The Old God appeared
I Became an Immortal in the Mountain (Chapter 1142)
With the Heaven and Earth Stele suppressing the source of the Great Dao in their respective Boundary Domain, the expansion of the North Spring Realm has undoubtedly slowed down.
But this slowness is only compared to before.
Once the North Spring Realm took over numerous Exquisite Realm Domain, Floating World, and countless Small World, its dominance was assured!
While its power may not be as vast as the current Fa Yuan Realm, its nascent world possesses limitless potential, a perfect and active Great Dao, and is full of vitality, far surpassing the Great Dao of the gradually Decay Dao Profound Universe Realm.
Moreover, there is another crucial reason: the North Spring Realm itself is based on the Great Dao of the Profound Universe Realm. Although it underwent Transformation after absorbing the Great Dao from the Outer Realm, it still shares the same origin as the Great Dao of the Profound Cosmos Great World.
The Profound Universe Realm itself does not suppress the North Spring Realm in the same way it suppressed the invasion of Outer Dao; everything can only be blocked by Great Simplicity using the Heaven and Earth Stele.
However, Great Simplicity himself could not fully control the Heaven and Earth Stele; he was merely a spirit residing within Heaven and Earth Stele and could only borrow a portion of its power.
Therefore, although the Profound Universe Realm is strong, it is a disorganized mess; while the North Spring Realm is slightly inferior, it is united as one.
The best opportunity for them to stop Gu Yuanqing would be before the North Spring Realm gained control of the Exquisite World, when they could suppress all of the North Spring Realm's power within a limited area.
Unfortunately, they missed that opportunity.
Or rather, Gu Yuanqing minimized the probability of this possible variable. The battle in the Origin Dao Sea ultimately restrained the minds of Great Simplicity and the Old God, causing a temporary loss of control over the Outer Realm.
In that short time, the outcome was decided.
It's like a dam holding back a flood. If you reinforce it before it breaks, it's much easier. But once it partially collapses, it will expand rapidly in a short time, and it will be extremely difficult to salvage.
This is the current situation. Great Simplicity is unable to completely stop the expansion of the North Spring Realm. His only option is to defeat the North Spring Realm.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
The Profound Universe Realm is vast and boundless, and the expansion of the North Spring Realm is rapidly spreading in all directions. This trend will become increasingly immense over time.
The stalemate in Tianfang Domain will not affect the overall progress of the war!
Great Simplicity also sensed this, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.
This time, it was obvious that Gu Yuanqing was much stronger, managing to block the power of the Heaven and Earth Stele.
Even as he channeled more and more power into this area, one hand remained as immovable as a pillar supporting the sky!
Suddenly, Great Simplicity looked up at the Nine Heavens above.
Gu Yuanqing also frowned slightly, but suddenly noticed that the Decay Dao power in the Profound Universe Realm seemed to have become much denser!
This is a sign of the further awakening of the power of the Old God!
The God King of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, including Cangwu, Jun Tian, and Heavenly Law, felt a sudden increase in pressure, and cracks appeared on the Divine Path Barrier.
The power of the Final End seemed to be boiled, unleashing a monstrous wave.
Guixu Heavenly Abyss itself is also slowly expanding.
The three men's expressions turned solemn, divine light ignited on their bodies, and the phantom of the Divine Kingdom appeared and disappeared. Even if the three of them worked together, they would have to exert all their strength to suppress it.
Great Simplicity suddenly turned to look at Gu Yuanqing and said in a deep voice, "Daoist Friend, you should have also felt these changes. Xuangen has awakened more power. If he truly emerges, this world will probably reach its Final End in just tens of thousands of years. Do you really want to disregard all living beings in the world for your own selfish desires?"
Gu Yuanqing calmly said, "Even if I didn't take action, he would have emerged sooner or later. I was just trying to find another way for the living beings of this world to survive. If Daoist Friend Great Simplicity truly cared about all living beings, he shouldn't have Lower Realm mortal realm to stop me, but instead used all his power to suppress the Old God."
If Daoist Friend Great Simplicity is willing to help suppress the Old God, I, Gu, may be able to completely take over this world before it is reborn, thus resolving the calamity before it even begins. This would be Merit."
Upon hearing this, Great Simplicity remained silent and began to form hand Hand Seal.
Above the Nine Heavens, within the Origin Dao Sea, a ray of light shone down.
The Myriad Dao River of the Great Dao River flowed down like a burst dam, cascading onto the monument.
The phantom of the giant monument quickly solidified into a physical form. As the Innate Dao Patterns flowed, spherical phantom worlds appeared around the Heaven and Earth Stele Heaven and Earth Stele, slowly rotating around it.
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Stele seemed to have completely transformed into the center of Heaven and Earth, descending with the power of the entire world.
The previously stalemate changed again, and the enormous hand that North Spring Realm had extended seemed unable to withstand the force and slowly retracted.
A faint hum began to resonate throughout the entire North Spring Realm. Gu Yuanqing's hair and clothes danced without wind, and his expression turned serious at that moment.
In the Heavenly Human World, the Great Dao revolves, and the World Force Empowerment the body. The hand holding the Heaven and Earth Stele slightly bends, and a point of light blooms in the palm.
Myriad Dao Returns to Ruin!
This point of light rapidly expanded, releasing boundless radiance. All the Great Dao shattered, and the innate Heavenly God at the base of the Heaven and Earth Stele crumbled.
After the Divine Mark shattered, the body of the Heaven and Earth Stele also began to suffer continuous damage, crumbling inch by inch.
Gu Yuanqing, who was already at the Half-Step Great Luo level, used the power of the North Spring Realm to surpass his limits with this Divine Ability, and completely reached the Great Luo level.
The Myriad Dao Returns to Ruin" not only caused the collapse of all paths, but also annihilated them from their very origin and fundamental level, turning the very foundation of their existence into Void.
"How is this possible!"
Great Simplicity's expression changed completely. Even when he faced Xuangen at his peak, he was more shocked than he was now.
Although what has arrived here is not the actual Heaven and Earth Stele, it can still display its power under the Empowerment the power of Heaven and Earth and the pouring of the Dao River.
Xuangen was indeed capable of breaking through the power of the Heaven and Earth Stele, but this attack was completely different from what he had just delivered today.
As Supreme Divine Artifact, its power stands at the Peak of this world; even God Lord would find it difficult to destroy Heaven and Earth at the level of the Great Dao and the origin.
The power of the monument, but Gu Yuanqing's Divine Ability gave him this feeling.
Moreover, his attack just now came at a great cost. He had to choose between stopping the expansion of the North Spring Realm and defeating Gu Yuanqing here, thus bringing together the forces that were originally scattered in various places to this one place!
This means that the forces that originally blocked the North Spring Realm have almost disappeared. How could the power of these Small World withstand the North Spring Realm's devouring? The expansion that had been somewhat halted quickly submerged one world after another like a flood breaking through a dam.
And the power of the North Spring Realm surged once again!
The Myriad Dao Returns to Ruin Power continued to shatter the power projected from the Heaven and Earth Stele, and the Innate Dao Patterns themselves were obliterated.
At first, the process was somewhat slow, but gradually the rate of destruction increased, until finally it swept away everything in its path, completely engulfing the entire Heaven and Earth Stele.
Even Great Simplicity's Avatar that descended to the Lower Realm were submerged!
The power of the North Spring Realm Dao Domain, which had been forced back by the arrival of the Heaven and Earth Stele, expanded outward at an even faster speed, invading the Fa Yuan Realm and seizing control of the Fa Yuan Realm from the Rule Divine Artifact Dao.
The Great Dao River of the North Spring Realm began to spread towards the Fa Yuan Realm. The torrent of the Great Dao flowed into the Fa Yuan Realm and followed the original Great Dao River of the Fa Yuan Realm, aiming to bring more regions into its own Great Dao network.
Gu Yuanqing's eyes grew brighter and brighter, his mind almost entirely focused on the clash between his Divine Ability and the power of the Heaven and Earth Stele.
Every change in their clash was a power at the Great Luo level, containing the mysteries of the Way of Space-Time.
This was a valuable resource for him, who was already at the Half-Step Great Luo level.
The changes within this world contain the clash between the World Origin. Every change seems to exhaust all the fundamental principles of the Great Dao, containing the most primordial mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
This Divine Ability is itself a condensation of his own Great Dao, and the clash between the two is a testament to his own Great Dao.
Let them see their own shortcomings!
At that moment, I felt as if I had taken another step closer to Great Luo.
"I'm still a little short. Perhaps the moment I completely devour this world will be the moment I Achieving the Dao!"
The road ahead seemed to be fully revealed before Gu Yuanqing.
The Heaven and Earth Stele's shadow was completely sealed, and Great Simplicity's Avatar also turned into Void. The slight displeasure he felt when he had to back down and release the Demon Lord and the God King Wuxiang who were about to be suppressed because of Tai's descent vanished into thin air. His mind was clear and there were no more obstacles!
With the shattering of the illusory image of the Heaven and Earth Stele, everyone in the Tianfang Domain instantly regained their senses.
Jiang Yunchuan was further away, was stunned.
"Is this... the shattering of Heaven and Earth?"
Even the Jun Tian God King and others who were watching from Nine Heavens were shocked!
As God King, they naturally saw it more clearly and understood even more what the Heaven and Earth Stele was. They could also feel the immense power that Great Simplicity had displayed when he used his Divine Ability abilities.
Heaven and Earth and earth poured forth their power, Rule Divine Artifact Power Empowerment, as if the entire world was pressing down upon them.
But even so, it was no match for the fair hand that emerged from the Mountain.
Is Gu Yuanqing truly Half-Step God Lord?
The three of them couldn't help but exchange a glance.
The more they learned about Gu Yuanqing, the less they could understand him.
"If he is truly Outer Dao, what should we do?" Heavenly Law God King couldn't help but ask.
The God King Cangwu gazed at the Nine Heavens below, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying, "Let's observe quietly. After all, there's nothing we can do. Even such great power can be defeated, let alone us mere God King."
Things have come to this point, and their course is far beyond our control. All we can do is defend this area; the rest is up to fate.
At least he said he was Human Race and had a past connection with our Divine Court, so he shouldn't cause us any trouble!
The Jun Tian God King also fell silent. He never expected that one day he would hear Cangwu say that he was just a mere God King, but upon reflection, it was indeed true.
"Gu Yuanqing ----" Heavenly God was somewhat complicated.
Suddenly, all three of them changed their expressions, because they sensed some changes in the Fa Yuan Realm and felt that the power of the Rule Divine Artifact they controlled seemed to be affected by some kind of force.
At this moment, they felt that their Indestructibility Divine Soul had undergone a mysterious change, as if the power of the Final End, which had been suppressed within the Barrier, had become entangled on their Great Dao.
Die!
Yes, they seemed to sense the approach of death, and felt that their originally endless Lifespan had suddenly come to an end.
"Old God!"
They understood instantly.
Gu Yuanqing naturally sensed this power as well; or rather, the moment he sensed it, Dao Body appeared above the Fuyuan Mountain Range.
When it appeared, the Heaven and Earth seemed to stand still.
The power of the North Spring Realm Dao Domain that had spread out was forcibly pushed aside and separated to both sides as its Divine Path domain expanded.
The Great Dao River of the Fa Yuan Realm extended in once more, swirling around this aged figure.
"Your name is Gu Yuanqing?" The old man's gaze fell on Gu Yuanqing, his eyes seemingly filled with surprise and inquiry, as if he had seen something new.
Gu Yuanqing calmly said, "You must be the Old God Xuangen?"
"Old God? Heh, so that's what you call me. But it's not entirely wrong." The old man nodded, then extended a finger and hooked it. A wisp of power from the expanding North Spring Realm Dao Domain was drawn over and hovered on his finger. His eyes lit up slightly. "The newly born Heavenly Realm, containing the Great Dao of infinite vitality, is truly something to reminisce about."
You must not be very old, yet you manage to control such a world. You are far more fortunate than I was back then.
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Perhaps."
The old man continued, "Your world's Great Dao has the flavor of the Profound Universe Realm. The Profound Universe Realm itself has never rejected the invasion of the world you control. Therefore, this world must have grown from the foundation of this world. I wonder if my speculation is correct?"
"Good eye!" Gu Yuanqing's eyes flickered slightly. The other party had only just made contact with him, yet he had already seen through the essence of the North Spring Realm. This alone showed how profound his cultivation was.
The old man exclaimed in admiration, "I thought that through countless Reincarnation I had already comprehended everything about this world, but I never imagined that such changes could still occur. You should not be from the Outer Realm, but rather a native of this world. However, you are not following the Divine Path, but the Immortal Path."
"As expected of someone who has lived through countless Reincarnation." Gu Yuanqing also praised, without hiding or refuting, because it was pointless, and Cultivator at this level would only trust their own judgment.
"In fact, during my cultivation journey, I also saw the inheritance of the Immortal Path in this world. Unfortunately, the path ahead was already cut off. When I achieved success in my cultivation, my foundation was already set, and there was no possibility of change. Although I became God Lord, I was also trapped in the Karma of this world. You are indeed much luckier than me." The old man's gaze was leisurely, as if recalling the past, and there seemed to be a trace of envy in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yuanqing.
Gu Yuanqing said, "Everyone has their own destiny. You have lived through countless Reincarnation, making you infinitely more fortunate than most people."
The old man smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true. To be honest, I am indeed lucky. The path of fate is hard to explain. You came to this world and ended up in front of me. Isn't that also my destiny?"
Gu Yuanqing laughed and nodded, saying, "Indeed, the North Spring Realm and the Profound Universe Realm share the same origin. If you can defeat me, you will..."
By seizing it, one can rebuild the foundation of the Great Dao in this world, escape the entanglement of Decay Dao, and find an opportunity for transcendence!
