Gu Sacred City had fallen into chaos. Above the heavens the countless threads of gray Dou Qi behind the Gu Clan Supreme Elder condensed into a colossal giant a thousand feet tall radiating death and decay. This was the manifestation of a Dou Sheng True Body a sign of peak mastery and destructive force.
The elder's eyes glowed with arrogance as he looked down upon Hun Miesheng. His voice echoed like thunder. "Boy this is the last warning. Leave behind what you carry and perhaps I may grant you mercy. Refuse and do not blame me for being ruthless."
Hun Miesheng tilted his head a mocking smile curling on his lips. "Such heavy death aura. Old man your life cannot last much longer can it. I wonder how much lifespan you burn every time you summon this body."
The elder's face darkened the insult piercing deep into his hidden weakness. With a roar the gray giant's palm descended from the heavens covering the sky. It looked unbearably slow yet in the blink of an eye it pressed against Hun Miesheng and smashed him from the sky into the city below. The impact sent shockwaves outward flattening hundreds of meters into rubble. Within the city countless weaker lives were crushed like ants.
The elder looked down frowning. "Crushed already." But before his voice could fade his giant hand trembled. A blue light seeped through the cracks. Slowly impossibly the massive palm was forced upward. Hun Miesheng's figure emerged standing firm one arm raised as he held back the hand of the giant. His eyes gleamed sharply.
"Dou Sheng True Body is not your privilege alone." His words had barely fallen when behind him a human shaped shadow formed. Heaven and earth's Dou Qi rushed to it like rivers flowing into the sea. With a deafening sound the shadow expanded into a towering form bathed in purple-golden radiance.
Another thousand foot giant stood across from the gray one. The aura it radiated was imperial as though an emperor had descended into the world. The pressure was so intense even the Gu Clan elder felt a trace of suppression in his heart.
"A purple-golden Dou Sheng True Body." His eyes widened. Never in his long life had he seen such a thing. Purple and gold were the colors of heaven and earth. For a True Body to appear in such form meant that the man before him carried secrets beyond imagination. "This boy's opportunities are vast. Such fortune cannot be allowed to exist outside my grasp."
Hun Miesheng glanced at his own manifestation with slight surprise. It was the first time he had summoned it in true battle. "Is this the effect of the Chaos Swallowing Heaven Art." But there was no time to ponder. The gray giant struck again.
The force of an eight star peak Dou Sheng condensed into a single blow. The sky groaned space twisted light bent under its weight. Hun Miesheng sneered. "In a contest of strength this hall master has never feared anyone." The purple-golden giant swung its fist forward. The two forces collided with an explosion that sent violent Dou Qi storms ripping through the city. Entire districts crumbled the earth split into a trench a thousand feet long. Both giants staggered backward evenly matched.
The elder's face grew grim. He had unleashed his peak might yet this youth still stood. His arm tingled with numbness faint sparks of lightning biting at his flesh. "Thunder power of such grade." He muttered. He had expected Hun Miesheng's flames but not this hidden lightning force that could unsettle even him.
Again and again the two giants clashed each strike shaking the heavens. Within a few dozen breaths they had exchanged a hundred blows. Destruction swept through Gu Sacred City. To the people below it was like immortals warring above their heads leaving only ruin and despair.
Hun Miesheng's blood surged with excitement. The thrill of raw power filled his veins. The elder by contrast grew ever more grim. He was a veteran eight star peak Dou Sheng yet he could not suppress an opponent only at the initial stage.
Finally both giants retreated again. The elder's eyes narrowed his tone grave. "Boy I must admit you have strength. To survive so many exchanges with me is no small feat. Were we equals in cultivation I might not be your match." His gaze turned sharp and cold. "But unfortunately your realm is still only early eight star. At this level every step is a chasm. Today I will show you the difference between initial and peak."
His hands moved forming seals with practiced swiftness. Mysterious golden runes flowed from his palms gathering into patterns. Behind him the gray Dou Sheng True Body mirrored his movements. Hun Miesheng's eyes flickered. "That technique. The Emperor Seal Art." He recalled having once seen Yang Hao attempt it though crudely. This elder however performed it with flawless mastery.
The first seal condensed with a rumble. A golden mark formed radiating the power to split mountains. "First Seal Mountain Splitting Seal." The elder's hands did not pause. More runes surged. "Second Seal Sea Overturning Seal." Two golden prints floated before him radiating dreadful power.
Hun Miesheng folded his arms smiling faintly. "With only two seals you are not even qualified to scratch me."
The elder ignored him eyes closed in concentration. His fingers wove faster. "Third Seal Earth Shrouding Seal. Fourth Seal Heaven Annihilating Seal." Four seals floated in the void their light illuminating the city. His gaze turned upon Hun Miesheng. "Is this enough."
Hun Miesheng's smile widened. "Not enough."
The elder sneered. "Then I shall let you witness the true secret art of my Gu Clan. The Emperor Seal Art with all five seals combined." His voice grew heavy with power. His hand movements shifted again the complexity rising to a level few could comprehend. The heavens themselves trembled as energy poured toward him from every direction. White threads of Dou Qi visible to the naked eye streamed through the air converging madly.
"Emperor Seal Art Fifth Seal." His voice resonated with the weight of ages. "Ancient Emperor Seal manifest."
A golden seal bearing the ancient character for Emperor burst forth from the void. Its weight was so immense the entire Gu Sacred City groaned under its pressure. The oppressive force blanketed heaven and earth leaving nowhere to hide.
