Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal Gu Mingchao!
Outside the ruins, many powerful figures witnessed Chu Xinghe being slapped by a malevolent stone statue emanating the aura of Mystic God... But before they could even Chu Xinghe was actually in danger...
The gate to the ruins was simply shut...
Upon seeing the suddenly closed gate to the ruins, everyone from the Vast Heaven Sect and other powerful figures went into a frenzy.
Although the malevolent statue inside is merely the malevolent intent of the Gu God, and even though the Mystic God power within it is incomplete, it is still Mystic God...
At this moment, Xinghe is trapped inside, which is almost certainly a death sentence!
But at that moment, an aura many times more terrifying than the malevolent statue in the ruins suddenly descended upon them.
That's Mystic God Gu Mingchao!
An aura so terrifying that it would make many people want to kneel down and worship emanated from Gu Mingchao!
Gu Mingchao, whose body was shimmering with divine light, was holding the Heaven-Supporting Sword.
Gu Mingchao stared at the spot where the gate to the ruins had disappeared, and said calmly, "Want to close it? Did you ask me Gu Mingchao?"
"One sword cleaves the heavens!"
Gu Mingchao thrust out his sword. This sword strike seemed ordinary... but it was this ordinary sword strike that seemed to contain all the great principles of swordsmanship in the world!
Mystic God Gu Mingchao has countless titles outside.
For example, the World's Greatest Painter... For example, the World's Greatest Stone Carving Master...
For example, the founder of the Dao of Watching and Waiting!
But only the older generation of powerful figures knew... Gu Mingchao's status as the number one in the world was not simply due to Watch Quietly as Things Change.
Gu Mingchao was the number one on the Heavenly Dao Ranking back then. The fact that Vast Heaven Sect was able to become the number one sect in the world was also due to Gu Mingchao's hard power.
Before being World's Greatest Painter, Gu Mingchao had another title!
Gu Mingchao, the Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal!
Gu Mingchao cultivated the Haotian Battle Intent and entered the Dao through the sword. He was able to become the sect leader of the Vast Heaven Sect. In his youth, Gu Mingchao did not rely on the Dao of Watching and Waiting.
In his own time, Gu Mingchao would have been the most dazzling figure in the world.
At the age of twelve, Gu Mingchao obtained the divine sword Qingtian in the Sword Tomb of the Vast Heaven Sect. He then comprehended the Dao in the Sword Tomb and at the age of twelve, he comprehended the Supreme Sword Intent!
For the next ten years, Gu Mingchao traversed the Blazing Sun Continent, challenging the younger generation with his swordsmanship, and none could surpass him!
Gu Mingchao, at the age of twenty-five, fought against Fang Chenghe, the supreme master of swordsmanship in the world...
Gu Mingchao lost that battle... but it still shocked the entire Blazing Sun Continent. The twenty-five-year-old Gu Mingchao only lost to Fang Chenghe by one move... that year, Gu Mingchao became a legend.
Gu Mingchao returned to the Sword Tomb to comprehend the Sword Intent once more. When Gu Mingchao stepped out of the Sword Tomb again a year later, everyone thought he was going to challenge Fang Chenghe again and obtain the title of the world's number one sword master. However, Gu Mingchao shook his head.
Gu Mingchao stated that a year ago, he was not confident in defeating Fang Chenghe, so he wanted to challenge Fang Chenghe, but he lost.
A year later... I no longer need to challenge Fang Chenghe, because I no longer need Fang Chenghe to prove myself.
Gu Mingchao's words spread far and wide, and for a time, countless people said that Gu Mingchao was too arrogant.
Just when the whole world was saying that Gu Mingchao was arrogant, Fang Chenghe left his secluded place and entered the Vast Heaven Sect to challenge Gu Mingchao...
This news caused a sensation throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
The Supreme Sword Master is going to the Vast Heaven Sect to challenge a young man?
This battle attracted the attention of the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
Gu Mingchao ultimately defeated Fang Chenghe by a single move... but that move was the same one that Gu Mingchao had previously lost to Fang Chenghe.
When the whole world witnessed Gu Mingchao replicating his previous battle and defeating Fang Chenghe with the same move he had once lost, they all knew... Gu Mingchao's swordsmanship had reached an unparalleled level.
It wasn't that Gu Mingchao couldn't defeat Fang Chenghe by a larger margin, but rather that Gu Mingchao was considering Fang Chenghe's feelings, which is why he used that method to defeat Fang Chenghe. It was also a way of telling Fang Chenghe that his era... was over...
The name of Gu Mingchao, the Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal, spread throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent overnight!
That year, Gu Mingchao was twenty-six years old!
That year, he stood in the Vast Heaven Sect, invincible in the world!
For countless years afterward, Gu Mingchao's name remained at the top of the Heavenly Dao Ranking, and no matter how powerful an individual was, none could surpass Gu Mingchao.
Gu Mingchao successfully preserved the Vast Heaven Sect's position as the number one sect in the world, a position that no one could challenge!
Even now... Martial Emperor Gu Mingchao, has become Mystic God, and he still stands at the highest point in the world.
But many people have forgotten... Gu Mingchao, the Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal, not only raised his cultivation to the Mystic God level, but his swordsmanship has also reached a level that no one can understand.
Gu Mingchao once said, "In this world, there is no one who can make me Gu Mingchao, draw my sword again!"
Today, for the sake of the Xinghe, Gu Mingchao, the Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal, once again took up his Heaven-Supporting Sword!
This seemingly ordinary sword strike seemed to distort the heavens and earth with its Supreme Sword Intent. The gate to the ruins, which had just been closed, was pierced through the void by this sword strike and forcibly torn open!
This sword strike may seem casual, but the profound principles it contains are beyond comprehension, requiring countless years to grasp!
The gate to the ruins was reopened by Gu Mingchao's sword. The moment the gate opened, Gu Mingchao's profound Mystic God power was released once again. In that instant, everyone felt that Gu Mingchao had changed. He was like a Supreme divine sword that could pierce through heaven and earth and pierce through the laws of nature.
In an instant, everyone centered on Gu Mingchao noticed that the swords on their bodies had all begun to tremble!
As countless divine swords trembled, the next second they seemed to sense the summons of the Heaven-Supporting Sword Immortal Gu Mingchao. All the divine swords were unsheathed, soaring into the sky and flying together towards Gu Mingchao's back.
Not only the divine sword... In that instant, Gu Mingchao's Sword Intent shook the heavens... Countless wild grasses around him flew into the air and transformed into divine swords, flying towards Gu Mingchao's back...
Leaves also flew in from all directions.
And each of these leaves and weeds that could be torn apart at will has been transformed into a divine sword capable of slaying Supreme most powerful beings!
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Me... Open!"
Gu Mingchao pointed his sword at the gate of the ruins, and in an instant, everything—from the flying swords to every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every leaf—became Gu Mingchao's divine sword!
The sword light struck the gate of the ruins, and the laws governing the gate were shattered by thousands upon thousands of sword lights.
With the shattering of the laws, the rules that restricted Eighth Rank cultivation were also completely broken.
Gu Mingchao took a step Xiangqian, as if shattering the sky, and entered the ruins directly.
At this moment, Gu Mingchao was walking in mid-air, with countless plants and divine swords following behind him...
At this moment, Gu Mingchao embodies the Supreme Sword Intent of this world!
Within the ruins, the slap that just now seemed to have hit Chu Xinghe, but in reality, Chu Xinghe escaped the stone statue's attack at the last moment by using the teleportation array formed by the Flying Locust Sword Formation.
However, while they escaped this attack, fleeing the statue's pursuit seems to be proving difficult.
At this moment, Chu Xinghe was forced to jump around frantically. Although this stone statue was not a proper Xuan Mystic God, if it attacked him a couple more times, he would surely die.
Just as Chu Xinghe was lamenting that he might die here, the sky was suddenly illuminated by a burst of light.
The next moment, a scene that left Chu Xinghe dumbfounded appeared!
At the edge of the sky, a divine light pierced the heavens, coming from beyond the stars...
That was a sword... a divine sword that could tear the heavens and earth apart!
Behind this divine sword, Sect Gu Mingchao stood with his hands behind his back, and thousands of divine lights behind him illuminated the sky in his own color.
Grass and trees can be swords... flowers and leaves can be swords... everything can become Gu Mingchao's sword at this moment!
The myriad divine swords transformed into Gu Mingchao's absolute domain, within which he, Gu Mingchao, was the sole deity!
"Xinghe, step aside! I will slay this stone statue!"
Gu Mingchao stood with his hands behind his back, and as he spoke, a divine light descended from the sky.
Divine light gathered in the sky and formed an enormous divine sword.
The divine sword fell, piercing the ground where the stone statue stood. The moment the sword hit the ground, the Mystic God aura that had been binding Chu Xinghe and preventing him from escaping was severed by this sword.
The moment the restraints disappeared, Chu Xinghe didn't hesitate at all. He immediately used the teleportation array to teleport, and with a whoosh, he arrived at the gate of the ruins.
At this moment, seeing Xinghe teleport to the gate of the ruins, all the Vast Heaven Sect leaders who had passed through the gate and entered the ruins were filled with relief.
Although they all knew that Xinghe was capable enough to withstand even a single blow, they were completely relieved to see Xinghe safe and sound with their own eyes.
Chu Xinghe couldn't bother communicating with the others in the sect at this moment, because Sect Gu Mingchao had already made his move in the sky!
With a wave of his hand, everything in the ruins that could fly turned into his sword!
A terrifying storm of swords filled the sky, Gu Mingchao stood at its center, his gaze fixed on the menacing, malevolent stone statue!
"This sword technique is called Supreme!"
Under Gu Mingchao's control, all the divine swords in the world combined into a sharp beam of light...
In a flash of light, the sword had already pierced through.
The terrifying sword light, carrying Gu Mingchao's Supreme Sword Intent, slammed directly into the stone statue's chest.
The moment the massive sword light pierced the stone statue's chest, it split into countless smaller sword lights.
These sword lights swirled around every part of the stone statue...
With a flash of sword light, all the insects controlling the stone statue's joints were killed by the sword light!
The stone statue began to crack... and eventually, unable to withstand the Supreme power of the sword, it shattered and collapsed.
The ground within the entire ruins was shaking violently...
The stone statue collapsed with a crash!
This sword strike... just as Gu Mingchao said... is Supreme sword!
At the very moment the stone statue shattered, a strange shadow rose into the air from within it; this shadow was the evil intent of the Gu God.
At this moment, the evil thought seemed to be suppressed by Gu Mingchao's Supreme Sword Intent, and it tried to escape from the stone statue.
But just as it turned around, Gu Mingchao shattered the void and arrived beside it.
"The Gu God could not sever you back then, but today I Gu Mingchao, will slay you here!"
The Heaven-Supporting Sword flashed out of Gu Mingchao's hand.
The heavens and earth seemed to freeze in place by the power of that sword strike!
The moment the sword light pierced the evil thought, a storm surged forth from the sword light, and the evil thought let out a shrill scream.
But it could not withstand the sword light.
Where the sword light flashed... evil thoughts vanished into thin air!
Mystic God Gu Mingchao's Supreme sword strike severed the evil thoughts that even the Gu God could not eradicate back then...
