Gu Yao: No Saint Dared Enter Here

Gu Yao thought of many things, especially her past memories, and she already knew the identity of the man in front of her.

The legacy she possesses, including that Iron Sword and the current Ancient Moon Sword Sect, all came from this man.

The man had already died, leaving only a lonely grave, and she received her inheritance from that grave.

Now that this man is alive, she finds it unbelievable, especially after hearing about that so-called existence, which makes it even more incredible.

There is no such thing as resurrection in this world.

When someone dies, they either become a ghost or completely vanish into the world.

The man before them had come back to life. After so many years, he couldn't possibly have lived forever. This method was simply astonishing.

She was curious, but also wary, which is why she asked that question.

Butcher of Heavens's gaze was filled with reminiscence. He drew the long sword from his back and gently stroked the blade, leaving a dazzling sharpness on the edge.

"That being is beyond your comprehension. He is so powerful that you would despair. In his eyes, we are nothing but ants."

"I know what you're thinking. Don't fight to the death. Just surrender obediently. I can speak with that being and maybe save your life."

Beside him, the middle-aged scholar frowned and said nothing. He felt that Butcher of Heavens had become somewhat sentimental.

Of course, if it were him, he would probably have done the same.

After all, having been dead for countless years, when one suddenly comes back to life and sees one's past legacy, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

After Butcher of Heavens finished speaking, he shut his mouth, waiting for Gu Yao's reply, while gripping the longsword in his hand, the sharpness of the sword becoming even more intense.

Gu Yao fell silent and did not answer for a long time.

If she had been confident in fighting before, or even if she had achieved sainthood, she could have stalled for time, but now she was unsure.

To put it bluntly, the inheritance she received back then was still incomplete. Even so, the Ancient Moon Sword Sect was able to grow to this extent. Now, facing the person who once gave her the inheritance, she had no confidence at all.

It's like you learn a unique skill from a master craftsman, but the master craftsman has kept another skill a secret. How can you be sure of success?

Unless... you use that!

Gu Yao took a deep breath and broke the silence. "What exactly is your purpose? If you can tell me, I might agree."

Butcher of Heavens frowned and said, "Don't you understand yet? Our goal is to destroy this world, especially that Xu Bai, he is doomed."

Gu Yao looked up and said, "You were once powerful beings in this world, even part of it. Why would you help villains destroy the world? What benefit would that bring you?"

"A villain?" Butcher of Heavens laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the heavens. "You have no idea how powerful that being is. None of us can even compare to a single finger of his. As for why he wants to destroy this world, it's simply to survive."

"You haven't experienced it, you don't understand the despair of dying back then, that boundless darkness that swallowed you up, you were like a butterfly caught in a spider web, struggling inside."

"The more you struggle, the more you can't escape. You slowly sink into despair until finally, you are trapped in eternal loneliness."

"Death is terrifying. I don't want to die, and neither do they. So the only option is for this world to die."

"Clang!"

The longsword emitted a soft hum, its blade pointing at Gu Yao, and Butcher of Heavens's tone gradually turned cold.

"After saying all this, you have to give me an answer. If you want to die, then fight to the death. If you want to live, hand over the Iron Sword as soon as possible. I really don't want to fight. After all, you inherited my legacy. When people get old, they always become nostalgic."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone behind him drew their weapons. Some came empty-handed, but their aura was exceptionally powerful. The combined force of this group filled the entire sky, pressing down on the sword formation with overwhelming power.

"Hold on!"

One of the Twelve Sword Envoys shouted, and the disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect quickly stabilized their formation to prevent any chaos.

Gu Yao sighed, "I don't know what to say, but if you want to fight to the death, I will fight to the death. Xu Bai cannot die, he is my son-in-law. You cannot destroy this world either, he already belongs to our era. You are just a bunch of outdated old guys."

"As for the being you mentioned, let's wait until he comes out. The Ancient Moon Sword Sect has no cowards; we will fight you."

"All disciples, listen to my command!"

The disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect shouted in unison, "We are here!"

Gu Yao took a deep breath, pointed her sword at the dense crowd in front of her, and said, "This battle may be difficult, but we have this world behind us. Everyone, let's fight!"

The disciples replied, "We follow our Sect Leader, and we will fight to the death without regret! We will fight to the bitter end!"

"Buzz!"

In the sky, countless longswords began to roam, and within the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, countless longswords flew towards Butcher of Heavens and his companions.

Butcher of Heavens sighed, "In the end, we still have to fight."

He swung his longsword, and the dense array of Ten Thousand Swords Formation suddenly froze in place. Immediately afterward, the disciples suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, and the countless swords they could no longer control fell to the ground.

Gu Yao opened her eyes wide.

Butcher of Heavens laughed and said, "Fortunately, I was about to die back then and in the rush I didn't leave behind a complete record, otherwise it would have been really difficult to fight today."

"Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Behind Butcher of Heavens, a dense crowd of people shouted as they charged toward the Ancient Moon Sword Sect members.

A brush appeared in the middle-aged scholar's hand. He drew a line in the air, and countless characters descended from the sky, suppressing the disciples of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect.

And following that were countless attacks.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar resounded through the heavens and earth. In the sky, the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation were fully assembled, blocking all attacks.

The twelve extraordinary masters, along with the power of the sword formation, completely blocked the attack, but the Twelve Sword Envoys were not unscathed either, spitting out a mouthful of blood and turning as pale as paper.

The middle-aged scholar looked at Butcher of Heavens and said, "Isn't this your method? Why not make it ineffective?"

Clearly, the attack hadn't destroyed the place immediately, which displeased the middle-aged scholar.

Butcher of Heavens sneered, "Who do you take me for? These people are able to reach the extraordinary realm with just a fragment of the manual. Their talent is no less than mine. Isn't it normal that they've made some improvements?"

The middle-aged scholar didn't speak again, but his brows remained furrowed. "Gentlemen, they won't be able to withstand a few more attacks. Continue!"

Now that the Ten Thousand Swords Formation is destroyed, only the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation remains. However, even though the Twelve Sword Envoys strong, they will still struggle to deal with this large group of people. How many times can the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation withstand them? When everyone heard what the middle-aged scholar said, they all understood that this was not the time to start fighting amongst themselves.

They each gathered their attacks, preparing to launch another attack, and just then, Gu Yao took a step forward.

A woman, however, exuded a sharp and piercing aura. As her sleeves fluttered, the largest sword in the sky, the Ancient Moon Sword, emitted a sword's cry.

"In the midst of chaos, I used a sword to quell the chaos."

"I once faced an attack from thousands of people and blocked it with a single sword."

"The Great Wind Army is known as the invincible Iron Hoof, yet no one dares to set foot in the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, precisely because of me."

As Gu Yao took a step, she gradually rose into the air, and the entire world seemed to freeze.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Butcher of Heavens's mind. He had a feeling that the person in front of him had changed.

Gu Yao's eyes were icy as she turned to Butcher of Heavens and the others.

"Thank you for your fragment, because if it were complete, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend my own way of the sword."

"Back then, the Great Feng Kingdom had people who had reached the Saint level, but they dared not come. Do you know why?"

Butcher of Heavens swallowed hard. "Why?"

"Hehe..." Gu Yao's cold laughter answered him.

"The Great Chu has Eunuch Wei, who can transcend the mortal realm and enter the realm of sainthood, while I, though unable to enter the realm of sainthood, am a forbidden place."

Gu Yao took a deep breath and turned her gaze behind her.

Behind her was the dilapidated path and the makeshift platform, upon which an Iron Sword was stuck.

As she looked over, the Iron Sword hummed.

The next moment, the Iron Sword soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and falling into Gu Yao's hand.

Gu Yao reached out and touched the blade of the Iron Sword, saying, "This sword can traverse space, and it is also the sword path I cultivate. Do you know what the taboo is?"

"If you join my Ancient Moon Sword Sect, based on the Ancient Moon Sword, within its range, I will reduce your cultivation and banish you to another dimension!"

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, continuous and intense, Iron Sword emitted a fierce light that enveloped everyone present, accompanied by screams of agony.

"Aaaaaah! My abilities are gradually decreasing, what's going on?"

"I've already fallen to the mortal realm, impossible, this is impossible!"

"She can reduce people's cultivation level, everyone run!"

"Space! She banished our cultivation to space, and we can never get it back!"

A series of screams erupted, Gu Yao's eyes grew even colder as she saw the scene inside through the sword's gleam.

Inside, everyone's cultivation level was reduced by a major realm by her. Everyone was screaming in agony, but they were powerless to do anything. As long as they were blocked by the sword light of the Iron Sword, everything would cease to exist.

Butcher of Heavens watched helplessly as he fell to the Transcendent Realm, standing there like a piece of wood.

"Space, isn't it just about teleportation? Can it be used in this way too?"

He was the creator of this legacy, and even the Iron Sword was painstakingly forged by him, but his opponent used it better than him!

He could reduce someone's cultivation level and store it in his spatial storage within the Ancient Moon Realm—a forbidden realm for those who had entered the Saintly Realm! At this moment, he finally understood why no one had entered the Saintly Realm to come and cause trouble at the Ancient Moon Sword Token. If you had come, you would have been gone—not your life, but your cultivation level.

The oldest of the Twelve Sword Envoys let out a cold laugh.

"If it weren't for the Iron Sword, the Sect Leader would have already fought for the position of Saint, and would certainly be one of the nine in the world right now. How could you bunch of fools know the Sect Leader's talent?"

"The Sect Leader was born for the sword!"

The intense sword light gradually faded.

After all the sword light disappeared, Gu Yao also turned pale.

Even for her, weakening the cultivation of so many experts of the same level was somewhat unbearable, but fortunately, she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Kill!"

Although her face was as pale as paper, Gu Yao remained cold and uttered a single word. "Kill."

As she uttered that word, the Twelve Heavenly Swords Formation in the sky, carrying boundless power, swept towards the group of people, annihilating them.

Everyone's strength has been reduced by a significant level, and now, facing the Twelve Sword Envoys at the Extraordinary Realm, not one of them can withstand it.

The screams of agony from those present were incessant.

In just a moment, apart from Butcher of Heavens and the middle-aged scholar, no one else was left alive.

Both of them were very pale, clearly understanding the current situation.

Gu Yao said, "Tell me who that being is, and also tell me your plans, and perhaps I will give you a chance to live."

Butcher of Heavens and the middle-aged scholar exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Gu Yao frowned and said, "Isn't your only goal to survive? I gave you a chance to live, why didn't you say so?"

Butcher of Heavens said, "If we tell you, we will surely die. If you kill us, perhaps the Supreme Saint will resurrect us."

After Butcher of Heavens finished speaking, he suddenly stopped saying anything, while cracks began to appear on the body of the middle-aged scholar beside him.

Gu Yao's expression changed slightly; she already knew what had happened.

"Defense!"

Iron Sword encircled his body, and a sword formation enveloped the surroundings.

"Boom!"

Butcher of Heavens and the middle-aged scholar surprisingly chose to self-destruct in unison. Fortunately, their abilities were weakened by a large level, so the damage was not significant, and Gu Yao easily stopped them.

"Sect Leader..." Among the Twelve Sword Envoys, the oldest one stepped forward, wanting to speak.

Gu Yao raised her hand and interrupted her.

"Let's clean up this mess first. The people I sent to the Great Chu Kingdom should be here soon. They'll know everything then. Don't say anything now, lest someone overhears us."

Having said all that, the Twelve Sword Envoys naturally understood and hurriedly bowed in agreement.

After Gu Yao and the others finished dealing with the mess, she returned to her room, keeping the Iron Sword with her at all times.

After waiting for nearly an hour, a whooshing sound came from afar, and soon her door was opened.

"Yao'er, are you alright?"

Rising Dusk King hurriedly walked in.

Before he could take two steps, he was kicked in the face by a delicate foot.

"Smack!"

The renowned Rising Dusk King lay on the ground, sighing helplessly, "You're still so fierce..."

Gu Yao grabbed Rising Dusk King by the collar and pulled him close. "Let me tell you, if you don't explain things to me clearly today, even though the Iron Sword can't go too far from the Ancient Moon Sword Sect, you can forget about passing through here."

Rising Dusk King said helplessly, "I rushed over here just to tell you this..."

Gu Yao hummed in agreement, released her grip, crossed her arms over her chest, and waited for Rising Dusk King to continue.

Rising Dusk King had no choice but to tell him everything he knew...
