Chapter 53 The King Cannot Be Humiliated! Even if he doesn't care, I do.
Gu Yuena was so frightened that her whole body went limp.
She didn't know what had happened.
No one knows who that terrifying figure is.
All she knew was—
How terrifying!
How scary! How scary!
She instinctively turned around and ran towards the blue figure by the pond.
She wanted to go to his side.
She only felt safe when he was by her side.
But she had only run a few steps—
She saw Su Ling's face.
The boy still sat under that old peach tree.
He still held that emerald green bamboo fishing rod.
But the expression on his face—
Gu Yuena had never seen him like this before.
Those eyes, which reflected the rise and fall of the Milky Way, were now slightly narrowed.
An invisible, suffocating sense of oppression rose from the depths of Gu Yuena's heart.
That wasn't intimidation.
That was... murderous intent?
Gu Yuena's steps suddenly froze.
She dared not go any further.
I could only stand there at a distance, watching that blue figure from behind.
"Who...who is that?"
Gu Yuena's voice trembled, tinged with tears.
"Is he...your greatest enemy?"
She stared intently at Su Ling's retreating figure.
Her purple-gold eyes were brimming with tears.
The boy's handsome, almost ethereal face appeared exceptionally fragile in her eyes at that moment.
She didn't know how powerful that being was.
But she knew that anything that could make Su Ling show such an expression must be terrifying.
It's terrifying.
She was afraid he couldn't beat her.
I'm afraid he'll get hurt.
I'm afraid... he'll die.
Su Ling did not turn around.
"he?"
His voice was very soft, as if he were talking about something trivial.
"Unworthy."
Gu Yuena was stunned.
Unworthy?
That kind of terrifying existence that made the entire world tremble—
In his words, it was simply "unworthy"?
But the next second, Gu Yuena suddenly understood.
When Su Ling said "unworthy"—
It's not contempt.
It's not sarcasm.
It is stating the facts.
Just like someone seeing an ant, they would only find it laughable.
Gu Yuena's tense body relaxed slightly.
But just then—
Buzz!
Behind Su Ling, the void suddenly cracked open!
A Tai Chi symbol slowly rotated out.
The Tai Chi symbol is so vast that it is boundless.
The black and white yin-yang fish swim within it.
Each movement caused a myriad of roars and the laws of nature to tremble!
In the center of the Tai Chi diagram, a figure is coalescing.
It was a woman.
Her black hair cascaded down to her waist.
The ends of her hair had a faint golden sheen.
Her golden eyes were like stars, dazzling and captivating.
Its opening and closing seems to pierce through eternity of time and space.
Her figure was ethereal and graceful, her elegance refined and otherworldly.
Yet it also exudes an indescribable sharpness and edge.
Her face was so beautiful that it was almost unbearable to look directly at her.
But that kind of beauty is cold.
It's cold to the bone.
It was as if everything in the world was just dust in her eyes.
The moment she appeared, her gaze fell on Gu Yuena.
A divine sense at the level of a true immortal swept over it in an instant.
Gu Yuena's origins, lineage, experiences, and everything that just happened.
She saw it all.
Her already cold golden eyes narrowed slightly at this moment.
A sudden, undisguised killing intent surfaced deep within her eyes.
Gu Yuena froze.
That murderous intent was too direct.
It went straight to the point where she simply couldn't handle it.
She felt her soul being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
As long as the other party is willing—
With a gentle squeeze, she will vanish completely.
"The king must not be insulted!"
The female Kunpeng's voice was not loud; in fact, it could be described as very soft.
But the moment those four words fell, Gu Yuena felt her soul being gripped tightly.
It was an indescribable fear.
It wasn't anger, nor was it intimidation.
It is a kind of "reality" that is colder than death...
The woman who emerged from the Tai Chi diagram was standing no more than three zhang away from her.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her golden eyes shone like stars.
Her face was absolutely beautiful.
But that kind of beauty is chilling to the bone.
She was so cold that it seemed as if everything in the world was just dust in her eyes.
"you..."
Gu Yuena opened her mouth, as if to say something.
But it felt like my throat was blocked, and I couldn't squeeze out a single word.
She could only watch helplessly as the woman walked towards her, step by step.
despair.
despair.
despair.
The footsteps were very light.
With each step she took, Gu Yuena felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer.
The female Kunpeng stopped in her tracks.
She stood three feet in front of Gu Yuena, looking down at the silver-haired little girl.
There was no warmth in those golden eyes.
Do you know who he is?
Her voice was calm.
It was eerily calm.
Gu Yuena opened her mouth, shook her head, then nodded.
She didn't know how to answer.
All she knew was that he was very strong.
They're so powerful they can treat the border sea like a pond.
He was so powerful that he could casually bestow upon her the essence of a true dragon.
She was so powerful that she went from a dying half-step god-king to a creator god of the cave realm.
But only now did she realize—
She knew nothing of his "strength".
"His name is Xuan Tian."
The female Kunpeng's voice was very soft.
But every word was like a knife piercing Gu Yuena's heart.
Thirty years ago, An Lan, the immortal king of another realm, led his foreign army to knock on the gate.
"No one in the nine heavens and ten earths can stop him."
"Without the Immortal Realm emerging, none can rival us."
"It was he who, with his severely wounded body, severed Anlan's Immortal King's Weapon with a single sword strike, halting the foreign army's advance on the frontier."
"After that battle, throughout the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all races revered him and worshipped him as the Heavenly Emperor, both inside and outside the Imperial Pass."
Gu Yuena's pupils contracted sharply.
Heavenly Emperor?
The Immortal King?
She didn't know what level of immortality the king was.
But the fact that he is revered by all races as the "Heavenly Emperor" is enough to explain everything.
"You think he's just the 'strong one' you see?"
The female Kunpeng's voice remained calm.
But beneath that calm lies an extreme, suppressed coldness.
"You think he's just a 'god' who can save you at will?"
You're wrong.
"Throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, countless living beings and countless powerful beings are watching him."
"He is hope."
"It is the only light for countless people in the darkness."
"It is the only hope for countless people in despair."
Do you know how many people are willing to die for him?
Do you know how many people would do anything just to catch a glimpse of him?
"Do you know how many people yearn for even a sliver of his favor, yet don't even have the right to get close to him?"
The female Kunpeng bowed slightly.
Those golden eyes were very close to Gu Yuena's purple-gold eyes.
"And you—"
"A stupid, mixed-blood dragon."
"An ant from a lower plane."
"A piece of trash who should have died in the Boundary Sea, but was saved by him and has survived until now."
"How dare you bite him? How dare you desecrate his dignity?"
The female Kunpeng's voice suddenly rose, each word carrying an overwhelming pressure.
Gu Yuena froze, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She wanted to argue.
I want to say that I didn't do it on purpose.
But what could she say?
She did bite.
It's biting at something that shouldn't be desecrated by anyone.
Even if he doesn't care.
The female Kunpeng straightened up.
The coldness in her golden eyes deepened even further.
"But I care."
"Countless people care."
