Uproot the Grass and Eradicate the Roots, Destroying the Ancient Thunder Medicine Three Clans

Screech!

Golden Lightning, carrying a destructive aura, shot forth like an arrow loosed from a bow, hurtling straight at Gu Yuan's face!

Gu Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, and alarm surged through his heart. He instinctively raised his hand to gather Dou Qi for defense.

But before his arm had even risen halfway, an overwhelming wave of exhaustion suddenly swept through his entire body. It felt as though a massive boulder weighed upon him, making even his fingertips difficult to move.

The Dou Qi within his meridians had become like stagnant water. No matter how he urged it, he could not gather even a trace of it.

Not only had the Life-burning Pill's effects completely worn off, but its fatal backlash erupted at that very moment!

He could not even activate a Dou Technique now, much less detonate his own dantian. He could only watch helplessly, like an ordinary man, as death drew near.

Despair engulfed Gu Yuan like a rising tide.

He watched as the bolt of Golden Lightning grew larger and larger before his eyes.

In that final moment, Gu Yuan felt a profound bitterness. He had fought Hun Tiandi for half his life.

Each had wanted to suppress the other, and each had wanted his own clan to become the ruler of the continent.

Who could have imagined that the final victor would be that Stone Clan brat he had once looked down upon...

Splat!

Without any surprise, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder pierced straight through Gu Yuan's forehead. Golden currents raged through his body for a brief moment before extinguishing the last of his vitality.

Gu Yuan's body froze in place, his eyes still wide open as though he could not accept such a humiliating end. Then he toppled stiffly to the ground, completely devoid of life.
