Guang Chengzi's Shock, Who Is He

"This formation, even if all twelve of you Golden Immortals were here, you couldn't break it."

Lin Feng's calm voice, piercing through the formation's light barrier, clearly reached the ears of Guang Chengzi and the other three.

Every word was like a resounding slap, fiercely striking the faces of the four Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Especially Guang Chengzi.

The foremost of the Twelve Golden Immortals!

What an honor, and what pride that was.

But now, that pride, along with the Heavenly Origin Sect's dignity, was being trampled into the ground and rubbed repeatedly by the man before them.

"Arrogant!"

Guang Chengzi's eyes were bloodshot, almost spitting fire, and a roar echoed through the heavens.

Humiliation, rage, and a trace of fear that he himself refused to admit, completely shattered his reason.

He refused to believe it!

He didn't believe that in this Primordial World, besides a Sage, anyone else could so utterly disdain his Heavenly Origin Sect!

"You brat, you're forcing my hand!"

Guang Chengzi's face contorted, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and spat out a mouthful of blood imbued with pure magic power and his Primordial Spirit.

This golden blood did not scatter in the air. Instead, it rapidly condensed, transforming into an extremely profound blood-colored rune, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

"Senior Brother, no!" Chi Jingzi exclaimed in great alarm.

This was burning his origin!

Guang Chengzi, however, turned a deaf ear. He madly formed hand seals, chanting ancient and obscure incantations.

"I humbly invite, Sage's Magic Treasure!"

As he uttered the last word, the blood-colored rune suddenly blazed with light, shooting into his brow.

Boom!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, carrying traces of immortality and supreme authority, erupted from Guang Chengzi's body!

Behind him, an illusory figure slowly materialized. It was a majestic figure seated high above the nine heavens, its face blurred, yet overlooking all the eons of the heavens.

Yuanshi Tianzun!

"Not good!" Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Huanglong Zhenren and frantically retreated.

This was a life-saving trump card bestowed by their Master, a replica Magic Treasure forged from the scraps of the true Fan Tian Seal, and personally infused with a trace of the Sage's might!

Once this treasure was unleashed, its power was boundless, capable of suppressing mountains and rivers, and shaking the heavens and earth!

But the price was equally immense. Every use would cause significant damage to the caster's origin.

Clearly, Guang Chengzi had been pushed to his limit.

Guang Chengzi's eyes were tightly shut, his hands raised high as if supporting a world.

A simple, unadorned gray seal, palm-sized, slowly rose from the crown of his head.

It looked ordinary, without even a trace of spiritual light.

But the moment it appeared, the surrounding void could not withstand the immense pressure and began to crack inch by inch, turning into pitch-black chaos.

"Die!"

Guang Chengzi's eyes snapped open, two terrifying divine lights shooting out. He used all his strength to hurl the gray seal towards the protective formation of the Three Immortal Islands!

The replica Fan Tian Seal!

The moment it left Guang Chengzi's palm, it grew in the wind!

One zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang!

In almost an instant, it transformed into a terrifying divine mountain that blotted out the sun and obscured the sky, countless times more solid than the illusory phantom of the Fan Tian Seal formed by magic power before!

On the divine mountain, Daoist runes flowed, Sage's aura permeated, as if carrying the weight of the entire Primordial World. With supreme divine might that could crush everything and shatter all laws, it descended!

With this strike, let alone an island, even a true continent would be completely sunk and turned to dust!

Chi Jingzi and Taiyi Zhenren held their breath, their eyes filled with unprecedented hope.

It's done!

This was a strike imbued with the might of a Sage. Even a Quasi-Sage would have to evade its edge!

No matter how profound your formation is, it is ultimately an acquired arrangement. How could it contend with the might of a Sage?

However, within the formation, Lin Feng didn't even bother to look back.

He was still holding the scorching hot beauty in his arms, who was so ashamed she was about to faint. With his other hand, he idly played with a strand of Bi Xiao's hair, as if the world-shattering scene outside was merely a boring fireworks display.

The next second.

The replica Fan Tian Seal, capable of changing the heavens and earth and making ghosts and gods wail, finally landed on the translucent light barrier, as thin as a cicada's wing.

There was no earth-shattering roar.

There was no world-ending explosion.

Not even a ripple stirred.

The terrifying divine mountain, weighing billions of tons, upon contact with the light barrier, melted like ice encountering a scorching sun, like wood chips thrown into lava.

Silently, it dissolved.

Yes, it dissolved.

Starting from the bottom, it decomposed and dissipated bit by bit, transforming into the purest Chaos Vital Energy, which was then completely swallowed and absorbed by the light barrier.

It took no more than the time it takes to draw a single breath.

That ultimate attack, which condensed Guang Chengzi's entire essence and contained a trace of a Sage's power, had… vanished without a trace.

As if it had never existed.

The world fell into dead silence.

The hope on Chi Jingzi and Taiyi Zhenren's faces instantly froze, turning into endless shock and confusion.

Huanglong Zhenren's legs went weak, and he slumped directly into the void, his eyes vacant, as if his soul had been ripped away.

"Pfft—"

Guang Chengzi spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body like a kite with a broken string, plummeting straight down from mid-air. His face instantly turned as pale as paper.

That imitation Fan Tian Seal was a Magic Treasure he had refined with his Primordial Spirit.

With the Magic Treasure destroyed, his Primordial Spirit had also suffered a devastating blow!

He stared blankly at the formation's light barrier, which still shimmered with brilliance and was completely undamaged. The last spark of spirit in his eyes finally dimmed.

It's over.

Everything was over.

Even the Magic Treasure bestowed by Master couldn't do anything to the opponent, how could they fight this?

What in the world is this thing?

"Impossible… this is impossible!"

Taiyi Zhenren was the first to snap out of his daze, letting out a hysterical scream, his voice becoming sharp and piercing due to extreme fear.

"This is a Sage-level formation! It's absolutely a Sage-level formation! Who is he? Who is he!"

This scream also brought a sliver of clarity to Guang Chengzi's chaotic mind.

Yes, who is he?

An unprecedented storm surged within Guang Chengzi's heart.

A thought rapidly grew in his mind, chilling him to the bone.

This person could casually obliterate a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

He could make his words manifest as law, annihilating their combined attack with a single finger.

He could set up a terrifying formation with a wave of his hand that could even devour a Sage's Magic Treasure.

Most terrifyingly, from his appearance until now, the heavenly secrets were completely chaotic, and he couldn't deduce any of his origins at all!

This couldn't be described with the word "powerful."

This was an existence that completely surpassed his cognitive limits!

A Sage?

He had been fortunate enough to glimpse the faces of the six Sages of the Primordial World, and none of them were like this.

Moreover, which Sage would be so bored as to run to be a backer for a disciple of the Intercepting Sect, and even take them in as a maidservant?

Then…

A legend, ancient and almost forgotten, flashed through Guang Chengzi's mind.

Before the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening, in the chaos, there were three thousand Demon Gods…

Could it be… he was a Chaos Demon God who survived the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening, remained in seclusion until now, and only awakened today?

The moment this thought appeared, it was like a basin of ice water drenching Guang Chengzi from head to toe, causing his Primordial Spirit to tremble.

If it were true, then things would be dire!

That was an old monster from the same era as Great God Pangu! His strength had likely already surpassed ordinary Sages, reaching an unimaginable realm!

Provoking such an existence, let alone him, the chief disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect, even his Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, if he came personally, would probably…

Guang Chengzi dared not think further.

Endless fear finally overwhelmed all anger and unwillingness.

If you keep the green hills, you don't worry about firewood!

Staying any longer would not only be self-humiliation but might truly lead to annihilation of body and soul!

Guang Chengzi struggled to rise from the void, forcibly suppressing the surging Blood Essence, and facing the formation that filled him with despair, he roared with all his remaining strength, feigning ferocity:

"Your Excellency! We are acting under the decree of a Sage. The Heavenly Origin Sect will remember this day's events! You can protect them for now, but you cannot protect them forever!"

These words were less of a threat and more of a way for him to find an excuse to escape.

After speaking, he didn't even glance at Chi Jingzi and the others. He didn't dare wait for anyone in the formation to respond before transforming into a pathetic streak of light and fleeing madly towards Kunlun Mountain without looking back.

His speed was more than ten times faster than when he arrived.

Seeing this, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, and Huanglong Zhenren also snapped out of their daze. They didn't dare to linger for even a moment.

The three exchanged glances, seeing the relief of having survived and the endless fear in each other's eyes. Without another word, they also transformed into three streaks of light, closely following Guang Chengzi, and disappearing into the horizon in utter disarray.
