On the scene!
All the strange phenomena dissipated, and the deafening heavenly sounds gradually faded away.
Everything seemed to have returned to peace.
But naturally, Gu Changqing was the one all living beings cared about most.
His face was pale, his aura disordered and fluctuating without cease.
His eyes, too, revealed an exhaustion he could not conceal.
Even though he was still frantically gulping down wine.
He could hardly recover his former condition in an instant.
Above his head, the radiance of the Merit Golden Wheel had also grown exceedingly dim.
It looked as though it might shatter at any moment.
Clearly, the final strike from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment had still subjected him to immense pressure.
But this was already enough to shake the world and leave everyone aghast.
"Gu Changqing... didn't perish?"
"He really endured it! He faced Heavenly Punishment head-on and survived."
"Hiss... the Wine Sword Immortal is unquestionably the first in all the ages."
"What terrifying Heavenly Punishment, but the Merit Golden Wheel is even more terrifying."
"Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable."
Indeed!
Gu Changqing was still alive.
That alone was an utterly astonishing, unbelievable outcome to all living beings.
The first in all the ages!
Such praise was not excessive in the slightest!
Tongtian was so overwhelmed with excitement that tears welled in his fierce eyes, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"That brat... that damned brat..."
He could only murmur those words instinctively.
What a magnificent sight this was!
Under the scrutiny of countless trillions of living beings, Gu Changqing had rendered even the Eye of Heavenly Punishment helpless with that drunken, devil-may-care bearing of his.
As a Sage, Tongtian's heart should have been as still as water.
Yet at this moment, he felt the blood qi within him boiling, impossible to calm.
