Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 525: An Unexpected Disaster

Gongsun Liu paused for a moment before continuing.

"If the Third Prince hadn't brought this waste with him, I might have made an exception and allowed you entry to this place to witness the battle of numerous powerful beings.

What a pity.

The Third Prince just had to bring someone, and had to pick this waste. I hereby declare today that none from the Tianyuan Nation shall set foot on Divine Demon Island."

Gongsun Liu spoke with an icy tone, devoid of any emotion; his words hung in the air like a frozen abyss, indifferent.

"Hm?"

"It sounds like this Gongsun Liu has some personal vendetta against that Protector by the Third Prince's side, doesn't it?"

The crowd sensed something unusual in Gongsun Liu's words.

They did not know the name of the old man Tian Tuo, but if they knew he was called Gongsun Jian, they could guess a few things from the surname.

It turns out that Gongsun Jian was also a prince of the Great Yan Imperial Family three thousand years ago.

However, Gongsun Jian was not a son of the Empress, nor was he born of any concubines; he was the offspring born from the lewd acts of a newly enthroned young Emperor, drunk, with a palace maid.

In the royal harem, it was not unheard of for the Emperor to impregnate a maid; ordinarily, she would just be granted the title of a minor concubine, and that would be the end of it.

But the circumstances surrounding Gongsun Jian were quite exceptional.

The old Emperor of Great Yan died suddenly, and the young Emperor had just turned fifteen and was newly enthroned. The Empress had just been established, and there were no other concubines in the harem yet.

At this time, the Empress had not yet conceived, and there were no concubines, so a palace maid was pregnant first?

A son born to a palace maid becoming the Eldest Prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Great Yan? What kind of situation was that?

At the time, the ministers remonstrated that this child should not be born.

But the young Emperor was young and kind-hearted and couldn't bear to kill the maid. Moreover, he arranged for her to be protected so that she could give birth to the child.

After Gongsun Jian was born, fewer guards were around the maid, and she was killed by the Empress of the Lin Clan.

The young him was then astonishingly adopted by the Empress of the Lin Clan, the very enemy who had killed his mother.

From a young age, Gongsun Jian showed exceptional cultivation talents, but the Empress of the Lin Clan did not allow him to cultivate, and even frequently subjected him to torture.

Unaware of the truth, he could only cultivate in secret.

After coming of age at eighteen, Gongsun Jian finally learned the truth from another maid who had been close to his mother.

He discovered that his biological mother was killed by the current Empress, who had raised him for over a decade!

Only then did he understand why the Empress had treated him poorly all these years, why she looked at him with disgust, and even why she prohibited his cultivation.

Upon learning the truth, he went to confront her in anger, only to be mocked and scorned by the Empress. She insulted him, saying that a toad longed for swan meat, and that a child born of a maid dared to dream of becoming the Eldest Prince and inheriting the throne?

Overcome with rage, he drew his sword and struck at the Empress.

At that time, although he had secretly cultivated the Flying Swallow Sword Technique, he was only at the Meridian Opening Realm; his cultivation was very weak, and he was captured on the spot.

Fortunately, the young Emperor happened by and rescued him.

Thereafter, Gongsun Jian moved out of the palace occupied by the Empress and started plotting his revenge plan.

But to assassinate an Empress of a nation was an extremely difficult task, especially since this Empress was the granddaughter of the current Protector of the Nation, Lin Changsheng.

Lin Changsheng was of Quasi-Emperor Cultivation, considered half the sky of the Ancient Kingdom of Great Yan; naturally, the young Emperor would not offend the Lin Clan for his sake.

Eventually unable to wait, he decided to assassinate the Empress during one of her outings.

But the attempt was exposed. Badly wounded, he fled in panic, ultimately escaping to the Tianyuan Nation where he hid his identity and kept a low profile.

After this failed revenge, his hate extended beyond the Empress of the Lin Clan, to include the Lin Family and even his father, the current Emperor.

He had been secretly accumulating power in the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom, hoping one day to make those from the Great Yan Imperial Family pay the price.

In the end, seeing no hope of becoming emperor, he set his sights on the Emperor Breakthrough Pill, which eventually led to his intersection with Qinchuan. He obtained the Seven Absolute Devouring Sword Technique, and his cultivation shot up, finally holding out hope for revenge.

Although he had failed to assassinate the empress, he inflicted her with a chronic illness. Whenever the weather turned cold, the empress would be in pain all day, unable to bear it.

Gongsun Liu witnessed his mother's suffering from a young age, and after understanding the reasons behind it, even though he had only seen a portrait of Gongsun Jian, he had etched the man into his memory since childhood.

He was constantly thinking of killing Gongsun Jian with his own hands, to avenge his mother.

This was also why Gongsun Liu recognized Gongsun Jian at first glance.

"Gongsun Liu, is this how you speak to your elder brother?"

Gongsun Jian's aura was also in disarray, becoming quite unstable, ready to erupt at any moment when he saw Gongsun Liu.

"Hmph, elder brother? You have long been expelled from our Gongsun Imperial lineage, how can you still claim that title?"

Gongsun Liu said coldly and indifferently.

"Good! Good! Very good! Although you were not yet born and had no part in the affair of those days, your mother is the chief culprit. I didn't want to bicker with you youngsters, but since you are so arrogant, then I will take back some interest from you first, you little beast!"

With that said,

Gongsun Jian thrust his sword forward.

"Seven Absolute Devouring Sword Technique, the First Absolute!"

Sword light poured down like rain, turning into an endless black waterfall. He used a finishing move as soon as he made a move.

The waterfall roared, the heavens and earth changed colors, the seawater surged, and endless huge waves rose to the skies.

"Hmph, Gongsun Jian, bullying the weak, what skill is that? Let me, an old woman, take you on!"

The middle-aged woman who had been standing behind Gongsun Yan shouted sternly and simultaneously drove her swordsmanship towards Gongsun Jian.

Although Gongsun Jian and Gongsun Liu were of the same generation, both born to the current emperor of Great Yan, Gongsun Jian was the eldest son, while Gongsun Liu was only one of the many sons.

Gongsun Jian was in fact three thousand years older than Gongsun Liu.

Both their sword techniques were exquisite, the middle-aged woman already at the peak of the Great Saint realm, while Gongsun Jian was at the early stage of the Great Saint realm, thus they were evenly matched.

"Crackle and pop!"

Their Sword Qi collided, creating turmoil as if it were wind sweeping through fallen leaves, akin to a raging tide washing away sand.

Huge waves rose from the sea surface, while countless Demon Beasts beneath the sea hurriedly fled from this area.

Li Shu, Dongfang Zhen, and both Gongsun Liu and Gongsun Yan retreated several miles away. They couldn't involve themselves in a battle of this caliber, fought with full-force.

"Buzz!"

Gongsun Jian's eyes blazed with light. His gaze, having dimmed for many years, now flickered with the resurgence of old grudges.

He lunged forward, his black Sword Qi as if emerging from the Abyss, like an enraged Demon King, with divine brilliance leaping and incredibly dazzling.

All eyes were wide open, nervously watching the situation in the arena.

"Boom!"

The middle-aged woman's figure was now like a divine swallow taking flight, with specks of light on her divine wings transforming into divine swords.

"Flying Swallow Sword Technique!"

"This is the Flying Swallow Sword Technique!"

The spectators exclaimed in unison at the sight of Great Yan Imperial Family's secret and unsurpassed sword technique.

As the longswords composed of specks of light took flight, everyone moved back dozens of miles again. The Flying Swallow Sword Technique was unparalleled in the world, with an extremely wide range of damage; they certainly didn't want to suffer unprovoked calamities.
