"Ah--!"
"My eyes!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
In Great Desolation City, some warriors with low cultivation level or weak determination just subconsciously raised their heads and their eyes touched the illusory demonic figure that was slowly revealed.
In an instant, his eyes were dull, and all the reason and clarity in his eyes were completely replaced by the rich blood light. He let out an unconscious roar from his mouth, exuded a crazy and bloodthirsty aura, and started to attack the people around him indiscriminately!
Gu Sheng endured the severe pain of his body breaking apart, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down the churning blood.
He looked at the demonic figure with extremely solemn eyes, and based on his previous life experience, he made an instant judgment.
'This aura... has surpassed the ordinary holy realm and reached the peak of the holy realm! It even... touches the edge of the imperial realm!'
Just the natural emission of breath has such terrifying power! Many warriors who rushed from the direction of Great Desolation City, trying to prevent the arrival of the demonic shadow, were swept away by the coercive aftermath of the naturally dissipated demonic shadow before they got close to the core area of Phoenix Town. They exploded like fireworks into a ball of blood mist on the spot, and no one was dead!
Even the powerful body of Gu Sheng, which has been tempered for thousands of times and created by Glazed Golden Body, is like a porcelain that is about to be broken at this moment, with dense cracks all over the body, and red blood with gold constantly pouring out. If Longevity Dao Resonance had not continuously provided vitality to forcibly maintain it, I am afraid it would have completely disintegrated!
He felt that his bones were wailing, as if he would be completely crushed by this vast pressure like a sea of stars in the next second!
"Haha... hahahaha!"
Xiao Beixuan is suspended under the blood column that is gradually becoming thinner. The ferocious scales on his body reflect a cold luster under the blood-colored skylight. The four demon arms are fluttering and dancing, like a demon god crawling out of hell.
He sneered and looked at Gu Sheng, who was struggling to hold on and covered in blood, his voice full of pleasure and ridicule.
"Gu Sheng! Have you seen it?! No matter how fast you grow and how high your talent is, in the face of such absolute power, you are just a chicken and a dog! The luck of this world is destined to belong to me, Xiao Beixuan!
Today, you will definitely die! Great Desolation City is also destined to be destroyed! When the true demon lord has slaughtered hundreds of millions of creatures in the city, the remaining blood and Soul Power will be enough to help me break through the barriers and step into the realm of the venerable! By then, among the younger generation Eastern Wasteland, who can compete with me?! Hahaha!"
Amid his wild laughter, the true demonic shadow known as "Tianmingzi" became more and more solid, and the pressure it exuded became more and more powerful like a snowball!
It hadn't even officially taken action yet. It was just the pressure that it unconsciously exuded, like an invisible millstone. It shook some of the king-level warriors in the distance who were lucky enough to survive and tried to struggle, together with their body-protecting aura, to the point where their bodies collapsed and turned into a cloud of miserable blood mist, blending into this bloody world!
There are more and more cracks on Gu Sheng's body. Glazed Golden Body's light dims sharply and is on the verge of collapse! The shadow of death is stronger than ever!
However, at this extremely critical moment--
A clear and long sigh, as if spanning endless time, with a somewhat ethereal and lonely sigh, suddenly, as if coming from behind the shadow of the real demon, and as if coming from the long river of time in the dark.
"Alas..."
As this sigh sounded, Destiny Star Plate, which had been silent in Gu Sheng's waist, burst out with unprecedented brilliance without warning!
The light was pure and vast, as if it contained the trajectory of the stars in the sky and the true meaning of destiny. It instantly enveloped Gu Sheng, temporarily resisting the terrifying oppression of demonic power!
"This is... Senior Si Ming's voice!"
Gu Sheng was shocked and immediately recognized the source of the sound! It was the last generation of commanders who had died in ancient times and had conversations with him across time and space!
Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice, which was calm but contained supreme majesty, echoed clearly through Destiny Star Plate in the world shrouded in demonic energy. Its target was directed at the ten thousand-foot-long demonic figure.
"The real demon from outside the territory, Tianmingzi. I, the contemporary commander, have been ordered by the ancient emperor to control destiny, monitor the heavens, and suppress the order of the ages. You have crossed the line."
This voice is not loud, but it seems to contain some kind of supreme power of rules, and it follows the rules!
"Si Ming?! Impossible! The inheritance of this line has long been cut off! The ancient Imperial Court has also collapsed! Who are you?! How dare you pretend to be Si Ming?!"
The true devil's mind, which was originally indifferent and regarded all living beings as ants, suddenly shook violently for the first time when it heard the word "Si Ming" and "Ancient Emperor's Mandate", and its voice was filled with incredible surprise!
Xiao Beixuan, who was almost breathless under the pressure of the demonic power, saw this sudden change and heard that the real demon seemed to be contained. He suddenly became extremely anxious and urged in a hissing voice.
"Monarch! Kill Gu Sheng! Ignore those people who are pretending to be magic! Hurry!"
However, the true demon king known as Tianmingzi seemed not to hear Xiao Beixuan's cry at this moment.
Its huge, gradually consolidating demonic body has become illusory and transparent again at a speed visible to the naked eye! The terrifying pressure that originally weighed on the hearts of all living beings like a towering sacred mountain or a vast sea of stars has also receded quickly like the tide, becoming as light as a feather, as if it would dissipate invisible at any time!
Si Ming's ethereal and majestic voice sounded again, carrying an unquestionable sense of judgment.
"The long river of time cannot be disturbed. The iron rules of order cannot be exceeded. The true demon Tianmingzi is good at crossing the long river of time and intervening in the present world. His crimes should be... annihilated."
The moment the word "annihilation" falls--
There were no earth-shattering explosions or dazzling collisions of brilliance.
In the endless void, the true demon's shadow, which was tens of thousands of feet high, seemed to be gently wiped by an invisible big hand. Its huge demon body suddenly collapsed and disintegrated from head to toe, like a weathered sand sculpture, silently turning into the most primitive void energy and dissipating into the invisible!
The torn dark red sky curtain, the broken pieces seemed to go back in time, quickly flew back, filled up, and returned to their original state in the blink of an eye, revealing the blue sky and bright sunshine behind it.
The bloody aura that filled the world also dissipated, as if the scene of destruction just now was just a realistic dream.
Only on the ruins of Phoenix Town below, the pool of dark red blood that gathered into streams and soaked the earth, still silently proved that a disaster that could sweep the entire Eastern Wasteland had really happened.
Gu Sheng held on to his nearly broken body, staring intently at the sky that was rapidly recovering.
At the moment before the sky was about to completely close, he was so blessed that he ignored the weakness of his soul and violently exploded his concentrated mental power, trying to send an urgent thought towards the void and the direction from which the commanding voice came.
"Senior Si Ming! Junior Gu Sheng! Senior may hear it?!"
However, his thoughts were lost in the ocean and he received no response.
When the sky was completely restored and the sun shone on the earth again, the Destiny Star Plate light around his waist slowly became restrained. His body shook slightly, and a subtle thought that seemed to carry a hint of exhaustion was introduced into Gu Sheng's mind. It was Siming's voice, but it was even more ethereal than before.
"You... have my aura... and are deeply entangled with cause and effect..."
"However, it is the duty of the Ming lineage to suppress all those who exceed the rules... We ourselves need to abide by the rules and not interfere too much in the current world..."
"Your questions... I am not in a position to answer them... everything... is within your own exploration..."
The sound stopped abruptly. No matter how Gu Sheng sensed it, Destiny Star Plate had no response.
'At this moment... maybe she still doesn't know about the conversation she will have with me across time and space in the future? Or, because of some rule restrictions, she cannot communicate directly with the 'past' me?' Gu Sheng's mind was racing, 'This Destiny Star Plate, I'm afraid there is a deeper secret hidden...'
He forcibly dismissed these distracting thoughts, and his eyes instantly turned to Xiao Beixuan not far away.
At this moment, the arrogance and pride on Xiao Beixuan's face had long since disappeared, replaced by dullness, confusion, and... boundless fear!
He stared blankly at the restored sky, and then at the bloody ruins created by his own hands at his feet, as if he could not accept this sudden reversal.
"No... gone? The ancient true demon... disappeared?"
He muttered to himself, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I... my capital for blood rebirth... is gone...Great Desolation Sacred Academy... They will never let me go..."
His original plan was to use the power of the ancient true demon to destroy Great Desolation City in one fell swoop, and deal with Gu Sheng at the same time, and use the massive energy and blood generated by City Slaughter to force Soul Power to break through the Venerable Realm. By then, even if the Holy Court pursues him, he will have some ability to protect himself.
But now... the real demon was driven away by a mysterious voice and was directly wiped out. All his plans came to nothing in an instant! What awaits him will be the merciless liquidation of the Holy Court!
The huge fear was like a cold poisonous snake, instantly wrapping around his heart!
"Escape! You must escape immediately!"
This idea grew like a weed in his mind!
However, at the moment when the demonic energy in his body was just surging, he was ready to tear apart the space and escape at all costs--
"Buzz!"
A spiritual energy as vast as the sea and extremely pure seemed to come from nine days away, instantly shattering the void and turning into an extremely condensed cyan light pillar. Like a spear of judgment, it struck Xiao Beixuan's chest with incomparable precision!
"Pfft--!"
Xiao Beixuan suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of dirty blood, and the demonic energy around him instantly collapsed like a punctured balloon, and the ferocious demonized form also began to fade away rapidly.
His whole body was pinned in the air by the terrifying power contained in the cyan light beam. He could not even move a finger, and his face was full of despair and unwillingness!
From the western horizon, a panic-stricken voice, as powerful as the sky, containing endless righteousness and chilling meaning, rolled in like thunder from the sky, resounding deep in everyone's soul.
"Xiao Beixuan! I am a human race, but I have fallen into the trap of practicing Demon heresy, slaughtering and devouring my own race, and colluding with the ancient true demons to disrupt the rules and order of the world. My sins are so heinous that they are too numerous to mention! You should be punished by God and will be severely punished!"
This voice seemed to contain the power of rules that follow the words. The moment the words fell, Xiao Beixuan was nailed in the air by the cyan beam of light. He felt that the space around him was completely solidified, as if he had been thrown into ten thousand years of black ice, and even the flow of demonic energy in his body was completely stopped!
He didn't even have a chance to crush the Great Teleportation Talisman that had been prepared for his life before he was completely imprisoned, like a mosquito in amber. Only his eyes could move in fear and his mouth could still make sounds.
"Who?! Who?! Hiding one's head and showing one's tail, what kind of skill is that? How dare you come out!"
Xiao Beixuan screamed fiercely, his voice distorted by extreme fear. He could feel that a killing intent that was far more pure and irresistible than the real demonic pressure just now had firmly locked onto him!
In the direction of Great Desolation City, the remaining strong men followed the sound one after another.
All I could see was the western sky. The originally blue sky seemed to be rendered by invisible forces, exuding a peaceful aura.
Hundreds of airships with simple shapes, flowing with crystal light, and exuding a powerful and orthodox atmosphere are slowly approaching, like heavenly soldiers and generals descending. Wherever the airship passes, the demonic energy dissipates and the blood disappears, as if it carries the power to purify all the filth in the world.
And at the front of these hundreds of flying boats, a middle-aged man wearing simple white clothes with an ordinary face, but giving people a feeling of being as steady as a mountain and as high as the blue sky, stood with his hands behind his back.
He was holding a seemingly ordinary three-foot green-edged sword in his hand. His figure looked small against the huge flying boat, but in the eyes of all those who sensed its existence, he seemed to be a giant towering over the sky! Especially the green-edged sword in his hand, which had never been unsheathed, made people feel as if it represented the will of heaven and acted on behalf of heaven. Looking at it made him feel awe-inspiring, and he dared not look directly at it!
"Saint Realm!"
Gu Sheng raised his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and he instantly judged the state of the person coming.
Moreover, it is not as simple as entering the holy realm for the first time! A warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart, and without any hesitation, with a thought, the Destiny Star Plate in his waist that had just calmed down instantly turned into a glimmer of light.
He directly absorbed it into the deepest part of his consciousness sea, and used his own pure Soul Power to place dozens of seals layer by layer, completely isolating and hiding its aura!
That man in white is none other than one of the top forces of the Central Continent, the contemporary sword master of Heavenly Sword Sacred Land—Ju Que!
Ju Que took one step, and the void beneath his feet seemed to automatically shorten, and he instantly appeared between Gu Sheng and the trapped Xiao Beixuan.
His eyes first faintly glanced at Gu Sheng, who was covered in blood, with a weak breath but calm eyes. A trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes, and then, his sharp eyes as sharp as a sword fell on Xiao Beixuan, who was tightly imprisoned.
"Xiao Beixuan, your crime has been punished by heaven and earth. Are you convinced that I am punishing you on behalf of heaven?"
Ju Que's voice is plain, but it carries an unquestionable sense of final judgment.
Xiao Beixuan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, wanting to curse, but found that an invisible sword intent had already enveloped him, as if if he dared to say even half a disrespectful word, his head would be gone and his soul would be scattered!
There was a "gurgling" sound in his throat, and his face turned purple from holding back, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word, leaving only boundless fear spreading in his eyes.
