When God Kings suddenly began battling in the Fa Yuan Realm after a century of silence, Gu Yuanqing knew another storm was about to begin.
Moreover, although he had never united with the Fa Yuan Realm's Great Dao, having already touched the Golden Immortal realm, his mind had grown clearer. His Void Piercing Heavenly Eye could glimpse certain hazy heavenly secrets amid billions of tangled threads of karma.
He could vaguely sense that the battle before him might mark the true beginning of the great Calamity in this Rule Divine Artifact world.
With the North Spring Realm's aid, his Celestial Immortal cultivation was enough to protect himself before God Kings, but safeguarding the entire Qian Yuan Realm would likely still prove difficult.
Indeed, during the Immortal Mountain Trial, even without drawing on any of the North Spring Realm's power, Gu Yuanqing had been able to fight the Jun Tian God King,
and the Abyss-Suppressing God King without defeat. But neither of those two God Kings had drawn on the power of any Rule Divine Artifact either.
Upper rule divine artifacts bore the Great Dao. Their vast power possessed boundless might, and even Gu Yuanqing regarded them with considerable wariness.
Xuan Ming's avatar back then had not truly possessed a God King's power, for the Ancient God's will it bore was limited, as was the power it could draw from the Rule Divine Artifact.
A true God King, however, could wield the Rule Divine Artifact itself!
That would be equivalent to having the power of an entire Great Dao from the vast Rule Divine Artifact world bestowed upon him. A moment's thought was enough to understand how immense that power would be.
Of course, no God King would do such a thing under ordinary circumstances.
Even Qin Wentian's battle with the
