His Great Sage Golden Armor is shattered, exposing him to Fang Yun’s Withering Force—a unique, insidious power that drains his source power at an alarming rate.

This Demon Realm power grants him Sovereign of One World—a rare, world-shaping ability tied to the strength of his environment.
• Explosive Breakthrough: Using his restored power, Gu Xu unleashes Twin-Armed Mountains and Rivers, Slaughter Fist, shattering the Mountain-Range Star and freeing himself.

Summary of Die Without Regret (Excerpt)

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• Demon Realm’s Invasion Plan: The Demon Realm assembles a 10-million-strong elite army (comprising 1 million Demon Kings, 10,000 Emperor Realm experts, and 9 Half-Sages, including Shi Tan) to invade Dragon City in the Starfall Sea. This force is force-ripened (with only 30 years left to live) but is nearly unstoppable without a Half-Sage to counter them.
  • The invasion is timed to exploit Dragon City’s weakened defenses due to anomalies and Gu Xu’s Saint Enfeoffment, which has caused structural cracks in the city’s outer defenses.
  • The Demon Realm’s racial fortune (a concentrated cosmic power) is deployed, making this army a race-defining force.
  • The goal is to seize Dragon City’s treasures, then advance to Two Worlds Mountain to annihilate the Human Race.
• Gu Xu’s Activation of the Black Crescent: Gu Xu, the future Saint Ancestor of the Demon Realm, activates his Black Crescent tattoo, signaling he has found a suitable location in the Starfall Sea (likely Dragon City) to perform a Saint Enfeoffment ritual.
  • This suggests Gu Xu is in danger and may be targeted by Fang Yun, the Human Sage opposing him.
• Fang Yun’s Provocation: Fang Yun, the Human Sage, engages Gu Xu in a negotiation disguised as a calligraphy duel.
  • He ignores Gu Xu’s demands (for tribute, marriage alliances, and submission) and instead writes Sacred-Way War Poetry—a highly destructive form of calligraphy that warps space and triggers the Voice of the Sacred Way (a divine political authority).
  • The poetry ("The Charmer" and "Kunlun Sword Formation") is half-black, half-gray, symbolizing war and rebellion, and shakes the Starfall Sea with its power.
  • Fang Yun’s defiant stance ("The Son of Heaven guards the nation’s gates; the Sages die for the altars of state!") echoes with divine authority, reinforcing the Human Race’s resistance.
