Gu Shaoshang shattered Hua Tiandu's physical body with a single finger, sweeping away the ripples of battle and gathering the residual aftermath along the timeline.
From beginning to end, it had taken no more than an instant—only a few microseconds in terms of time perceptible to humans—and everything had settled.
Hoo~
Gu Shaoshang withdrew his finger.
Within the Sea of Stars inside the Divine Court Council Center, silence still reigned. Everyone remained silent.
Only Xiongba wore an expression as though he had swallowed a dead child. "What... does this have to do with me?"
Hua Tiandu's venomous voice as he fled made even Xiongba shudder.
"Guild Master Xiong, there is no need to worry about that."
Gu Shaoshang sat cross-legged. With a light flick of his finger, he sent Xiongba's aura back into his physical body.
"Compared to what comes next, Hua Tiandu's threat is still far away."
He gave Xiongba a deep look, while his own aura instantly fell to its lowest point, as though it had vanished.
The reason he had acted through Xiongba's Great Dao was naturally not for amusement.
What came next?
What did that mean?
Before Xiongba could recover his senses, an immense boom, like the Big Bang itself, suddenly resounded within his mind.
Boom!
An indescribable chill instantly enveloped his body and soul, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Even his primordial spirit seemed frozen.
He abruptly raised his head and saw a vast vortex slowly emerge from the invisible void, above countless laws and Great Daos.
Vaguely, he seemed to see an enormous vertical pupil!
"The Eye of the Heavenly Dao? The Eye of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Chaos Great World?!"
Xiongba's expression changed wildly. Only then did he understand what Gu Shaoshang had meant.
