The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 233 A New Jade Book?! (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

An Lushan had just swallowed the [Chi You's Precious Blood] when he found the taste strange. Before he could savor it, an incomparably sharp Geng metal aura transformed into thousands of long spears, their cold light flashing, and attacked him.

An Lushan felt a surge of resentment.

Previously, he had unleashed his bloodthirst and exerted all his strength, but he was still no match for this Golden Heavenly King. He was even forced to flee in a sorry state, suffering serious injuries. Now, confident that he had swallowed Chi You's precious blood, his arrogance surged, and he sneered:
"I have already refined the power of the War God Chi You, and you still dare to come here to die!"

"Today I'll show you what true power is!"

Chi You's precious blood possesses immense power and might.

An Lushan, in particular, had just been terrified and somewhat worried that rashly consuming Chi You's precious blood might cause a backlash and a significant drop in his strength. However, after consuming it, he found that he did not experience any discomfort whatsoever.

My throat is a little uncomfortable.

Presumably, he had already attempted some initial refinement and developed a preliminary adaptability to the Lord of War's murderous aura, hence his bold and unrestrained declaration: "Come!!!"

Jin Tianwang became more cautious and unleashed all his skills without reservation. An Lushan felt that his strength must have increased significantly. With his mindset changed, his moves became more reckless and chaotic, relying solely on a fierce aura to strike randomly.

After this fight, one was on high alert, while the other let his rage run rampant. Under such circumstances, even if the two were evenly matched, one could still lose, let alone the fact that the Golden Heavenly King was already three points stronger.

In just over thirty rounds, An Lushan was beaten into a sorry state, forced to retreat and kneel on the ground, spitting out blood. Even his insect molting technique was barely maintained, and insects were crawling in the blood that fell to the ground.

At the same time, an indescribable feeling of nausea churned in my stomach.

A strong smell of urine made him nauseous, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He opened his mouth and vomited violently. Jin Tianwang originally intended to follow up with another attack, but he couldn't help but take three steps back and raise his hand to cover his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves.

The warrior in golden armor and white robes had a look of amazement in his eyes.

"I thought it was just a fat pig blocking the way."

"I never thought I could eat something so filthy."

"It does make me... um."

"Look at them with new eyes."

"I have a good appetite."

Upon hearing the words of the Golden King, An Lushan knelt on the ground, watching the [Chi You Divine Blood] he had spat out turn into a pool of filth. Veins bulged on his forehead as anger, pain, shame, and the madness of losing a treasure all erupted at once.

"Master Qingming!!!"

I will kill you!

He roared wildly, gripping his weapon, and went to fight Jin Tianwang. However, in the process of fighting, his emotions were out of control, which did not bring about an increase in strength. Instead, it made him lose his composure. After only a few rounds, the long spear in An Lushan's hand, which was exuding a bloodthirsty aura, was knocked away by Jin Tianwang with a single move and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

The Golden Heavenly King's Gengjin spear pierced through An Lushan's heart like lightning!
The malevolent energy of Geng metal suddenly dispersed, transforming into countless golden threads that completely bound the obese body, lifting it into the air. The tiny insects that had molted were pierced and annihilated one by one by the golden threads. The crisscrossing golden threads even transformed in the air into the shape of a dazzling yet cruel divine tree.

Golden Heavenly King versus An Lushan—

Golden King wins decisively.

The golden-armored, white-robed general pressed his spear against the ground and said coldly, "Such meager tricks have managed to cause such chaos in the mortal realm. The art of war, once the army is gone, is indeed utterly vulnerable."

"you--!!!"

An Lushan tried to break free, but the Gengjin evil energy was extremely adept at attacking and killing. At this moment, it pierced through him and made him levitate, unable to move at all. The Golden Heavenly King said coldly, "With your abilities, you could never bewitch Li Longji at his peak, let alone stir up disaster."

"You must have a powerful force supporting you. Tell me, who is it?"

The Golden Heavenly King is extremely sensitive to the existence of treasures and opportunities.

An Lushan let out low, sinister laughs, which gradually became hoarse and less human, sounding more like a wild beast. Wisps of black mist emanated from his body, beginning to erode and envelop the shimmering golden threads.

The Golden Heavenly King's pupils contracted, and with a flick of his spear, his magical power surged, transforming into a gigantic Dharma image that protected him from behind. He stared intently at the man driven to the brink of despair, and with a deep roar, two obese and twisted phantoms emerged from behind An Lushan—

One figure had a dark complexion, resembling a fierce frontier general, dressed in Han-style armor, extremely fat and tall, and wielding an ancient halberd; the other was hazy and twisted, exuding a greedy and tyrannical inhuman aura.

The two illusory figures flashed by and instantly merged with An Lushan.

An Lushan unleashed a fierce aura that suddenly spread. The Golden Heavenly King crossed his arms in front of him to block the burst of wind, only to see his golden protective aura being torn apart.

"...The current Xiyue, as expected of the number one in attack and killing, without relying on power, I'm afraid no one in the Five Mountains can match you. An Lushan was originally a veteran general of the time, but you forced him to reveal his true form."

A calm voice rang out, tinged with a hint of appreciation:

“If we hadn’t already combined the power and status of Dong Zhuo and Taotie with him before his birth, according to the records in the Book of Bai Ze, and used it as his trump card, he would probably have been killed by you just now.”

"...The Four Fiends Taotie, and, the Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo?"

Jin Tianwang gripped his spear, watching the figure, now even larger and more distorted after merging with the other two auras. An Lushan, at this moment, possessed the power and status of both Dong Zhuo and Taotie, becoming even more formidable and exuding overwhelming power. This was in stark contrast to Dong Zhuo, recorded in the *Records of the Three Kingdoms* as "a treacherous minister who held sway like a tiger, causing the entire land to tremble."

And the Taotie, one of the most ominous creatures of ancient times, which eats and devours everything.

King Jin realized that he was no longer a match for him.

His gaze fell upon the distorted An Lushan beside a figure standing calmly, shrouded in darkness, holding a scroll in his hand, presented as a jade book. The Golden Heavenly King said, "...The Book of Bai Ze, Dong Zhuo, and Taotie."

"Why do the powers of those who are dead and those who have been defeated still appear?"

The figure bowed slightly and smiled, "Of course they are dead."

"But there are wonderful methods in the world that can extract the imprints and status of these heroes from the principles of heaven and earth, transform them into wonderful methods, and then pass this power on to another person."

"This is the power of the [Bai Ze Book]."

The figure continued unhurriedly:

"Now you are probably no match for An Lushan. However, it is surprising that you were able to perceive this situation and see through the mystery with your martial arts skills. In that case, I have a suggestion."

"Why don't we join forces?"

The figure reached out, and within the jade scroll, two figures lit up, suddenly radiating endless brilliance, and landed in front of the white-robed general. One was as steady as a mountain, deep and imposing; the other was heroic and sharp.

"We still have two more people with the rank recorded."

"The Great Han Dynasty—Marquis of Changping, Grand General and Grand Marshal Wei Qing."

"Li Jing, Duke of Wei of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"Once the Golden Heavenly King accepts these two, he will naturally know their wonders and his strength will increase greatly. They will also become our colleagues. At that time, not only An Lushan in front of us, but even Dongyue will be no match for them."

Mount Tai—!!

A fierce glint appeared in Jin Tianwang's eyes. Recalling the humiliation of being deposed that day, he looked at the two jade talismans radiating a rich, flowing light before him. A slight smile appeared on his handsome, arrogant face. He said, "Is that so?"

"In that case, I—"

"reject."

The figure froze.

The Golden King gripped his spear, his voice cold and disdainful: "Li Longji's imperial decree can be considered a cooperation, but your jade talisman doesn't seem to indicate any cooperation..."

A mountain spirit who cultivated for a thousand years ago was imbued with the malevolent aura of the Qin army passing by after Shang Yang's reforms. When King Wu of Qin died lifting a tripod, he finally regained some of his spirituality, but was seen by a Taoist named Ge Hong, who recorded it in the book "Baopuzi".

It is said that the spirit of the mountain is shaped like a child with one foot, the foot pointing backward, and it likes to attack people... If you know this and call upon it, it will not dare to attack you. It is also called Chaokong, and can be called by both names.

From that moment on, he knew he had been defined, described, and studied. He loathed this feeling of being perceived and bound. So he gradually broke free from his physical form, tempered his demonic energy, joined forces with Li Longji, and finally became the God of the Western Mountain!

Still unwilling to give up, still relentlessly moving forward, the most revered of the Five Sacred Mountains, the master of Zhongnan Mountain.

Just for the sake of being free from constraints.

At any cost.

He raised his spear, pointing it straight ahead.

King Jin sneered: "You've got one thing wrong."

The figure asked, "Isn't it all you want—the treasure?"

The Golden King said coldly, "I want power and treasures only to avoid being subservient to others and to be free from constraints; but I will not bow down to others in order to gain power."

“Zhongnan Mountain, Dongyue Mountain, and Ge Hong were all unsuitable.”

boom! ! ! !

Pure, self-centered, and unparalleled in the world, the fierce aura of Geng metal rises.

"You are even worse."

"I will not bow to anyone; I will still get everything I want!"

"Now--"

"Put your treasure down for me!"
