With the Origin Immortal King reduced to flying ash and scattered smoke, the whole world seemed to fall silent all at once.
All the cultivators of the Taixuan Sect stared at Gu An, dumbstruck, their eyes filled with shock. Emperor Fiend, standing before Gu An, was even more stupefied, his body frozen stiff.
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and Shenxinzi were likewise rooted to the spot like wooden chickens, unable to believe their eyes.
Gu An's face was expressionless, while a faint regret stirred in his heart.
Even a Free Immortal this powerful couldn't break through his Dao-Protecting Divine Essence?
He truly had not counterattacked just now. The Origin Immortal King had been suppressed and annihilated by his own power and the Dao-Protecting Divine Essence, body and soul alike, utterly obliterated.
Unfortunately, the Origin Immortal King was not a living being, so Gu An gained no lifespan from him.
More and more figures appeared out of thin air, all of them Great Cultivators of the Taixuan Sect. They looked at the street where Gu An stood, all frowning. The Origin Immortal King's powerful aura still lingered in the air, and when they looked at the wreckage on the street, they could not help imagining the commotion that had just taken place.
Gu An raised his right hand. Wisps of black qi appeared from nowhere and burrowed into his palm. He took the opportunity to curl his hand into his sleeve, and no one saw clearly what it was.
He lowered his head to look at Emperor Fiend and asked, "Brother Di, are you all right?"
Emperor Fiend came back to his senses. With Gu An supporting him, he shakily rose to his feet. He looked at Gu An, the reverence in his eyes impossible to hide.
"You..."
Emperor Fiend's lips trembled.
