Chapter 414 Ji Wuming vs Shi Yue (Two in One)
"Ji Wuming?!"
A gasp erupted from the crowd, watching the young man step out from among them. Countless hearts were filled with shock.
Where did this person come from?
The Ancient Ji Family had been reclusive since the Chaos Ancient Era. Now, after hundreds of millions of years, naturally few people remembered that such a powerful force once flourished.
Of course, some people still knew his origin and had seen this name on the ranking list before.
To occupy the fourth position on the points list, it was clear that this person's strength was by no means simple. Whether it was the influence of the Ancient Ji Family or Ji Wuming himself, he indeed had the capital to make others wary.
It was just that—everyone was still puzzled by his act of stepping forward as a pioneer at this moment.
On one hand, with the support of countless Heavenly Human Race members, Shi Yue's power had reached an unprecedented and terrifying level.
The many Heaven's Chosen present had not acted rashly, which showed a thing or two. Yet, this Ji Wuming dared to say he would fight him alone, which was a testament to his extreme confidence in his own strength!
On the other hand, everyone had placed their hopes on the Gu Family Emperor Child. He actually dared to step out and try to steal the limelight. Wouldn't such an action be a slap to Gu Yun's face?
For a moment, countless eyes fell upon Gu Yun. They wanted to see what this noble Gu Family Young Master would decide.
Feeling the exhilaration of being the center of attention, Ji Wuming's lips curved into a faint, cold sneer.
What Immortal Ancient Gu Family? If his Ancient Ji Family hadn't hidden from the world, how could the Three Thousand Dao Domains have submitted to the Gu Family?!
Now that he had emerged, he would let this world know the true profound heritage of his Ancient Ji Family!
He would step on this universally revered Gu Family Young Master!
He not only had to win, but he also had to win beautifully!
The Nine Yang Refining Sky Sword in his hand emitted a clear sword hum. Ji Wuming slightly raised his arrogant chin. He had gained much in the Ancient Continent and was confident he was no less than this Heavenly Human Race member before him.
His gaze was like lightning, directly meeting Gu Yun's: "What? Is the Gu Family Emperor Child afraid? If so, why don't you let me teach you what true Heaven's Chosen demeanor is!"
Ji Wuming's words were like a thunderclap, causing everyone present to gasp.
Such blatant provocation was simply a slap to the Gu Family's face!
The gazes of many Heaven's Chosen almost entirely converged on this young man. If he flinched from battle, then the Immortal Ancient Gu Family's reputation would plummet directly. Encountering an invading foreign race and not daring to fight—this would be a blow to the entire Gu Family's prestige in the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
Qin Qing霜's expression was somewhat solemn. This Ji Wuming… who was he?!
She truly didn't know. It seemed no such person had appeared in her previous life. Could it be that he was killed by Gu Yun on the spot before he could grow?
Yes, if he provoked Gu Yun like this, he would certainly not fare well at the hands of that outwardly kind but inwardly dark bastard!
She also looked at Gu Yun, wanting to know what he planned to do.
"What kind of trash is this, worthy of comparison with Gu Yun?"
Shi Qingwu watched all this with great indifference, scoffing at Ji Wuming's arrogance. With her system, she could easily detect Ji Wuming's talent.
Indeed, he was quite a bit stronger than Feng Wuhen.
If Gu Yun didn't exist, he might barely qualify to be her tool.
But compared to Gu Yun… Heh heh, he couldn't even compare to her current self!
Shi Qingwu now possessed six percent of Gu Yun's talent. To find someone whose talent surpassed hers in the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. This Ji Wuming dared to provoke Gu Yun; he simply didn't know how to write the word 'death'.
Just when everyone thought Gu Yun would not back down and would step forward to show his strength.
The young man merely raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful smile curving on his lips.
He did not act rashly. Instead, he elegantly raised his hand in a "please" gesture, even thoughtfully stepping back a few paces to give Ji Wuming more room to act.
"Since Young Master Ji Family wishes to be a vanguard for everyone in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, then I permit you to represent our Three Thousand Dao Domains in battle!"
"Let everyone see the strength of the Ancient Ji Family."
"Alas… it's truly a pity. If not for the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor back then, the Ji Family Family wouldn't have taken hundreds of millions of years to recover."
"Now that the Ji Family Family Young Master has emerged and wishes to contribute to my Three Thousand Dao Domains, I, Gu Yun, naturally cannot refuse!"
"Everyone, let us cheer for the Ji Family Family Young Master!"
Only in novel worlds would there be such a thing as two armies facing off and having a preliminary arena battle.
He wasn't some miserable general. Since the Child of Destiny wanted to make a grand show, he might as well fulfill his wish.
Their Destiny Value and cultivation were quite similar. It remained to be seen who would gain the upper hand.
Everyone also understood Gu Yun's words.
"This Gu Family Emperor Child…"
Luoshui Fairy chuckled. Gu Yun's words placed himself in the position of the lord, while Ji Wuming was merely a general fighting for the human race.
Legally, Ji Wuming was already at a disadvantage.
As for Di Wuchen, Shadow Slaughter, and others, they were naturally willing to do Gu Yun a favor. Although they had been in such a sorry state before Gu Yun, that was Gu Yun.
Bowing to the Immortal Ancient Gu Family's Emperor Child was no big deal. In fact, if they could make Gu Yun happy now, the previous matters could even be written off.
"Young Master Ji Family is mighty!!"
"Young Master Ji Family, quickly slay this fiend so we can leave safely."
"Just a mere barbarian, worthy of contending with our Three Thousand Dao Domains' Heaven's Chosen? Bah, why doesn't he take a piss and look at himself in the reflection."
Cheers rose and fell in the crowd.
It seemed like everyone's wish, but in reality, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Yun was merely using Ji Wuming as a pawn. What a vanguard, how unpleasant his words were.
But Ji Wuming had already spoken his grand words, and a battle with Shi Yue was his final choice!
He not only had to fight this battle, but he also had to win!
This was the true first shot he fired, representing the Ancient Ji Family's return to the Three Thousand Dao Domains!
He had originally intended to use this to coerce Gu Yun, waiting for him to act first due to his status, so he could sit back and watch, and incidentally test the fiend's strength for himself.
Ji Wuming naturally had a certain judgment regarding Shi Yue's strength; he was basically unrivaled in the Xiantai Realm.
Therefore, he didn't believe Gu Yun could defeat him. Everything would serve to build momentum for his final appearance.
But unfortunately, Gu Yun didn't follow his plan. He was indeed a useless coward.
"Hmph, putting on an act."
Muttering to himself, Ji Wuming turned to face Shi Yue: "Watch closely, today I will let you witness the true heritage of my Ancient Ji Family!"
"Everyone, listen to the sword's hum!!"
His long roar was like a thunderclap, and the Nine Yang Refining Sky Sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling golden light that pierced through the darkness!
Around him, energy waves surged, and nine solid-looking scorching sun phantoms rose behind him, their blazing light instantly dispelling the purple-black evil mist within a hundred zhang radius, illuminating this dead silent cage as if it were daytime!
"Nine Dragon Breaking Heaven Sword — Slash!!"
Where the sword edge pointed, nine golden dragon-shaped sword qi, condensed to the extreme, roared out.
Each golden dragon was lifelike, scales bristling, dragon eyes burning with the true sun fire that could incinerate everything, carrying a sharp roar that tore through space, instantly locking onto Shi Yue's vital points.
Wherever they passed, even space was scorched into distorted ripples, and a burnt smell permeated the air.
Everyone present was also severely shocked by the strength Ji Wuming displayed.
"Good!!"
"Young Master Ji Family is mighty!"
"Slay this arrogant foreign scoundrel!"
The crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers, as if they had already seen the purple-scaled monster turn to ashes under the magnificent dragon's might.
Di Wuchen, Shadow Slaughter, and others also nodded slightly. The power of this sword had indeed reached the peak of the Xiantai Realm, even subtly touching the threshold of a Quasi-Emperor.
Even after not appearing for hundreds of millions of years, the Ancient Ji Family still possessed extraordinary heritage!
Qin Qing霜's expression was calm and indifferent. Ji Wuming was indeed powerful, but Shi Yue was not an easy opponent. His continuous recovery ability meant that unless he was killed in one go, he would almost certainly be dragged into a quagmire of prolonged battle, unable to extricate himself.
Earlier in the Ancestral Dragon Hall, she had suffered greatly due to this characteristic.
Ji Wuming, without understanding the opponent's strength, rashly used powerful sword moves that consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, which might not be the correct choice.
Shi Qingwu's lips held an undisguised sneer. With her perspective as an immortal from her previous life, she could naturally see through the trick.
So she sneered softly: "The flashy moves are good, but unfortunately… a bit foolish."
"Completely incomparable to Gu Yun."
Gu Yun: "…"
He didn't care about their battle at all, or rather, this battle's outcome was predetermined from the start. He couldn't possibly let Ji Wuming actually win, could he?
A smile played on Gu Yun's lips. If nothing unexpected happened, this Shi Yue should be quite useful.
After all, he was the first Heavenly Human Race member in the plot to break the Quasi-Emperor shackles and escape from the Ancient Continent. His core was much stronger than Ji Wuming's.
It was just a pity that he had been depleted by himself. Now, he and Ji Wuming were evenly matched, a true battle between dragons and tigers.
Facing these Nine Dragon Sword Qi that could burn the sky and boil the seas, seemingly capable of leveling everything, Shi Yue, floating in mid-air, showed no fear. Instead, his face, covered in purple demonic patterns, revealed an even more ferocious and fanatical smile!
He neither dodged nor avoided, simply using his terrifying physical body to directly take the blows.
"Heh, seeking death!"
Ji Wuming couldn't help but sneer.
He naturally knew how terrifying his attack was. At this moment, he seemed to have already seen those nine blazing sun golden dragons, which could incinerate everything, completely tearing apart and burning Shi Yue's arrogant purple body into ashes!
Boom!
A deafening roar came, and Ji Wuming calmly sheathed his sword.
He prepared to listen to everyone's cheers.
But everyone present was incredibly quiet.
Not a single person made even the slightest sound.
This made Ji Wuming very puzzled. He turned around, his gaze cold, looking at everyone.
"Everyone, I have successfully slain the enemy leader. Your reactions… aren't they a bit too calm?"
"Heh, kid, aren't you celebrating a bit too early?"
"You think you can solve him with one strike? Do you think he's made of paper?"
Shadow Slaughter snorted disdainfully.
Ji Wuming sneered: "Before my Nine Dragon Breaking Heaven Sword, even if he had three lives, he would still perish on the spot!"
"Fellow Daoist, you worry too much!"
"Is that so?!"
Suddenly, a cold roar sounded in his ear. Ji Wuming, who had been incredibly calm, suddenly turned pale with fright. He mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body, his figure twisting, barely managing to dodge Shi Yue's powerful punch.
But the force of the punch still sent his body flying dozens of meters away.
"Bah, what ancient clans, imperial clans, they're all trash living off their ancestors' glory!"
"You humans have enslaved us for too long. Today is the day of our complete reckoning!"
Shi Yue retracted his fist, his gaze coldly sweeping over all the humans present, finally settling on Gu Yun, staring intently.
The killing intent in his eyes was completely undisguised. Compared to Ji Wuming, this mere clown, he clearly hated Gu Yun, that bastard, even more!
Behind him, countless cheers erupted. At this moment, almost all the Heavenly Human Race members had emerged from those giant cocoons, and Shi Yue's aura had reached an unprecedented level.
Everyone was on high alert, each taking out their most prized treasures. Once the battle began, it would no longer be a fight between two individuals, but a battle between two races.
"Heh heh, interesting, indeed interesting."
"If you only had those few tricks from before, I would be very disappointed!"
Just then, a voice tinged with some exasperation sounded.
Ji Wuming stood up again from the dust. He wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, forcing himself to maintain his composure, though inwardly he was extremely furious.
Bleeding?
He was actually bleeding!
And in front of so many people, in front of this guy Gu Yun.
He was sent flying by a single punch, so pathetic!
Ji Wuming had never experienced such humiliation in his life. This Shi Yue—he was courting death!!
"Ding! Child of Destiny Ji Wuming's Unrivaled Dao Heart has cracked. Destiny Value decreased by 1000 points. Great Luo Dao Pagoda Sixth Floor progress (79300/200000)."
"Ding! Ji Wuming is incredibly angry. Rewarding Villain Value 3000 points."
Two Destinies contending, Gu Yun benefited!
He was now happily watching two big fools fight to the death, without needing to enter the fray himself. It was truly exhilarating.
He was playing with Yao Qingli in his hands. The girl's eyelids trembled slightly, and her sweet sleep was nearing its end.
In the arena, Ji Wuming, now holding his sword again, fell into an extremely frenzied state, beginning to use the most primitive sword moves to fight Shi Yue.
The two sides exchanged blows. Once Ji Wuming became serious, Shi Yue found it very difficult to attack him.
However, Ji Wuming's attacks on Shi Yue would also heal at an extremely fast rate.
This seemed like a prolonged battle.
Finally, Ji Wuming was the first to lose patience.
After one clash, both sides retreated over a hundred meters. Seeing Shi Yue panting heavily, his aura clearly unstable.
The divine sword in Ji Wuming's hand shone with an even more brilliant light.
"Foreign race, to die by this sword is your honor!"
//415//
Chapter 415: A Turn of Events, Shi Yue's Breakthrough (Two-in-One)
Ji Wuming's long howl was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, carrying monstrous fury and a resolute determination to kill.
From birth until now, he had never experienced such a desperate battle; Shi Yue's recovery ability, like a maggot in the bone, had completely exhausted his patience.
What he needed to do now was seize this opening and use his most brilliant and domineering strike to completely erase this purple-scaled monster, along with the stain he brought upon him, from this world!
The power belonging to the Saint Body's origin was now unleashed without reservation; what he displayed was the Saint Body Dao Fetus, which had not appeared in the Three Thousand Dao Domains for a long time!
The young man's body radiated dazzling light, and the blood throughout his body seemed to ignite completely at this moment, like countless dormant volcanoes erupting simultaneously in his meridians!
"Great Sun Illuminating the Sky—Myriad Swords Return to the Sect!!!"
His roar reverberated through the entire cage space.
The Nine Yang Refining Sky Sword in his hand erupted with an unprecedentedly scorching divine light, and the sword body hummed, as if billions of Sword Qi were roaring in unison.
"Rumble—!"
In an instant, the world lost its color, and space wailed.
With Ji Wuming at the center, the space within thousands of feet around him was like a boiling furnace.
Countless golden divine swords, purely condensed from True Solar Fire and supreme Sword Qi, appeared out of thin air.
Each one was a hundred feet long, with pure gold runes flowing on its body that could incinerate all things, and its tip spewed out cold light that could tear through the void!
Myriad Swords was merely a figurative term; what was displayed before everyone's eyes at this moment was not ten thousand, but a hundred thousand! A million! Ten million!
Dense and overwhelming!
Unknowable, innumerable!
The golden river of swords obscured the entire sky, completely evaporating and dispersing the purple-black evil mist released by Shi Yue.
The majestic sword might descended like divine retribution, and the terrifying sword pressure was like billions of divine mountains pressing down simultaneously.
Some Heavenly Human Race warriors who had just broken out of their cocoons were instantly vaporized under this world-destroying sword might, without even having time to let out a scream, leaving not even a trace of ash!
In an instant, piercing screams erupted wildly.
Shi Yue's expression became incredibly frenzied; there was no greater pain in the world than watching one's own clansmen being cruelly slaughtered before one's eyes.
This was the absolute dignity of the Child of Destiny, and no one was allowed to defy it!
[Ding! Child of Destiny Shi Yue has fallen into extreme madness, generating extreme hatred towards Child of Destiny Ji Wuming, rewarding 3000 Villain Points]
[Ding! Host has successfully incited an unending struggle between two great Children of Destiny, conforming to villainous behavior, rewarding 1000 Villain Points]
"Roar—!!!"
Shi Yue's roar was no longer a human voice, but more like the blood-curdling wail of an ancient ferocious beast driven to a dead end, carrying a soul-tearing pain and fury.
He represented the wrath of the Heavenly Human Race, who had been imprisoned and deprived of their freedom for hundreds of millions of years!
In an instant, his entire body's gnarled purple muscles swelled wildly as if inflated, and thick blood vessels bulged and writhed beneath his skin like purple-black coiling dragons.
His already enormous body continued to expand at this moment, as if he wanted to become a towering giant, supporting the future of the Heavenly Human Race.
However, as the young man's fury intensified and his cultivation continued to rise, countless translucent, dark-gold chains, flowing with ancient runes, appeared out of thin air around his body!
These chains were not corporeal, yet they exuded a supreme majesty that could bind heaven and earth and suppress all Dao.
They appeared silently, coiling around Shi Yue's expanding body like billions of cold venomous snakes, deeply constricting into the cracks of his fractured scales, piercing into his flesh, and even entwining around the source of his power that was roaring madly, attempting to break through its limits!
The Ancient Continent did not allow the existence of beings above the Emperor!
At this moment, this seemed to be an ironclad rule, determining the future of the Heavenly Human Race.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!!!"
The chains constricting his flesh suddenly tightened, and Shi Yue's incomparably powerful body was instantly cut with countless terrifying wounds, deep enough to reveal bone.
Viscous, strangely purple-glowing blood spurted out like a fountain, dyeing the ground beneath him a demonic purple.
"A mere alien race, daring to defy the decree of human seniors?"
"Heh, wishful thinking!"
Di Wuchen sneered, stating that the Ancient Continent had always been a training ground, a place for the younger generation, who had the potential to achieve the Emperor Realm, to seek opportunities before each great era began.
As for these Heavenly Human Race, their resilient bodies and unyielding will were the best whetstones, and the sole reason why the human race had preserved them until now.
In the Three Thousand Dao Domains, myriad races stood, and countless races were almost in an unending struggle.
As the saying goes, 'Those not of our kind are sure to have different hearts!'
Naturally, countless human cultivators were delighted to see Shi Yue's current predicament.
Watching the young man's body spray blood and groan repeatedly with each tightening chain, it was like the most beautiful music in the world.
"Xiao Shi Tou!!"
"Big Brother Shi Yue!!"
"Shi Yue!"
The Heavenly Human Race warriors, seeing this scene, all let out desperate wails.
They saw Shi Yue, in order to resist the world-destroying sword river and protect their remaining clansmen, enduring a backlash thousands of times more painful than dismemberment!
He was using his flesh, blood, and origin to forcefully contend with the rules of this world!
A majestic woman, three meters tall, now clutched her chest, looking at Shi Yue with eyes full of love and pity: "Shi Yue, you will definitely succeed!"
Gathering the strength of all Heavenly Human Race was to completely break through the curse of the Heavenly Human Race at this critical juncture!
"Hmph… Ah…!!!!"
"I won't lose!!!!"
Shi Yue's teeth gnashed, each word carrying blood and deep-seated hatred. He struggled, his massive body twisting wildly under the restraint of the dark-gold chains, even as blood sprayed and power withered!
"Hahahaha! Beast! Still trying to struggle?! Die obediently!!"
Ji Wuming, suspended above the golden river of swords, saw Shi Yue being firmly bound by the Heavenly Dao shackles and struggling in agony, and his eyes erupted with unprecedented delight and ferocity. Shi Yue's sudden outburst had indeed startled him, but fortunately, this mere alien race was utterly unable to resist the rules from the Ancient Continent!
He was merely a moth drawn to a flame, destined to die without a burial place!
And the humiliation of being sent flying by a single punch earlier now had an outlet for release.
"Myriad Swords—Return to the Sect! Destroy—!!!"
He slammed his hands downwards.
The billions of golden divine swords, which obscured the entire sky and exuded world-destroying power, poured down like a destructive torrent that had received its final command!
Target—Shi Yue, who was firmly restrained and unable to move by the Heavenly Dao shackles.
The golden sword rain fell, each sword carrying the power to incinerate mountains and boil seas. Billions of light rays converged, forming a destructive pillar of light.
"Hmph, it's over. What a pity, if he hadn't tried to challenge the power of the rules, he might have had a chance."
Shadow Slaughter shook his head slightly, saying with a hint of regret.
"Indeed, with that powerful body, although Ji Family's Myriad Swords Return to the Sect is formidable, it wouldn't have achieved a decisive effect."
"Ji Wuming is already a bit too eager for quick success. That would have been his chance to counterattack, but unfortunately, everything is over now."
Even as an opponent, Di Wuchen showed the highest respect.
The other party was fighting for his own race; such matters had no right or wrong, only position.
Hundreds of millions of years of hatred could not be resolved simply by saying so. Both sides were destined to be enemies, but that did not prevent them from feeling respect for Shi Yue.
"Still can't do it?"
Gu Yun looked at Shi Yue and shook his head slightly. As expected, Shi Yue, having lost the Dragon Emperor Inheritance, could not successfully break through the shackles of the Ancient Continent.
His remaining 35,000 Destiny Points were also suppressed by Ji Wuming's 40,000 Destiny Points.
The current situation was as expected, but...
Gu Yun's mouth curved into a smile; Ji Wuming's victory did not align with his interests!
Having controlled Shi Yue for so long, how could he have done nothing?!
You might not get the opportunities bestowed by Destiny, but you must definitely accept the gifts from the Great Villain of Destiny!
Boom!
Just as everyone thought the situation was settled, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in the field.
An extremely terrifying aura suddenly appeared; he seemed to be a giant supporting a race, and his entire being erupted with unprecedented power!
What countless golden sword rains tempered was a terrifying monster shrouded in monstrous demonic energy!
Shi Yue's strength experienced an unprecedented and terrifying increase. His entire body erupted with a purple-black energy storm, and the dark-gold chains wrapped around him actually began to snap inch by inch!
"Crack—"
A crisp cracking sound was particularly jarring in the silent battlefield.
The dark-gold chains wrapped around Shi Yue actually showed the first crack!
Immediately after, like a chain reaction, countless cracks spread across the chains, and ancient runes dimmed and shattered one after another!
"This is impossible!!"
Ji Wuming's pupils constricted, and the triumphant smile on his face instantly froze.
The eyes of many Heavenly Talents were also filled with disbelief: "The Heavenly Dao shackles… have been shaken?!"
"Demonic energy? It's the power of demonic energy!!!"
Someone quickly recognized the reason for Shi Yue's transformation and spoke the truth in horror.
"How is this possible? Why would the Heavenly Human Race have anything to do with demons?"
"I heard before that there seemed to be Heavenly Demons born in the Ancient Continent. I was wondering why they hadn't come out to cause trouble, but I didn't expect them to have been enduring until now!"
"Damn it, we can't let him succeed in breaking through. Once he breaks the shackles, he is very likely to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and then it will be troublesome!"
Di Wuchen quickly reacted and called out to the crowd: "Everyone, let's kill this fiend together!"
"Let's nip the Heavenly Demon in the bud!"
For a time, emotions ran high, but the Heavenly Human Race were by no means weak; each of them was now as if injected with a stimulant.
Led by several elders who looked somewhat aged, they charged forward: "Everyone, protect Xiao Shi Tou! Everyone, come with me!!"
"Kill, kill all these outsiders!"
"Let them see that our Heavenly Human Race is not to be trifled with."
"The Heavenly Human Race has no cowards!"
In an instant, countless roars echoed through the field, and soon, the two sides collided like two torrents, and a bloody battle of fire erupted instantly!
In a flash, blood flowed like rivers, and corpses lay everywhere!
Battles between races were almost unending, but what surprised everyone was that many of the Heavenly Human Race here were already at the Great Saint level of cultivation, and in all aspects, they were stronger than human cultivators. If not for the many treasures supporting the human race, it would have been extremely difficult for them to even gain the upper hand.
Gu Yun, Qin Qing霜, and others were now entangled by several Great Saints of the Heavenly Human Race.
Even with all their might, they could not break through the obstruction. These tenacious fellows, each with a desperate resolve to die, would not give way even half a step, even if their bodies exploded and their souls withered!
They fulfilled their promise with their lives, absolutely not allowing human cultivators to approach Shi Yue even half a step!
"Damn it…"
Looking at Shi Yue, who was so close, countless people felt despair.
The demonic energy on the young man's body erupted, and the collision with the Heavenly Dao shackles produced terrifying shockwaves, shattering the space within a thousand feet like a mirror.
"Crack—Boom!!!"
The dark-gold chains that had bound him finally let out a mournful wail, overwhelmed, and after a earth-shattering explosion, they all shattered!
Shi Yue let out a long howl towards the sky, and purple-black demonic energy surged skyward like a volcanic eruption, condensing into a ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic god phantom behind him.
That phantom had eight arms, each holding a different weapon, and on its ferocious face, six blood-red eyes opened simultaneously, exuding a fierce might that made heaven and earth tremble!
However, this was not the most terrifying thing; everyone looked at the cultivation on Shi Yue's body, and their eyes were filled with shock.
"Quasi-Emperor Realm... he broke through!!"
Shadow Slaughter's expression changed drastically, and the black dagger in his hand trembled unconsciously.
"Human Race, you... all must die!"
There was not much clarity left in Shi Yue's eyes, only boundless, furious murderous madness.
The first to bear the brunt... was Ji Wuming!
Facing the newly breakthrough Shi Yue, he no longer had any space to avoid his Edge, and could only brace himself and charge forward.
The Nine Yang Refining Sky Sword erupted with a light even more dazzling than the sun, carrying all of his power as he slashed towards Shi Yue, who was in the midst of his breakthrough: "Die for me!!!"
"Clang—!"
A deafening clang of metal echoed through heaven and earth.
Shi Yue merely raised an arm covered in purple scales, easily blocking the world-destroying sword strike.
He slowly turned his head, his six blood-red eyes simultaneously locking onto Ji Wuming, and a cruel arc formed at the corner of his mouth: "Little grasshopper, you had a good time hitting me just now."
"Now it's my turn!!"
"Pfft—!"
Without even seeing the movement clearly, Ji Wuming's chest suffered an extremely violent attack.
The young man immediately spat out blood, and his entire body flew backward, smashing into the ground and creating a bottomless pit. Countless human cultivators nearby died from the aftermath.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Ji Wuming suffered a humiliating defeat, Destiny Points decreased by 10000 points]
"How... is this possible..."
Ji Wuming, who had just been in the upper hand, was defeated by the newly breakthrough Quasi-Emperor Shi Yue in one move!
The chasm between the Immortal Platform and the Quasi-Emperor Realm was now fully displayed before the eyes of the Three Thousand Dao Domains cultivators; this was not something that could be compensated by relying on a human wave tactic!
Fear spread completely
//416///
Chapter 416: The End of the Road
High in the sky, Shi Yue's eyes no longer held any flicker of emotion as he effortlessly crushed the vermin that had just wantonly slaughtered his clansmen.
He looked towards the Human Race cultivators, the bloodthirsty rage in his eyes becoming even more unrestrained!
At this moment, the Quasi-Emperor pressure, which should not have appeared on the Ancient Continent, weighed heavily on everyone's souls like substantial leaden clouds.
The air was as viscous as a swamp, each breath bringing a searing pain that felt like it was tearing the lungs.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Human Race seemed to have received unprecedented encouragement, fighting with increasing frenzy and recklessness.
For a time, under the influence of the terrifying aura, the Human Race began to retreat steadily.
"No… no…"
A Great Power Realm cultivator's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, a wet stain instantly spreading beneath him.
The longsword in his hand clanged to the ground, its blade reflecting his face, twisted with extreme fear.
In the face of life and death, even high-level cultivators were equally vulnerable.
"Run! Run quickly!!"
Someone let out a sharp, desperate shriek, like igniting a fuse.
The Human Race cultivators, who had been barely holding on, had their psychological defenses completely crumble!
Xiantai Realm cultivators could still barely resist the pressure, but weaker cultivators had already been scared out of their wits, throwing away their armor and weapons, screaming like ants scalded by boiling water, fleeing towards the outside of the inner world.
The Ji Family family's few members rushed frantically towards the deep pit created by their Young Master, hastily pulling the unconscious young man out of it.
"Thinking of escaping now?!"
"Too late!!"
Shi Yue sneered, looking at the Three Thousand Dao Domains Human Race cultivators scattering and fleeing, his heart filled with an incomparable joy!
Below him, the roars of the Heavenly Human Race warriors were like surging waves, instantly engulfing the chaotic crowd!
"Kill—!"
Xu Han's eyes were blood-red, her face a mix of fervent adoration for Shi Yue and deep-seated hatred for the Human Race.
Her massive bone hammer, wrapped in the sound of wind and thunder, smashed down with a boom!
A protective pagoda conjured by a Xiantai Realm cultivator attempting to organize a defense lasted only half a breath before it, along with its owner, was smashed into a shower of blood and gore!
"Clear the way for Xiao Shi Tou, kill all these outsiders!!"
On the other side, several equally tall Heavenly Human Race elders joined forces, their bodies surging with purple light, like moving mountains, brutally crashing into the collapsing crowd.
Wherever they passed, bones shattered, muscles tore, and screams shook the heavens!
The sword formations and talisman barriers hastily set up by the Human Race cultivators were as fragile as paper under the absolute power and fearless charge.
The defeat was like a landslide!
Once the morale supporting an army collapsed, the remaining people would be like a disorganized mob.
Among the crowd, the figures of Di Wuchen, Shadow Slaughter, Luoshui Fairy, Chen Yu, Emperor Wuque, and others had already vanished; these Heavenly Talents of top forces had already used the life-saving methods given by their clans to leave the moment the disaster began and Ji Wuming was defeated.
Those who remained here were merely Heavenly Talents from forces whose status and position were not strong enough.
Reality was this cruel; it was said that wealth was found in danger, but compared to truly top-tier talents, the results of their trial and error were simply immeasurable.
If not for the Heavenly Destiny Daughter, it would be almost impossible for truly exceptional Heavenly Talents to emerge completely from the bottom in the Three Thousand Dao Domains!
Blood stained the shattered earth, and severed limbs flew everywhere.
Heavenly Human Race warriors stepped over the corpses of their own kind and the Human Race, frantically slaughtering every enemy in sight.
Shi Qingwu looked at Gu Yun, who remained unmoving in the crowd, and anxiously said, "Gu Yun, this fellow has broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm; he's not someone we can deal with."
"Let's go quickly!"
In her arms, Yao Qingli's consciousness gradually stirred awake at this moment. She looked around blankly, recalling that she had been in a magnificent palace just before. Now, she opened her eyes again, and how had she fallen into such a living hell?
This scene felt like a world away; the young girl rubbed her eyes repeatedly.
"Yun Valley, what happened?"
Yun Valley…
Shi Qingwu paused slightly, silently repeating the name in her mind.
"You're finally awake."
Gu Yun's lips curved into a smile, but his tone, in Shi Qingwu's eyes, was so gentle.
[Ding! Heavenly Destiny Daughter Shi Qingwu has generated jealousy, rewarding 1000 Villain Points]
[Ding! Heavenly Destiny Daughter Qin Qing霜 has generated jealousy, rewarding 1000 Villain Points]
Good, good, good, two birds with one stone.
Gu Yun was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression remained calm.
"No time to explain."
"If we let this guy continue his wanton slaughter, all the cultivators of the Three Thousand Dao Domains will perish here. Since Qingli is already awake, I have nothing to worry about."
With that, Gu Yun placed Yao Qingli into Shi Qingwu's embrace.
"Miss Qingwu, please take care of this fool."
Shi Qingwu looked bewildered. "Bro, what the heck are you doing?"
"You've been carrying her all this way, and now that she's finally awake, you want me, your love rival, to take care of her?"
"Get it straight, this Immortal Maiden and this little girl are love rivals, love rivals!!"
[Ding! Heavenly Destiny Daughter Shi Qingwu has generated anger, rewarding 1000 Villain Points]
[Ding! Heavenly Destiny Daughter Qin Qing霜 has generated anger, rewarding 1000 Villain Points]
Good, good, good, a triangle indeed has stability.
Gu Yun was satisfied. As for what choice Shi Qingwu would make, he wasn't worried at all. In short, as long as she wanted the progress bar to move, she had to follow his instructions!
"What do you want to do?"
Shi Qingwu reluctantly hugged Yao Qingli, looking at Gu Yun with some concern.
"Yun Valley, don't go alone; it's very dangerous…"
Yao Qingli also looked full of worry.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Gu Yun smiled, then resolutely turned around. His gaze met the bloodthirsty and berserk eyes of Shi Yue, whose lips curved into a terrifyingly ferocious smile.
"Boy, why aren't you running?"
"Those guys are running faster than each other; I didn't expect you to stay."
He flashed, appearing beside Gu Yun.
His speed was so fast that almost no one present could see him clearly.
"Gu Yun!!"
Qin Qing霜's heart tightened. No matter how heaven-defying Gu Yun was, Shi Yue was a Quasi-Emperor now, and the difference in spiritual cultivation between Gu Yun and him was a chasm. If anyone in the Three Thousand Dao Domains said Gu Yun could win, they would probably be a little fangirl who hadn't cultivated and only looked at faces.
A Great Power fighting a Quasi-Emperor?
What kind of international joke was that?!
"Qingshuang, one last favor."
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Qin Qing霜's ear. The young girl's pupils suddenly constricted, and her face became blank and bewildered.
"Gu Yun, you…"
"Take them away, okay…?"
"I'll buy you time."
Gu Yun spoke with a smile, without any psychological burden, as if he wasn't facing a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse at this moment.
"Take who away?"
"Those two sluts?"
"No… everyone!"
As Gu Yun's voice fell, he looked at Shi Yue: "A battle in the sky."
"Good, that's exactly what I intended. I want to see how much skill the Human Race Heavenly Talent who instantly killed me before still possesses!"
Shi Yue laughed loudly. Infested by devilishness, he now appeared even more insane!
//417//
Chapter 417: The Battle Between Women
As the two figures ascended into the void, the cultivators of both races, who were currently in a chaotic battle, seemed to freeze.
They hadn't expected that in such a desperate moment, someone would still be willing to step forward and buy time for everyone!
"Emperor Child, it's the Gu Family Emperor Child!"
Someone recognized Gu Yun's identity, and they all became fanatical.
"Gu Family Emperor Child is mighty!"
"This is great, the Emperor Child has made his move! We are saved!"
The enthusiastic roars, like a mountain tsunami, were like a torch suddenly lit in the swamp of despair, instantly igniting the last bit of morale in the surviving human cultivators!
Countless gazes, filled with the hope of surviving a desperate situation and almost blind adoration, were fixed on the figure suspended high in the sky, facing the quasi-Emperor demonic might.
It was as if as long as he was there, the shadow of death that obscured the sky might be torn apart!
"Gu Yun… Gu Yun…?"
Amidst the chaos, Yao Qingli suddenly broke free from Shi Qingwu's embrace and staggered to her feet.
The color drained from her beautiful face, leaving only a horrified paleness, as if her soul had been heavily struck by an invisible hammer!
Her bright eyes, which once reflected Yun Valley's gentle smile, were now wide, her pupils trembling violently, almost tearing apart!
Yun Valley? The one who extended a helping hand when she was most helpless, accompanied her all the way, and even stirred her heart?
It's Gu Yun?!
Is it the cold-hearted Gu Family Emperor Child who snatched her Innate Dao Bone, regarded human lives as grass, bullied men and women, and committed all sorts of evil deeds?!
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible…"
Yao Qingli's voice trembled. This absurd truth, like the most vicious curse, instantly shattered all of Yao Qingli's understanding!
Looking at Gu Yun again, Yun Valley and the portrait she saw in the Ziwei Imperial Dynasty Imperial Palace seemed to overlap.
The same, completely the same, but why couldn't she recognize him?!
Fragments of their past interactions flashed wildly in her mind, their faces gradually overlapping. Yao Qingli felt as if her heart had been tightly clutched by an invisible hand, making it impossible to breathe from the pain.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shi Qingwu came to Yao Qingli's side. She was quite concerned about this task Gu Yun had given her.
"What are they saying?"
"Gu Yun? Yun Valley is Gu Yun?"
"How is that possible, how is that possible…"
Yao Qingli showed a tragic smile, repeating her words endlessly.
Shi Qingwu felt very strange in her heart, not understanding what had happened, and even less understanding why this girl, whom Gu Yun had always held in his arms, seemed to still not know his true identity.
At this point, she was in a dilemma, struggling with whether or not to tell Yao Qingli the truth.
She didn't care what Yao Qingli would think after knowing the truth; her main concern was not being able to gauge Gu Yun's attitude. If he didn't want his identity to be exposed and then got angry with her, wouldn't she be finished?
But now, he was the one who had jumped out to show off, leading to the current situation, and she had to deal with the problem, which was really difficult.
"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and say Yun Valley is not Gu Yun, he isn't…"
"They might just look alike."
"Yes…"
Shi Qingwu seemed to have found a breakthrough. It was better to let Gu Yun handle things himself; her main goal was to show that she tried.
"He is Gu Yun."
"My fiancé."
"The one who took your Dao Bone. From beginning to end, there's no doubt about it."
But just then, a cold voice sounded in the ears of the two women.
Shi Qingwu's prepared words were now stuck in her mouth; she couldn't utter a single word.
"Qin Qing霜, what are you doing? You and Emperor Child His Highness are no longer related!"
Shi Qingwu said through gritted teeth.
Qin Qing霜 chuckled lightly: "No longer related?"
"Are you saying the Immortal Ancient Qin Family and the Immortal Ancient Gu Family's hundreds of millions of years of friendship are gone?"
"Or is it the twenty years of childhood friendship between Gu Yun and me that are gone?"
"Even if the engagement is canceled, he and I still had a beautiful memory, didn't we?"
"We occupied each other's childhood, were each other's best playmates, supported each other, relied on each other, and…"
"Oh, please, you two snot-nosed kids know nothing about feelings."
Shi Qingwu pouted.
"What did you say…"
Qin Qing霜's eyes became dangerous.
"You two stop, what did you just say, woman?!"
Yao Qingli suddenly turned her head, staring fixedly at Qin Qing霜.
Qin Qing霜 met her almost man-eating gaze, the curve of her lips cold and clear: "What, he is Gu Yun, what, you still don't dare to believe this fact?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Where would there be so many people with unknown backgrounds and extraordinary talents in the Three Thousand Dao Domains?"
"He, all this way…"
"No, not that…"
"You said, he is your… fiancé?!"
Yao Qingli asked through gritted teeth.
Qin Qing霜's expression froze in place, then she responded noncommittally: "Naturally, we are childhood sweethearts, grew up wearing the same pair of pants. This engagement was set by our elders, the kind both parents agreed to, you know."
Qin Qing霜 couldn't even tell what her purpose was for coming over now, as if she had been possessed by Little Qing Shuang, and just felt incredibly good about showing off.
"No, no, we…"
Realizing her slip of the tongue, she wanted to make amends.
But the two women in front of her were already trembling slightly, clearly unwilling to listen to anything more.
"He is your fiancé?"
"How can you be? You're so cold, you look like everyone owes you money, and you clearly aren't easy to get along with."
"You say childhood sweethearts, but in reality, your feelings might just be so-so. Yun Valley probably only reluctantly agreed to this marriage out of respect for the elders."
"As far as I know, the marriage alliance between the Immortal Ancient Qin Family and the Immortal Ancient Gu Family should have been canceled. For Miss Qin to say this, I'm afraid she still has some lingering thoughts. Are you here to threaten us now?"
"Oh, so scary."
In a flash, very quickly, Yao Qingli and Shi Qingwu united their front and cornered Qin Qing霜.
"You, you two…"
Qin Qing霜 was so angry she could barely speak, but in front of these two, she absolutely refused to admit defeat, so she also blushed and began to argue.
"Hey, it seems your backyard is on fire."
"Do you want to go back and persuade them? I'll wait for you here."
Shi Yue looked at Gu Yun, who was ready for battle, a confident smile spreading across his lips. He reveled in the feeling of having everything under control and was willing to give Gu Yun, an opponent he recognized, some free space.
Gu Yun, whose head was being bombarded by the system to the point of becoming an idiot, no longer had time to think about so much.
He just looked at Shi Yue: "There's no need for this anymore. Tell your people to stop."
"The more they kill now, the more I will definitely kill back after I defeat you. It's meaningless."
///418//
Chapter 418 Hero (Two in One)
"Make my people stop?"
Shi Yue's massive demonic body floated in the sky, his six blood-red eyes looking down at the two clans' cultivators, who were fighting in a chaotic swarm like ants. A cruel, playful smile spread across his lips.
His confidence was overflowing.
"Gu Yun, are you telling me what to do?"
"Now that I have achieved the Half-God Realm, you cannot stop me."
The tables have turned. The Heavenly Human Race's humiliation of billions of years, living in obscurity, will be thoroughly washed away today with the blood of these human ants!
All the human cultivators trapped on this Ancient Continent are the first bloody "gift" Shi Yue will present to the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains!
"Today, everyone must die!" His massive demonic claw, carrying a destructive intent, slammed down towards the chaotic battlefield below. "Including you—Gu Yun!!"
Listening to the desperate wails of human cultivators before their deaths was the most melodious victory anthem to him.
His six blood-red eyes locked onto the tiny figure opposite him, and a tyrannical Quasi-Emperor demonic might, like billions of ancient divine mountains, pressed down!
Space groaned under the unbearable pressure, and distorted ripples visibly spread out.
"Gu Yun! Put away your ridiculous pity!" Shi Yue's voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable arrogance and disdain. "The battle between us is a clash of destinies! It is the judgment of this cage's ultimate ownership! The lives and deaths of these ants are not worthy of affecting this grand feast!"
Behind him, a blurry, eight-armed demonic god phantom slowly solidified in the void, exuding a ferocious aura that made heaven and earth tremble.
"Unleash all your power! Let me see if you, this opponent favored by Heavenly Destiny, are truly worthy of standing before me!"
His roar was like a giant axe splitting heaven and earth, shaking the entire sky. In Shi Yue's eyes, Gu Yun should be the so-called Chosen One of the human race in this era!
Mere Quasi-Emperor Realm could affect the barriers of this space. After the erosion of time, the remaining power here was indeed not much.
Gu Yun saw through everything and had long made his plans. Many of his methods could not be displayed in front of others.
Now, with the human race's morale scattered, he could gain the greatest benefit from it.
What the Gu Family wanted was dominion, not just absolute supremacy beyond the mundane, but also unshakeable authority that brooks no dissent.
These things could not be achieved solely through strength.
The reason why his Second Uncle, Gu Changge, endlessly hunted those monsters in the forbidden zone was not just to satisfy his own desire for slaughter, but also to point this sharpest butcher's knife of the Three Thousand Dao Domains outwards!
Currently, although the Gu Family's foundation was strong, there was no one who could truly lead the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
From ancient times to the present, countless astonishingly talented individuals had failed to break through the restrictions of the immortal lock, and Gu Yun did not think it would be an easy task to accomplish with his own strength alone.
What he had to do now was to use the power of everyone, not just the system and himself, but also the hundreds of billions of living beings in the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
Slaughter was always a means, never an end.
"Heavenly Meteor!"
Before him, Shi Yue no longer wished to waste words. The six crimson lights in his demonic eyes, like the core of a hellish furnace, suddenly brightened to their extreme!
He fiercely clenched his massive demonic claw in the air!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The sky of the entire Ancient Continent cage was instantly dyed a oppressive purplish-black!
Innumerable burning meteors, each as large as a mountain and engulfed in destructive demonic flames, appeared out of thin air, as if dragged from the depths of the universe by an invisible giant hand!
They were dense, obscuring the sky and sun!
Twisted runes flowed across the surface of each meteor, exuding a terrifying aura that could incinerate space and annihilate laws!
The meteors frictionally screamed against the atmosphere, dragging long purplish-black tails of flame, tearing the entire sky into fragments!
Such power indeed lived up to the name Heavenly Meteor.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Human Race had already withdrawn from the battlefield, avoiding collateral damage from Shi Yue's attack.
Although the young man did not agree to Gu Yun's request, it ended up, by a twist of fate, becoming a similar result.
Innumerable human cultivators were enveloped by the meteor shower, and terror flashed in their eyes.
The fear of death enveloped everyone. These cultivators, who held considerable status in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, probably never imagined that one day they would be wantonly massacred by an alien race in such a manner.
Qin Qing霜 and the others had ceased their argument, looking up at the sky with apprehension.
Shi Yue was a Quasi-Emperor, and with the support of all Heavenly Human Race cultivators, his strength was not merely that of a first-level Quasi-Emperor.
The gap between them was like a chasm; no one could resist head-on. The only option was to escape in advance.
Although the surrounding space was extremely unstable, even the methods left by Quasi-Emperor experts could not escape to safety.
However, they all had the backing of Great Emperor experts from their respective forces, allowing them to advance or retreat, so they weren't as terrified.
It was just that Gu Yun was at the center of the storm, bearing the brunt, and the scene was incredibly heart-wrenching.
"Gu Yun, you don't have to fight him head-on. Wait until we get out and lock down all exits of the Ancient Continent."
"A Great Emperor's intervention can annihilate the Heavenly Human Race."
"There's no need to fight here."
Out of humanitarianism and her relationship with the Gu Family, Qin Qing霜 still spoke to remind him. Before everything was ready, she would not turn against Gu Yun.
"What about these people?"
Gu Yun's voice transmission was calm and unruffled, yet it was like a cold silver needle, piercing through the last layer of self-comfort in Qin Qing霜's chaotic thoughts, catching her off guard.
She suddenly looked up, staring intently at the white figure standing tall in the shadow of the world-ending meteors, an expression of undisguised shock and bewilderment appearing on her face for the first time.
"You, what did you say?"
"I said, what about these ordinary cultivators of the Three Thousand Dao Domains?"
"If you and I leave, they will only have the path of being completely slaughtered."
Boom!
Qin Qing霜 felt as if her brain had been violently struck by an invisible heavy object, buzzing loudly.
No, what was he saying?!!
The Gu Yun who had unhesitatingly pierced his own heart with a divine spear could actually say such words?
That Gu Family Emperor Child who regarded rules as playthings and human lives as ants?!
Absurd!
A tremendous sense of absurdity, tinged with sharp irony, instantly overwhelmed her.
A bitter, almost extreme smile appeared at her pale lips, then vanished without a trace, leaving only the excruciating pain of her heart being repeatedly torn apart.
She looked at the white-robed figure about to be swallowed by the destructive storm, feeling it was incredibly dazzling.
Why?! Why can you protect these strangers who have nothing to do with you, yet you are so heartless towards me?!
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"You can't protect everyone; that guy has already achieved Quasi-Emperor."
"You can't withstand such a large-scale attack."
"Who says it's impossible?"
Gu Yun chuckled. To everyone's shocked gaze, he raised his hand and spread it, and a massive protective barrier fully opened, to the astonishment of all.
All those world-ending meteors crashed into the barrier created by Gu Yun, sparking bursts of fire, but they were all nullified by some power.
Deafening, terrifying explosions instantly swept through the entire space, and the cheers of the Heavenly Human Race cultivators abruptly ceased.
"Myriad Transformation Power!"
Qin Qing霜 exclaimed. This terrifying power, which had haunted her like a nightmare, now seemed to have become a warm haven protecting everyone.
The extreme contrast left Qin Qing霜 in a trance, her expression blank. Scenes from her past and present flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, and the persistence in the young girl's heart seemed to be completely touched at that moment.
"I told you, Gu Yun Gege is Gu Yun Gege. He is a great hero, and he could never be as you described."
"You bastard, you've ruined everything for yourself, and now you want to ruin my life too?"
Little Qing Shuang's voice was deafening, striking at the core of her being.
"No, it's not like that, no, impossible, how could this be…"
Qin Qing霜 fell into an endless self-inflicted shock. This Gu Yun, before her, was completely different from the one she had seen in her previous life.
What exactly happened to cause such a drastic change in him later on?
Qin Qing霜 didn't understand; she wanted to figure out everything.
[Ding! Heavenly Destiny Daughter Qin Qing霜's desire for revenge has been strongly shaken, Heavenly Destiny Value decreased by 20000 points.]
Many cultivators, having survived the calamity, looked up at the scene in the sky with shock. Gu Yun's Xiantai Realm body now appeared so mighty.
For the sake of everyone, he was willing to fight a Quasi-Emperor alone, even if it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, even if it was overestimating his own strength.
Such magnanimity formed a stark contrast with Di Wuchen and others who had already fled.
At this moment, everyone sincerely began to support this Gu Family Emperor Child.
In his position, he performs his duties!
What countless people hoped for was nothing more than a leader who dared to take the lead, and Gu Yun demonstrated this with his actions.
"Emperor Child His Highness, he really blocked it."
"To resist a Quasi-Emperor with a Xiantai Realm body, perhaps such an outrageous existence has never appeared in the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains, not even the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor could compare."
Countless people developed an unprecedented admiration for Gu Yun. At this moment, the young man's existence seemed to become a totem; as long as he existed, he could give everyone endless strength.
"Heh heh, such a large-scale protective barrier, you want to protect everyone?"
Shi Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Gu Yun. The other party's attitude towards the human race seemed to be the same as his attitude towards the Heavenly Human Race.
But unfortunately, both sides had been on opposing sides from the very beginning.
The best outcome he could give Gu Yun now was to send him to his death!
This was his greatest respect for a fellow practitioner!
"Too bad, you can't stop it!!"
Red light suddenly surged in Shi Yue's eyes, and his power instantly increased threefold. Although dealing with a mere Great Power Realm cultivator shouldn't require such seriousness.
But he was willing to give Gu Yun the greatest respect in sending him off!
"Pfft—!!"
Gu Yun coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, as if he had been struck hard in the chest by an invisible giant hammer.
"Emperor Child His Highness!!"
Countless cultivators felt anxious for Gu Yun.
"Empress, should we do something?"
The Qin Family members were also anxious. Although there had been conflicts before, those were merely struggles for opportunities. The Qin Family and the Gu Family were fundamentally old friends, and usually helped each other when outside, especially in situations facing an external race.
"I…"
Qin Qing霜 was about to speak when she suddenly heard an exclamation by her ear.
"Look, it's a teleportation passage!!!"
Everyone looked over sharply and indeed saw a massive teleportation passage appear before their eyes.
At this moment, it was like water to people in the desert, their last straw of hope.
"Go!"
Gu Yun turned around. Even though blood was already spilling from the corner of his mouth, he spoke with unwavering determination.
He supported the sky with one hand, maintaining the already precarious giant protective barrier, while forming hand seals with the other, making the light of the teleportation passage grow even more intense.
This scene brought a tremendous impact to everyone.
"No…"
Some people felt a surge of emotion, as if infected by Gu Yun, but they were swallowed by the surging crowd, forced into the spatial teleportation passage.
With a chance to live before them, those who were hot-blooded were ultimately a minority. More were normal people who wanted to live, driven by the thought of not letting Gu Yun's efforts go to waste.
"You…"
Shi Qingwu, Yao Qingli, and Qin Qing霜 were all bewildered. At this moment, they felt as if their recent contention was like that of clowns.
"Yun Valley, I'll help you!"
Yao Qingli was still accustomed to calling Gu Yun "Yun Valley." Thinking about it now, it seemed a bit ridiculous—Gu Yun, Yun Valley, it was just a change in order, and he hadn't even concealed his appearance, yet she simply hadn't recognized him. It was truly laughable.
Having considered this greatest enemy, who had taken her Dao Bone, as the only person she could rely on and journeyed with him for so long, Yao Qingli's heart was still filled with mixed emotions.
But she understood more clearly now that Gu Yun's actions were for the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains. Regardless of what he had been before, at least now, she had to help him!
But…
"I told you to go, what are you hesitating for?!!!"
Gu Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled slightly, clearly already pushed to his limit.
The three women were about to act when they suddenly felt a tremendous force envelop them.
Then, they were directly thrown into the spatial passage.
"Gu Yun, you bastard!!"
Qin Qing霜 and the others were caught off guard and only managed to utter such a curse. In their last glimpse, they saw the transparent barrier protecting the world shatter with a crash.
The entire space seemed to have left only Gu Yun alone within it.
"Damn it…"
Shi Qingwu cursed, was all her effort to be for naught?
"Gu Yun, you must hold on."
Rules are meant to be broken. The Ancient Continent seemed mysterious, but in reality, it was just a trial ground that various major forces tacitly acknowledged. Shi Qingwu secretly decided that once she left this place, she would immediately report to her elders to rescue Gu Yun.
This world couldn't do without Gu Yun!
"Heh, everyone's gone, leaving just you here?"
"I didn't expect you, the Emperor Child, to be quite selfless, huh?"
Looking at Gu Yun, who was covered in wounds and seemed to be at the end of his rope, Shi Yue couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.
He hadn't expected his full-strength attack to actually be blocked by Gu Yun. His first battle after advancing to Quasi-Emperor was so embarrassing.
"You ruined my battle of fame, how do you think I should deal with you?"
Shi Yue looked at Gu Yun, his demonic eyes churning with rage.
"Oh, that depends on your ability."
Gu Yun chuckled, his aura suddenly returning to its peak, appearing not to have consumed even a bit of energy.
//419//
Chapter 419 A fatal blow (more)
In an instant, a chill rose in Shi Yue's heart.
As if destiny itself was giving a warning to his precious son in this place, he became somewhat outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, sneering, "Heh heh, your strange transparent shield has already been broken by me, and your spiritual power is almost completely depleted. What do you have left to fight me with?!!!"
He didn't understand why Gu Yun could still maintain such confidence.
The disparity between them was obvious, not just in strength, but also in the countless Heavenly Human Race family members standing behind him.
Gu Yun had no one behind him, isolated and helpless; he had long fallen into a dead end!
But now… watching Gu Yun's aura continue to rise, Shi Yue's Adam's apple bobbed, almost rendering him speechless.
"Shi Yue, why are you still wasting words with him!"
"This guy is just a cornered beast fighting back; quickly kill him! Once the Great Emperors of the Human Race outside discover our situation here, the Heavenly Human Race's situation will be dangerous!"
Below, for some unknown reason, Shi Yue's movements froze in place.
It was just a single Heavenly Meteor, and Shi Yue, who had already broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, couldn't possibly have only that much strength.
Xu Han was a bit anxious and quickly spoke to persuade him.
However, her words were locked onto by Gu Yun.
[xuan qing treasure mirror Page 90]
[Name: Xu Han]
[Age: 150]
[Favorability: -60]
[Physique: Zi Ling Divine Body]
[Cultivation: Great Saint Realm Early Stage]
[Identity: "Lord of Heavenly Human Race Female Lead]
A female lead of destiny, huh? Gu Yun scanned this burly woman up and down, feeling a bit speechless.
Good heavens, this xuan qing treasure mirror is also a superficial one. She's the only female lead of Shi Yue, a high-quality Child of Destiny, so logically her Destiny Value shouldn't be low, yet she was directly ranked 90th. What a character.
Moreover, his supreme charm had no effect on her. It seems this thing still has racial barriers and isn't entirely omnipotent.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Am I for you to look at, old lady?"
Seeing Gu Yun staring at her, Xu Han bristled a bit. The three-meter-long, grotesque bone hammer in her hand slammed heavily onto the ground, cracking it with a loud boom. "Don't you want your eyes?!"
Shi Yue's expression also turned slightly grim, staring intently at Gu Yun: "Gu Yun, you're on the verge of death and still thinking about such things. With your small physique, don't even dream of gaining my Han Mei's favor."
Gu Yun was stunned, then smiled speechlessly: "That's great, it's a deal, double happiness!"
"Bastard!!"
The mockery and ridicule in the young man's words deeply pierced Xu Han's heart. She swung her bone hammer and charged directly forward, vowing to smash this rude human into a pulp!
"Die—!!"
Xu Han's roar was accompanied by a piercing, air-splitting shriek!
That three-meter-long, white bone heavy hammer, covered in grotesque bone spurs, erupted with dazzling purple light under the impetus of her furious brute force. The space where the hammerhead swept past was visibly pressed into black creases!
Its target was directly above Gu Yun's head!
This strike contained all of her Great Saint Early Stage cultivation and racial brute force!
The speed was extreme! Shi Yue didn't even have time to speak and stop her!
Below, countless Heavenly Human Race warriors' eyes erupted with bloodthirsty delight, as if they had already seen the tragic scene of this pretentious Human Race Imperial Son's brains splattering.
No one believed Gu Yun had any strength, and the scene of him being crushed by Shi Yue just now further boosted these guys' confidence.
Human Race, nothing more than this!
Under Xu Han's bone hammer, there was no chance of survival!
However—
Gu Yun didn't even bother to lift his head. From beginning to end, his gaze was fixed on Shi Yue, and an unsettling aura faintly lingered around him.
"Perhaps you've misunderstood something."
"From beginning to end, my goal was only to make them leave, and not to resist attacks from someone!"
The young man raised a finger, long, fair, and flawless.
Pointing in Xu Han's direction, spatial ripples gently spread out. Shi Yue's pupils suddenly constricted, and the sense of unease in his heart reached its peak at this moment.
"Han Mei, dodge!!"
He cried out urgently, but it was too late.
A sword light streaked from his fingertip, carrying the terrifying might of Minor Accomplishment Sword Dao, and collided with the massive white bone war hammer that tore through space with a thunderous crash.
Boom crack!!!!
An ear-splitting, soul-shaking explosion rang out!
That divine hammer, which the Heavenly Human Race had spent countless years and effort to refine and was said to be comparable to a Quasi-Imperial Weapon, actually shattered with a loud boom under Gu Yun's attack, like the most fragile glass creation!
Countless fragments stained with purple-black energy scattered, piercing Xu Han's body full of holes!
The sword light swept through, directly piercing Xu Han's body.
As if encountering no obstruction, it blasted a small pit in the ground, only a few feet square, but bottomless.
"Han Mei!!!"
Shi Yue roared mournfully, unable to believe such a scene was unfolding before his eyes.
His body rapidly darted forward, wanting to catch the falling body of the young woman.
But a huge furnace had already risen in the high sky. Feeling an incomparably terrifying pressure assailing them, all the Heavenly Human Race cultivators present were filled with fear, looking up at the sky in disbelief, their bodies stiff. Everything the Human Race cultivators had experienced earlier, they were now feeling the same.
Before Shi Yue could grasp Xu Han's body, her purple body was suddenly dragged away by the violent suction of the heaven and earth furnace!
"No!!!"
Shi Yue roared, rushing forward in a hurry.
"It's not your turn yet, get lost."
Gu Yun appeared and directly landed a kick on Shi Yue's abdomen. The enormous purple body, caught off guard, was struck by a violent force, causing his body to stagger back two steps.
"A Quasi-Emperor level Xuanhuang Undying Body, huh?"
"That's somewhat interesting."
Gu Yun smiled as he looked at the opponent, still at ease.
Shi Yue's face was incredibly contorted: "You bastard, what did you do to Han Mei?"
"Very simple, as you can see."
Gu Yun shrugged indifferently, pointing towards the sky.
Shi Yue looked up, only to see a scene that would haunt him for the rest of his life. He saw Xu Han suddenly freeze just as she was about to enter the heaven and earth furnace.
Before he could rejoice, her muscular and tough purple body, her skin covered with thick demonic armor, her main bones supporting her massive physique—exploded with a loud boom, turning into a massive, foul-smelling, viscous fireworks of flesh and blood mixed with purple-black bone powder and internal organ residue!!!
Then it was directly sucked into the heaven and earth furnace.
Shi Yue's expression instantly froze, his six pupils rapidly constricting to pinprick size. The entire world, at this moment, seemed to lose its sound.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for slaying the Child of Destiny's female lead Xu Han. The Child of Destiny Shi Yue's Destiny Value has decreased by 20,000 points. Great Luo Dao Pagoda Sixth Layer activation progress (119300/200000). Reward: Orange Treasure Chest * 1]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny Shi Yue is consumed by grief and indignation, wishing to kill the host without delay. Reward: 30,000 Villain Points]
Including the 50,000 Villain Points given by the three women earlier, Gu Yun's Villain Points finally returned to the level before he broke through to the Xiantai Realm.
He felt a surge of joy in his heart and, by the way, joked with Shi Yue: "I'm very sorry, her body was too big, so I could only use this method."
"But it was only for an instant, very quick, usually there won't be any feeling."
"Gu Yun!!! I ***, I'll f*** your mother!!"
"I'll kill you!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
It's just that Shi Yue seemed to… have no sense of humor.

Chapter 420: The Sorrow of Heaven and Man (Two in One)
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same; at this moment, Shi Yue had completely fallen into a state of madness, and Xu Han's death became the fuse that drove him completely insane.
The demonic seed that had been suppressed in his heart was now released without reservation; the process from its appearance to its complete eruption was too short, and everything was under Gu Yun's control.
Using a Child of Destiny to cultivate a demonic seed, and then devouring it with his own Myriad Transformation Power—this was Gu Yun's true purpose in scattering demonic seeds everywhere!
With his demonic bone and Myriad Transformation Power, he could act recklessly without worrying about the side effects of falling into madness like Shi Yue.
"Roar—!!"
Before him, amidst the shocked gazes of all the Heavenly Human Race members, Shi Yue's body became increasingly demonized, and his intertwined wings grew even more, becoming more sky-obscuring.
His six blood-red pupils were instantly swallowed by blood flames as thick as substance, and there was no longer any clarity in his eyes, only thorough madness and the true intent of slaughter.
On his massive demonic body, every purple-black scale wildly expanded, spewing out the foul demonic essence from the deepest abyss.
The Quasi-Emperor Realm he had just broken through was forcibly torn and overdrawn under the hatred that burned everything!
"Burn my demonic blood! Burn my true soul! Gu Yun—! I want you to fall into the endless purgatory!!!"
Shi Yue roared, abandoning all defense and discarding all reason.
Xu Han was dead, and he could no longer distinguish right from wrong; he now had only one goal: to utterly slay that bastard Gu Yun here!
His six demonic arms, covered in hideous bone spurs, swung wildly like colossal pillars, as if all the remaining spiritual power in the inner world was being drawn by him, including the blood qi emanating from countless Heavenly Human Race warriors and the lingering aura of the recently deceased cultivators from both races in the air.
Shi Yue utilized everything he could, his sole aim being to utterly destroy Gu Yun on the spot!
His six demonic claws were raised high, condensing a purple-black sphere of destructive light, compressed to the extreme, emitting power that caused space itself to melt and collapse!
The Child of Destiny, who should have controlled the profound and undying true intent, ever-flowing and inexhaustible, had, under Gu Yun's deliberate control, veered onto the completely opposite path of destruction. At this moment, Shi Yue was burning his life, burning his Dao foundation, burning everything he possessed!
He wanted to utterly erase Gu Yun and the very air he existed in!
"Six Hells—Demonic Lament!!!"
Amidst the shocked gazes of all the Heavenly Human Race, the purple-black light sphere instantly crossed space, smashing down towards Gu Yun's location with an utterly unavoidable speed!
"Oh no."
"Han Mei is dead, Xiao Shi Tou is a bit out of control."
Several Heavenly Human Race elders could only continuously retreat, trying to completely evade the destructive torrent from Shi Yue.
Space disintegrated inch by inch; the power unleashed by the young man was already approaching the fourth stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. This was his full-strength strike, a true killing move, bound to succeed!
Boom!
The purple-black light sphere was imbued with the supreme true intent of destroying everything; at this moment, Shi Yue had reached the introductory level on this great path.
The power it contained was enough to destroy all cultivators of the Xiantai Realm a thousand, even ten thousand times over.
Shi Yue, having unleashed this move, was panting, but his eyes remained fixed on Gu Yun; he wanted to watch, to watch this young man fall completely into boundless purgatory, utterly perish, and be buried with his Han Mei!
"Alas..."
Gu Yun shook his head slightly, still looking regretful in the face of the Six Hells Demonic Lament, which was powerful enough to blast ordinary Quasi-Emperors into dust.
He didn't even bother with the destructive light sphere approaching him, simply looking up at the young man suspended in the sky.
He spoke calmly and indifferently: "If you had accepted my earlier proposal, perhaps the outcome would have been better."
"After all, I also need people to help me with things."
Gu Yun said that he had considered taking Shi Yue, a Child of Destiny who was easily manipulated due to his weaknesses, for his own use.
He was different from Qin Xiang, Zhang Chen, and others.
As long as he held the Heavenly Human Race in his palm, he wouldn't worry about Shi Yue being disobedient.
Later, if he wanted to negotiate with the force that inherited the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, he might be able to use Shi Yue's power.
But unfortunately, he didn't have much brains.
Sometimes, foolish people cause more trouble than bad people. Letting Shi Yue stop was also giving him a space to calm down.
However, he didn't take that hint. Countless Human Race cultivators had all witnessed Shi Yue's madness and murderous intent. If he didn't kill him now and still wanted to use him, he would sooner or later become a ticking time bomb, making all his efforts during this period completely wasted.
Instead of wasting this time, it was better to continue searching for new solutions.
Speaking of which, Shi Qingwu was a good choice.
Gu Yun pondered his future plans as the purple-black light sphere landed on him.
Ancient and complex patterns emerged on Gu Yun's body; the ancient emperor armor passively activated, and that seemingly terrifying attack, in reality, caused not a shred of damage.
When the smoke and dust cleared, seeing Gu Yun still standing perfectly intact in place, everyone was utterly shocked, almost unable to believe their eyes, trembling all over and at a loss.
"No, impossible! I have already entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even Ji Wuming, who is at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, cannot withstand a casual strike from me."
"You, a mere Great Power Realm cultivator, how can you withstand my [Demonic Lament] completely unharmed?!"
Shi Yue's six blood-red pupils contracted violently; he was on the verge of questioning his life. On Gu Yun, the division of realms seemed to no longer exist.
Gu Yun smiled: "Xiao Shi Tou, when you're out in the world, you need to talk about power and background."
His ancient emperor armor still glowed with light; he was like a war god, walking step by step forward, and the violent purple-black energy, instead, seemed to open a path for him. His miraculous methods made everyone present drop their jaws.
Unbelievable, simply too unbelievable. There was no one so unbelievable in the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains.
Yet they had seen one today.
"Are you very good at fighting?"
"Then can you fight as well as a Great Emperor?"
"Breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm makes you complacent, forget yourself, and think you're invincible. You don't even qualify as a chess piece!"
Gu Yun's gaze instantly became incredibly captivating. The heaven and earth furnace activated, refining everything; it could even easily swallow Shi Yue's attacks!
The world suddenly became clear and bright.
However, a difficult-to-disperse gloom settled over the hearts of the Heavenly Human Race.
"Alright, Xiao Yun'er, stop playing. They're about to get close."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Gu Yun understood. Many forces had suffered great losses on the Ancient Continent, and Eternal Day Emperor and Xuanfeng Immortal Palace might come looking for trouble. The three divine sons of Thunderclap Immortal Palace were completely wiped out; it was probably the greatest loss in over a hundred million years.
Before entering this place, Gu Yun had already informed his second uncle to leave a clone to meet him.
Now that he had given the hint, it was likely that Shi Qingwu, Qin Qing霜, Yao Qingli, and other prodigies who had entered the Ancient Continent had already notified their elders.
"It's about time."
Gu Yun thought, not planning to waste any more time.
Shi Yue also made a decisive move; dragging his slightly weary body, he urgently ordered: "Run!"
"Everyone, run!!"
Mimicking Gu Yun, he also wanted to repeat his trick. With his cultivation in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he could barely manage to tear open space and create a teleportation passage.
Just as Shi Yue was about to do so, his expression suddenly froze for a moment: he couldn't tear it open?!
Why couldn't this space be broken open?!
As Gu Yun approached step by step, the panic within the Heavenly Human Race gradually spread and intensified.
"What is Xiao Shi Tou doing? Why isn't he opening the space passage to escape?"
"This guy is not someone we can deal with. We shouldn't have listened to this young hothead in the first place, talking about resisting the Human Race. We, the Heavenly Human Race, have been imprisoned for so many years; even producing a Quasi-Emperor is a luxury. How can we contend with the Human Race, which is currently at its peak? It's simply wishful thinking."
"Exactly! He spoke so well back then, and now he's led us into such a dangerous situation. Doesn't he, Shi Yue, feel even a shred of shame?!"
"Shut up!!"
A young, strong man sharply rebuked: "Brother Shi Yue is fighting for our entire Heavenly Human Race! Do you want to be trapped in this tiny place forever, forced to endure limited lifespans and unable to grow further?!"
"Er Niu, you and Shi Yue were the ones who incited us back then. We didn't want to resist at all."
"So what if our lifespan is limited? At least we can live well, right? Why insist on provoking the Human Race? You're simply seeking death!"
For a time, various voices of condemnation rose and fell, and Shi Yue's expression, as he tried to break open the spatial passage, grew increasingly gloomy and unsightly.
"Don't waste your effort. This space has been trapped by my Eight Gates Golden Lock Array. Even a Quasi-Emperor of the third heaven can't escape!"
"You just unleashed an attack, and now your spiritual power is severely depleted. You can't break open this space."
The tables had turned; the words Shi Yue had just spoken were now returned to him by Gu Yun, verbatim.
"You... Hmph, don't get carried away. You're just relying on your elders for support, and you have so many treasures. What's there to be proud of?"
Shi Yue snorted coldly.
"Sigh, why won't you listen no matter what I say?"
Gu Yun had already arrived behind Shi Yue. He amplified the panicked remarks from the Heavenly Human Race and let Shi Yue hear them. The young man's expression grew increasingly gloomy; hearing those words, his heart also ached. He clearly wanted everyone to live a good life, a free and unrestrained life where they could pursue the Great Dao. When he first spoke, everyone responded enthusiastically, promising to fight with him, so why were they now so disheartening?
"Did you hear that?"
"Your clansmen seem to have some differing opinions."
Gu Yun's voice was like a demonic sound piercing his ears. He wanted to destroy Shi Yue's Dao heart, to kill him, and he was just one step away: reducing the opponent's HP to below 10,000.
Now he had two choices.
One was to use his words, directly attacking the heart, to make Shi Yue's mentality explode.
The other was to kill all the Heavenly Human Race members, completely breaking him down in one fell swoop.
Gu Yun was a kind person who didn't like killing, so of course, he would try the first option first.
"So what?!"
"I, Shi Yue, have always acted as I please; why should I explain myself to others?!"
"Gu Yun! You coward, I just thought you were a man of backbone, but I didn't expect your actions to be so despicable."
"Since you possess such strength, why didn't you display it earlier, letting your Human Race suffer so many losses for nothing!"
Shi Yue exposed Gu Yun's hypocrisy in one sentence.
To this, Gu Yun was noncommittal. Who would truly care about life and death unless they were in danger?
Good deeds are for showing off.
Providing help in times of need is always more important than adding icing to the cake.
Gu Yun was never a good person from the start, so he wouldn't be swayed by Shi Yue's words.
"As you said, I, Gu Yun, have always acted as I please; why should I explain myself to others?!"
Gu Yun chuckled, repeating Shi Yue's words, leaving the young man speechless.
"Enough, I can't stand listening to what these guys are saying anymore, Brother Shi, let me clean your ears for you!"
Listening to the increasingly chaotic Heavenly Human Race army below, driven by panic, Gu Yun chuckled softly, then Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taowu appeared, trapping Shi Yue.
Since entering the Ancient Continent, the several divine beasts and fierce beasts, except for the Vermillion Bird, had returned from their search for opportunities and had all recovered to the Great Saint level.
The four beasts working together to suppress a severely weakened Shi Yue was still an easy task.
"What are you doing?"
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Shi Yue's heart.
He had thought that with his cultivation breakthrough, he could control everything, but it seemed fate had played a huge joke on him. In front of the young man, he was so helpless.
Was the Immortal Ancient Gu Family truly an insurmountable mountain?
Looking at the young man who turned and left, Shi Yue even had a delusion: although he didn't know why he had become tainted with demonic energy, this power had been the final push for him to achieve the Quasi-Emperor Realm, so he should have been the one destined by heaven. But he... haha, it seemed like he was the true Heavenly Demon.
Shi Yue gave a bitter laugh, shaking his head, but then his eyes became even more terrified.
"How is that possible?!"
He had thought Gu Yun only wanted to kill the Heavenly Human Race cultivators, and nothing more, but he didn't expect the young man to naturally raise both hands.
A flag rose from his palm, and the aura of death contained within it was thousands of times denser than his own demonic energy!
On the ground, the noisy sounds abruptly ceased. All the Heavenly Human Race cultivators, under the suction control of the heaven and earth furnace, were all absorbed into it.
That bastard Gu Yun was attacking indiscriminately.
Souls did not ascend into the void and disappear; instead, they spontaneously and naturally surged towards that small flag.
"You, you're using a soul-capturing technique?!"
Shi Yue's voice trembled: "Ah, ah, you bastard, isn't killing them enough? You want to deprive them of the chance to reincarnate?!"
A moment ago, he had actually felt some relief; if they died, they died, it was fine. They wouldn't be Heavenly Human Race in the next life.
But now, this most basic wish was also completely shattered by Gu Yun before his eyes.
Shi Yue was utterly desperate.
He was a sinner, a sinner to the entire Heavenly Human Race!
