Grandpa, times have changed.

Yes, Tian has realized what Gu wants to do.

After all, Tian knew perfectly well what Gu had done and what he had been pursuing all along.

For this reason, Gu even personally ended two great eras.

How could He possibly ignore such a great opportunity?

If Tian were in Gu's position, he would absolutely not have missed it.

It was precisely because Tian knew the cause and effect that he was so conflicted about what Gu would do next.

When He descended to earth and became the Cangzu, in order to prevent Gu from seizing the primordial phenomenon and ascending to that unfathomable and incomprehensible realm, He immediately eliminated the backup plan that Gu had left in the Cangzu's body.

After all, even if He obtained the essence of an acquired Daoist and broke free from the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao of the Tai Xuan Realm, He would still be no match for that level.

In the face of such an unfathomable and incomprehensible existence, everything else is meaningless.

He must have something wrong with his head to leave behind such a huge threat.

It is no exaggeration to say that from the moment He came into the world, the ancient plan could not be realized.

Unless one is too extreme or delusional, one would voluntarily strip away one's original intentions and give them to Him.

But the problem now is...

Gu had no idea that the backup plan He left when He created the Cang Clan had been erased by Him. He also believed that as long as Tai was severely injured by the Sword Ancestor, He could activate the hidden plan to seize Tai's original intention.

"..."

If you speak, Gu Tie will definitely turn against Him, and at that time, the Sword Ancestor might take the opportunity to escape.

But if we don't say anything, when Gu tries to seize the original intent later, he will definitely reveal a flaw, and the Sword Ancestor may take the opportunity to escape.

The saying "too single-mindedness leads to being blocked at both ends" perfectly describes the current situation.

Just as Tianxin was pondering this.

Inside the encirclement, Xu Xing had already cornered Tai.

Of course, Xu Xing himself wasn't much better off; their vital energy had both weakened to the extreme.

"It's a pity I couldn't have a fair fight with you."

Xuan sighed softly, but his attacks became even more ruthless!
With a single punch, it seemed as if the chaos of heaven and earth were reopened, and the creation of the primordial world was reenacted.

It encompasses all laws, condenses all paths, and contains the true meaning of all supernatural powers throughout history.

Huhu~
The world was left with only a bizarre and chaotic scene, with the vast purple aura pouring down like a celestial river, even suppressing the raging flames of the Dao to the point of near extinguishing!
The Great Mystery trembled, and the ancient domain collapsed!

"die!!!"

A crimson moon slowly rose, dimming even the sun!
Clang!
Like countless divine weapons being drawn from their sheaths at the same time, the crimson moon illuminates the heavens!
A terrifying crimson light pierced the heavens and the earth, with four colors intertwined upon it, yet it could not contain the unparalleled sharpness that shook the universe and obliterated the laws of nature!

Now is the time!

A glint flashed in Gu's eyes, and the seven-colored divine radiance surrounding the crimson light suddenly dimmed considerably.

A wave, existing in the darkness and difficult even for enlightened beings to detect, spread out, covering the entire Tai Xuan Realm in a fraction of a second.

however……

However, the expected situation did not occur.

The Cang Clan, who were supposed to become sacrifices to help Him seize the original intent, did not respond to this fluctuation.

The ecstasy in Gu's eyes froze, replaced by a hint of bewilderment.

what happened?

Why is there no response?

How could there be no response?!

It was in that moment of hesitation that the Four Ancestors' seal created a slight opening.

opportunity!

The crimson light that had stretched to the heavens and the earth suddenly condensed into a single line, breaking through the encirclement of the four patriarchs and disappearing into the horizon in an instant!

"Gu! What are you doing?!" Tai shouted angrily.

Xuan remained silent, but his expression was extremely unpleasant.

None of them expected that Gu would fail at such a crucial moment.

Tian's expression was quite subtle.

"I……"

Gu opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything, his face extremely gloomy.

"Humph!"

Tai was extremely angry, but he also knew that now was definitely not the time to argue with Gu.

"Tian, ​​you and I will pursue the Sword Ancestor. Xuan, you and Gu will defeat the Overlord."

The Sword Ancestor burned too much of his essence this time, and his injuries are even more severe than His own. Once he stops burning the Dao fire, he will probably be so weak that he will be weaker than even an ordinary True Immortal.

We must seize this opportunity to take him down, or the consequences will be dire!
“Okay,” Tian said calmly.

He saw things very clearly.

After what just happened, I'm so afraid I'll never be able to believe in Gu again.

As for Xuan, in Tai's eyes, he belongs to the kind who has just awakened, and is not particularly trustworthy.

On the other hand, He Himself is now seriously injured and is absolutely no match for the Overlord, let alone able to defeat the Overlord.

Why not let Xuan, whose combat power surpasses that of ordinary enlightened beings, defeat the Overlord and also take away Gu, whom He trusts the least?

“I understand,” Xuan Ye said solemnly.

After saying that, he looked at Gu.

"Let's go."

"..."

Gu dared not object and followed Xuan away.

But in the final moments before leaving, He couldn't help but glance at the sky.

The contingency plan He left behind when He created the Cang Clan should have been erased by Him, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Damn!

……

……

The Radiant Realm!
Dark clouds obscured the sky, and a fierce wind howled.

Boom!

Streaks of lightning, like thunder dragons, tore through the heavy veil of dark clouds, instantly illuminating the world as if it were daytime.

The torrential rain poured down like a thousand waterfalls.

An extremely dense and malevolent aura filled every inch of the void and was mixed in with every drop of rain.

Strands of crystal-clear sword light, as clear as autumn water, traversed the heavens and earth like bolts of silk, driving away evil and cleansing away malevolent energy.

At the center of those sword lights, which were as agile as swimming dragons, stood a tall and upright man in white.

He stood there amidst the raging rain, surrounded by sword energy, untouched by a trace of moisture.

Empty!

At this moment, Cheng Kong was gazing into the distance, his expression extremely solemn.

He had guessed that the Cang Clan would take some action, but he did not expect that the four ancestors of the Cang Clan would come out in full force.

They even disregarded the attacks on their master by the overlords in the various domains, determined to kill him...

Aside from clearing away the malevolent energy left behind by the battles between enlightened beings, he could change nothing.

At this thought, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart, and even his grip on the sword tightened.

Suddenly, Cheng Kong was taken aback.

But what they saw was a crimson sword light that shot out from the ancient domain and flew straight toward the Tai domain.

Its sharpness was unparalleled, yet it revealed a weakness, like a candle flame about to be extinguished.

He couldn't even maintain his status as an enlightened being, which even he could easily observe.

"Master?!"

Soon, several more Dongzhen arrived nearby, only to see several sword lights hovering in the sky, driving away evil spirits.

Cheng Kong himself has disappeared without a trace.

……

……

Taiyu.

Since the Overlord attacked this place first, the vast territory of the Taiyu has been turned into a dead land. Only within the Qingming Sea area, some of the Cang Clan survived.

The world was shrouded in mist, devoid of any sign of life.
Tiny dust particles float in the air, creating a hazy, gray landscape as far as the eye can see.

boom!
A crimson sword light fell like a meteor, stirring up boundless dust waves.

In the bottomless pit, Xu Xing's face was deathly pale, his hair was disheveled, and his once clear black and white eyes were now cloudy and bloodshot.

He held his sword and leaned against a relatively intact large rock.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed twice, and a few drops of fresh blood came out.

Even before it hit the ground, it turned black at a visible speed and eventually decayed and collapsed.

Fighting four opponents alone was still a bit too much for him. Even if he managed to break through, his injuries were already becoming uncontrollable.

It's a pity, a pity it was just a little short of success. Feeling the Dao energy flowing in the void, Xu Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It was just a split second off...

I didn't get to see my senior sister emerge from seclusion either.

With this thought flashing through his mind, he looked at the longsword in his hand.

This is the immortal weapon that has accompanied him for tens of thousands of years and grown alongside him to this day.

"I won't leave."

A calm yet remarkably firm voice echoed in his mind.

It was the moon's reflection.

Xu Xing forced a smile.

"Listen to me, don't act impulsively."

"..."

Moon Shadow responded with silence.

As the natal sword of a sword cultivator, how could it abandon its master and flee?

“My Dao endures, my body is immortal, temporary death has no effect on me.”

Those who attain enlightenment do not die so easily.

Given the abilities of the four ancestors of the Cang Clan, they could only keep him in hiding for a short period of time.

"Then I will accompany you."

"No, you have to go back and wait for me to come back."

As he spoke, he was about to temporarily seal its spirituality and send it back.

buzz~
A crimson celestial light swirled, as if struggling to break free.

However, it was easily suppressed by Xu Xing, and the immortal light flowing on the sword gradually dimmed.

Just as the moon's spirit was about to be completely sealed...

boom!
A dazzling sword light came from the distant sky and appeared in front of Xu Xing.

But it all came to nothing.

A jade talisman vanished in a glimmer of light, indicating that Xu Xing had used a trump card he had left for him to arrive.

"Master?!"

Looking at Xu Xing, who was in a terrible state and extremely disheveled, he was stunned for a moment.

In his memory, his master had always been strong and confident, and this was the first time he had ever seen him in such a weak state.

But he quickly realized what was happening and rushed forward to help Xu Xing up.

However, Xu Xing waved his hand to stop him:

Why are you here?

He ran towards the Taiyu region to lure Cangzu away.

"When I saw that Master had escaped from the ancient domain, I thought I would come to help him..."

Cheng Kong was somewhat at a loss.

"……never mind."

Since he was already there, he handed over the moon shadow, whose spirituality he had sealed away.

"Since you're here, that's perfect. Help me take Yueying back."

"They should catch up very soon."

"He is seriously injured. I will find a way to stop him later. You should stay away as much as possible and never look back."

This is……

A dying message?
Cheng Kong stood there blankly, not reaching out to take it.

Xu Xing frowned.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle. You'll need to take care of your junior brothers and sisters in the future!"

What time is it now?

"..."

Cheng Kong remained silent and took two steps back.

"Master must not be allowed to get into trouble here."

The wind and sand howled, making the sound somewhat faint. He lowered his eyes and knelt down.

"Please forgive me for being unable to serve you from now on."

Xu Xing felt a sense of unease.

Not far away, an overwhelming surge of chaotic energy was already approaching, and a majestic will was pressing down!

boom!
The dust that filled the world seemed to be under pressure, and it sank inward. In just an instant, the dust storm was swept away, and the world was clear!
He solemnly kowtowed, then stood up and looked at the distant sky.

Facing that cold and ruthless being shrouded in endless chaos, Cheng Kong showed no intention of retreating; instead, he drew his sword to meet him.

A majestic sword intent soared into the sky.

Compared to that overwhelming, powerful will, it seemed incredibly weak, yet exceptionally tenacious.

A Dongzhen.

He completely disregarded them, and with a single palm strike, he was about to kill them both.

"This sword!"

Cheng Kong was bathed in a layer of pure white holy light, every inch of his skin and every strand of flesh was ignited with pure white flames.

The majestic sword intent instantly surged a thousandfold, tearing apart the oppressive, radiant will.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tai's eyes.

Could it be that the Sword Ancestor still has some strength left?

That shouldn't be!
His condition was clearly worse than that of an ordinary Dongzhen.

After that, a hint of solemnity flashed across Tian's face.

If the Sword Ancestor still has any strength left...

You absolutely must not let your own death throes strike.

Thinking of this, He fell a little too far behind.

At this moment, Cheng Kong's body was almost transparent, his figure was like an illusion, and his whole person seemed to have turned into a wisp of pure white firelight, constantly merging into and wrapping around the long sword held high.

"To reach the pinnacle of my swordsmanship!"

The same arrogance and unrestrainedness!
Just like in the beginning, it seems to be showing its existence and its way to this world and all living beings!

Cheng Kong's figure completely vanished.

A sword soaring into the sky, dazzling to the extreme and exquisite to the finest detail, defying description in any language!

The mere Dongzhen...

A flash of annoyance crossed Tai's eyes, and he suddenly clenched his fists together!

boom!
Rumble!!

Like a pure white sun rising, the ultimate sword light covered all directions, illuminating every inch of the Tai Xuan Realm.

This sword!

Explaining the ultimate essence of swordsmanship!

The concept of time has been distorted.

A moment?
Or perhaps eternity?
The dazzling light of swordsmanship finally dissipated.

Cheng Kong had disappeared, leaving only a long sword covered in cracks, as if countless fragments were forcibly pieced together, slowly falling into the air as if it would shatter at any moment.

Amidst the chaotic air currents filling the sky, Tai stared blankly at the tiny, barely perceptible wound on his palm, from which tiny beads of blood oozed.

The palm strike that was thought to kill both Dongzhen and the Sword Ancestor was actually blocked.

and……

I even got hurt...

I was actually injured by such a tiny hole?!

A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes, and his flawless face twisted slightly.

"Now who can save you!"

After saying that, he struck Xu Xing with another palm strike.

But at that very moment, a vast darkness descended from the edge of heaven and earth, and the stars shone brightly.

The hidden and elusive 'Tao' has now become a clearly visible entity, unfolding like a long staircase.

A stunningly beautiful figure in red slowly emerged from the surrounding array of countless forces, as if all laws were prostrating themselves at her feet, fawning and flattering her.

"Ten Thousand Paths".

The endless flow of the Dao is ever-renewing, gathering in the palm when the five fingers are clenched together.

You must respect me!

One punch!
The fist of the ultimate truth, the fist of all truths!
When Yin Xue arrived in the Taiyi Realm in the later century, he also used this punch.

But the brilliance of that punch is not even a fraction of this one!

Taiyu Tian's expression suddenly changed.

But after this punch, countless killing sword lights rose and fell!
The Lord of Boundless Slaughter, revered by all sword paths across the heavens! (End of Chapter)
