The Devil Subduing Realm.
At the summit of the majestic mountain, a waterfall plunges down, crashing and shattering into pieces, then transforming into foamy spring water that flows endlessly.
A man sat at a stone table near the waterfall, his hands, clad in golden armor and gloves, holding a cup of tea, leisurely sipping it.
Gu Xinglan!
Sitting opposite him was an old man in a white robe. He looked at the former, hesitant to speak, and appeared worried.
" Elder Bai, just say what you have to say. Are you congratulating me on returning to the top of the Heavenly Ranking?"
Gu Xinglan smiled.
Elder Bai frowned with worry. "Lord of the Realm, please stop cultivating those demonic arts!"
Gu Xinglan said calmly, "Look at the Heavenly Ranking, look at my cultivation level. How many people in this world can compare? I have gained some things, and I will inevitably lose some. Don't be too greedy. Just take it easy."
Elder Bai shook his head, his emotions running high, and said, "But you only have fifty years left to live! You could have sought the Great Dao of Longevity! And now? It's all because of those damned Secret Method, those are just bloodsucking parasites! They're causing you to Qi Deviation, eroding your life, and harming your intelligence!"
"It's not that serious... Immortality... What's so good about immortality? The longer you live, the more you know, and the more suffering you experience... It's better to use your limited lifespan to do something extraordinary, to be recorded in history, and to be remembered for eternity."
Gu Xinglan took a sip of tea calmly.
Elder Bai shook his head and sighed softly, "From the day you founded the Devil Subduing Realm, I've followed you and served you. I've always believed you were a powerful person, and that following you meant there would be plenty to eat! But now..."
Gu Xinglan said, "But now, you're wavering, aren't you?"
Elder Bai said, "I think you've changed!"
Gu Xinglan suddenly sneered, "Don't you know why I created the Devil Subduing Realm in the first place? Because of Xuan Li! My Xuan Li was killed by the Devil Race! Even though the Heavenly Devil Race was destroyed, the other Devil Race are still here! Xuan Li hasn't woken up yet!"
"Now, after so many years of painstaking effort, I'm about to realize my dream, and you're wavering? Then leave! Even if the Three Lords betray me, I won't blink an eye. My power alone is enough to shake the entire Origin Realm. I have nothing to fear!"
Elder Bai was furious at the accusations, but he was helpless. In his eyes, Gu Xinglan was like a rebellious daughter. He was angry, but he couldn't bear to say anything.
"If the elder has nothing else to do, then go do your duty!" Gu Xinglan issued the order to dismiss.
"Isn't it too fast?" Elder Bai asked with concern.
"Time waits for no one! I can no longer stop! Now, Lu Yinjian and the Imperial Evil Lord have been lured away from their stronghold, and the Imperial Evil Realm is just an empty shell. Elder, mobilize the troops! I'm going to launch a surprise attack on the Imperial Evil Realm!"
Gu Xinglan said.
From the moment Lord Lieyang appeared in the Heavenly Gu Emperor Python Race, it was all part of Gu Xinglan's scheme.
She then dispatched Lord Haoyuan Lord Fenglan, along with a sufficient number of troops from the Devil Subduing Realm, to signal to the Xuanji Alliance that a major war was imminent.
This plan successfully lured Lu Yinjian and his companion out of their hiding place. In other words, apart from the Seven Heroes of Chi Ling, Leng Hanyu, and Yu, there are no other particularly strong forces guarding the Imperial Evil Realm now.
Although Leng Hanyu and the others are powerful, the consequences of a battle against Gu Xinglan, who is at the level of Indestructible Saint Lord, are unimaginable!
And that's exactly what Gu Xinglan wanted!
Since the situation was beyond saving, Elder Bai, though willing, had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
After he left, Gu Xinglan took out a thick book.
This book is quite peculiar; it is made entirely of bones, which are so worn that they have lost all their luster and have a dull, floury texture.
" The Emperor Xun's Secret Art "!
This is the most powerful Secret Method she has been cultivating all along!
This is a Secret Method used to create the bones of an emperor named "Xun" after his death.
With each chapter a cultivator completes, their bones decay a little more, until finally, when the entire Secret Method is mastered, the book will completely lose its power.
This is a Secret Method that cannot be passed down!
Only those destined to receive it can obtain it!
Gu Xinglan reached out and brushed the Book of Bones, then flicked his fingertip, and the parts of the book fell to the ground with a clatter, turning into dust and dissipating on their own without any wind.
" Xuan Li, fight alongside me... Let us rebuild order and make the Origin Realm our kingdom..."
Gu Xinglan murmured.
A moment later, she got up and left, leaving only the sound of the waterfall echoing in the valley.
That day, Gu Xinglan led a million-strong army from the Devil Subduing Realm in a surprise attack on the Imperial Evil Realm...
The third battlefield.
The fierce battle is ongoing.
The disparity in combat strength here is huge, and everyone is having a very hard time fighting.
Gu Yuan, Cong Yun, and Yu Qingzhu restrained Lord Lieyang. However, among the three of them, Yu Qingzhu and Cong Yun were at the Indestructible Saint Lord Sixth Stage, Gu Yuan's strength was somewhat lower, and Lord Lieyang was the fourth Indestructible Saint Emperor on the Heavenly Ranking! Therefore, it was extremely difficult for them to maneuver.
A Ning Feng Jia were also there, and their combat power was on a completely different level.
But A Ning has a clever trick up her sleeve!
She summoned a million Heavenly Gu Emperor Python, a dense swarm of venomous snakes that descended from the sky, forming a pitch-black sea of snakes that frantically sprayed venom at Lord Lieyang.
Lord Lieyang had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
Yu Qingzhu was an expert in using poison. After discovering that Lord Lieyang was very wary of the poison, he flicked his wrist and a poison sword, completely tempered by the poison, was quietly drawn.
"Go!"
Yu Qingzhu shouted sharply.
The poison sword grew ten zhang in length, carrying terrifying poisonous gas, and rushed straight at Lord Lieyang, directly corroding his protective aura.
Lord Lieyang threw a punch, shattering the poisoned sword, but the broken blades still managed to cut him!
"Hateful!"
Lord Lieyang, with his fiery temper, could not tolerate this. He roared, and instantly a terrifying aura swept over. His body suddenly grew larger, becoming a hundred-foot giant, and he crushed countless people with a single stomp!
He raised his terrifying fist and smashed it towards Yu Qingzhu and the others. Each time his fist landed, it created a large crater.
A Ning found herself in danger multiple times!
Lord Lieyang was about to press his index finger down on her.
A phantom finger, wreathed in terrifying killing intent, surged forth like a raging flood, impossible to avoid.
A Ning hurriedly summoned countless venomous snakes to block her way, forming a sturdy snake shield.
However, the power of the illusory finger was far beyond imagination!
The venomous snakes couldn't withstand the pressure from the rushing air and exploded one after another.
A huge shadow loomed over A Ning's head.
The shadow was getting closer and closer.
This moment!
A streak of silvery-blue light flew in from the horizon!
Its shadow is like a rainbow in the sky!
Suddenly, countless Sword Qi erupted, an overwhelming surge of Sword Qi!
Cherished Wine Cup Sword!
The sword pierced through Lord Lieyang's heart, causing his body to shrink rapidly. After returning to its normal size, Cherished Wine Cup Sword also returned to its normal size.
With a burst of Sword Qi, Lord Lieyang's body exploded with a deafening roar. His soul was also shattered into dust by the overwhelming Sword Intent, No Life.
