Chapter 550: The Comet That Destroyed Celestial City

Jiu Shen also tried to ascend towards this mysterious floating city, but he couldn't even reach the mid part.

Lao Gou saw that Jiu Shen wasn't focusing on their battle. He felt that the man was treating him lightly now and this made him furious. "Jiu Shen, don't think too highly of yourself! That great personage might have felt pity for you back then, but that doesn't mean anything! You are still nothing compared to him! Don't even think of reaching that place! Even Jian Wang and I failed after trying multiple times. Do you think you're better than us?! Fool!"

Lao Gou's aura came crashing down on Jiu Shen, but the latter remained unperturbed as he faced the wild energy that enveloped his body.

His white robes fluttered along with the turbulent winds. His long silver hair danced wildly.

Jiu Shen's expression turned cold as he suppressed the confusion he was feeling. His questions can be answered eventually, so he decided to finish the battle first.

"Lao Gou, I will never forgive you! You made her suffer a million years of torment! Because of your selfishness, a pure and kind soul lived in agony! Die!" Jiu Shen finally became serious.

He fired thousands of invisible spiritual arrows toward Lao Gou while summoning a fearsome sword movement. He even strengthened his sword using his anma!

Triple casting!

Lao Gou was alarmed upon sensing the dreadful spiritual attacks. He sweated bullets as he created a spiritual barrier to block the invisible arrows. He then muttered. "Impregnable Fortress..."

An incorporeal golden fortress emerged in front of him that blocked the powerful sword strike of Jiu Shen.

BAANNG!

This spell was his strongest defensive arts. It could even block a full-powered attack of Jian Wang!

However, Lao Gou noticed that the golden fortress had cracks slowly forming!

"What?!" Lao Gou gritted his teeth as he strengthened the fortress by adding his true essence.

He sighed in relief when the cracks vanished.

"Second Sword Dance: Swallowing the Sky..." He suddenly heard a calm voice drifting to his ears, followed by a strong power that abruptly rained down on him.

Lao Gou lifted his head and saw Jiu Shen's sword sucking the clouds and the sky like a greedy beast. The golden fortress and the spiritual barrier that protected him showed signs of crumbling.

"No way! That was only the first move?!" He thought that the sword strike earlier was some sort of killing move, but it was actually just the first movement! What kind of scary sword technique was this?!

Jiu Shen's face was expressionless as he said. "This is a technique that I made during the time I was tortured inside the God Sealing Tower. A sword technique born for the sake of killing! I didn't plan to use this since the surrounding area might be affected, but it would be a pity not to use this on the very person that gave me the opportunity to create this sword technique!" 

Lao Gou could already feel the rampaging power of the sword technique. "You leave me no choice!" He spat out coldly as he summoned the God Sealing Tower!

Om!

A rift in space opened and a huge tower that reached the skies suddenly emerged. Its body was covered in rusty chains.

The black tower emitted an overpowering aura!

This was the God Sealing Tower of the Flame Angel Race! A Celestial-rank item that was passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom of the Flame Angel Race! A race of battle angels that was known for their destructive powers. The race of Hestia...

Jiu Shen recalled her lonely image when she was telling him her story back then.

The God Sealing Tower! It was also because of this thing that Jiu Shen was sealed for millions of years! He was tortured and repeatedly mocked...

The strong suppressive power of the God Sealing Tower was felt by the living beings thousands of kilometers away.

The thick rusty chains around the tower suddenly moved as if they were alive!

Thousands of chains slithered towards Jiu Shen like serpents!

When he saw the serpent-like chains, Jiu Shen lifted his sword and calmly whispered. "Third Sword Dance: Descent of the Comet..."

Hm?

Lao Gou felt the hairs on his back rising all of a sudden. He lifted his head and saw a huge comet that was so large that it could cover ten cities placed side by side!

"Are you insane?! You will destroy a large part of the Central Region with that attack!" Lao Gou felt petrified by the power behind the comet. It was impossible to evade it!

Lao Gou hastily controlled the God Sealing Tower. He threw the tower above the skies and poured his true essence without holding back!

Seeing this, Jiu Shen grinned. His body was covered in archaic golden symbols.

Everyone around the Central Region was stunned silly when they saw the huge comet descending with unstoppable momentum.

"What the hell is that?!"

"Is this Celestial Emperor Lao Gou's power?"

"What is happening?!"

Everyone immediately scrambled at the terrifying sight. They left their houses without hesitation and looked at the Central Region with worry in their eyes.

"Who is fighting with Celestial Emperor Lao Gou?"

"People from Celestial City said that it was a man named Jiu Shen..."

Millions of spectators watched the scene with apprehension.

No one dared to move closer to the Central Region.

They could sense the rampaging power of the clash between the two Celestials and even from where they stood, they still couldn't feel at ease.

"So this is a fight between Celestials..."

Everyone felt their chests tightening as they watched the battle from afar.

The huge comet was closing in and everyone saw a huge black tower controlling millions of rusty chains to hold back the comet.

However, the chains slowly melted upon getting closer to the comet.

It couldn't be stopped!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!

It came crushing towards the black tower.

That was the last scene that everyone saw because they were flung away by the huge force caused by the violent collision.
