I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 857 If I don't kill them, I won't have peace of mind!
All paths return to the abyss!

The myriad paths surrounding Yin Jiuming collapsed, and all kinds of power returned to nothingness.

The hall emitted a faint light, but it could not withstand the divine power of this palm strike; the faint light was extinguished in an instant.

Gu Yuanqing's palm strike landed on the body of the hall.

hum!
The hall shook violently, and the runes on its surface were activated, transforming into a barrier. Fine cracks immediately appeared on the barrier, and finally, with a soft "poof," the barrier shattered, and the twisted runes broke apart and disappeared into the hall.

Boom!

The entire hall receded backward, then shrank instantly, transforming into its original form.

Yin Jiuming spat out a mouthful of blood and fled in panic using his escape technique.

Gu Yuanqing raised his sword and made a stroke.

The Great Extinction Sword cleaved through the void and struck his body.

Its body was severed at the waist, and then dissipated into extremely yin energy, which it then tried to escape again.

Sword energy transformed into threads, weaving into a net, crisscrossing and intertwining.

With a scream, the celestial world appeared, and then it was about to disappear into the void.

Last time, Yin Jiuming escaped from the Celestial World, and it was obvious that his clone used his divine soul to connect with the Celestial World and bring him back.

This time, how could Gu Yuanqing let him escape again?

He raised his hand and grabbed, using the Dao of Space to imprison it, and then used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull it directly back into the Northern Spring Cave.

With just two casual moves, he completely killed Li Youhe, causing the expressions of the several evil cultivators to change drastically.

Gu Yuanqing is incredibly powerful!

This is within the Five Absolutes Spirit Locking Array. Any cultivator who enters will be suppressed by the array, and even the power of magic weapons will be greatly reduced. This is why righteous cultivators, despite being stronger, find it difficult to break through.

However, this formation seemed to have no effect on Gu Yuanqing whatsoever.

That would be a big problem.

If you can kill Li Youhe, you can kill them too.

The four evil cult leaders had no illusions whatsoever. Although the Chaotic Undying Realm was said to be able to be reborn from a drop of blood and to contain divine essence in a microparticle, in the face of a true Void Immortal, immortality was just empty talk!
In the face of life and death, the four did not hesitate. They instantly increased their speed to the limit, burned their source energy, and transformed into four streaks of light, escaping in different directions!

They knew that if they gathered together, they would be wiped out; only by dispersing could they have a chance of survival.

Gu Yuanqing's indifferent gaze swept over them, and a faint light rippled beside him as another clone stepped out.

Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, used the Dao of Space to catch up with the fastest runners, the Heavenly Maiden of Wonderful Sound and the Heavenly Lord of Silent Annihilation, in just a few steps and blocked their way.

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sound was horrified to find Gu Yuanqing suddenly appear in front of her escape light.

She gritted her teeth and activated her secret technique at all costs. Her figure suddenly transformed into countless sound waves that alternated between reality and illusion, spreading in all directions. This was one of the most advanced escape techniques of the Blissful Sect - Heavenly Sound Transformation into Emptiness!
This supernatural power can disperse the soul and the immortal mark into the invisible rhythm and escape, which is truly mysterious and unpredictable.

However, Gu Yuanqing simply raised his hand and pressed down on the void where the sound waves rippled.

Space freezes, stop!

The space in that area instantly became as sharp as iron, and all the spreading sound waves seemed to crash into an invisible wall, forcibly imprisoned, and then compressed back into a small mass.

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sounds let out a muffled groan, her illusory figure solidifying once more, her face deathly pale.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, and with a sharp shriek, she unleashed her trump card to save her life!
A magical canopy shrouded in a pink halo rose from the top of her head, showering her with celestial flowers and creating a myriad of illusions, protecting her all around.

At the same time, she bit her tongue and spat a mouthful of her primordial blood onto the Immortal Canopy. The canopy shone brightly and emitted a mesmerizing immortal sound. Under its control, it advanced instead of retreating and crashed into Gu Yuanqing's clone.

"Still dare to resist? Your courage is commendable." Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow and slapped him with his palm.

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sound suddenly formed a hand seal and said sternly, "Since you are unwilling to give me a way out, then let's die together!"

As the words were spoken, this ethereal artifact was suddenly ignited by a secret technique, its light becoming even more dazzling, as if it were about to self-destruct!
The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sounds understood perfectly well that she was no match for Gu Yuanqing with just this illusory immortal artifact. Only by self-destructing the artifact and severely injuring him could she have a sliver of hope.

Gu Yuanqing saw through it at a glance, his expression calm, and he drew a line in the air with his fingers like a sword.

The Sword of All-Encompassing Calamity, May All Realms Be Forever Secure!

The sword intent transformed into an invisible cage, reinforcing the spatial blockade and locking it firmly, forcefully suppressing the self-destructing illusory immortal artifact.

As the sword energy clashed, before the Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sound could even utter a sound, she was torn to pieces by the sword energy.

With a flick of his finger, the Chaotic Primordial Fire flew out, transforming into a sea of ​​fire that engulfed it.

Amidst the sizzling sounds, the blissful illusory light, the enchanting celestial music, and even the indestructible mark of the Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sound were all refined by the primordial fire and the spatial confinement.

The illusory immortal artifact, the Wonderful Music Immortal Banner, was pulled back to the Northern Spring Cave Heaven and suppressed by the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

At the same time, Gu Yuanqing's clone took another step forward, chasing after Ancestor Xuanji.

Not long after the Xuanji Ancestor flew out, he disappeared underground, using the Wuji Yin-Yang Mirror to disrupt the heavenly secrets and confuse Yin and Yang. His body almost merged with the earth's veins to conceal his aura.

However, Gu Yuanqing was also proficient in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape earth ...

With one step, he arrived above the ground where the Mysterious Ancestor had fled, and stomped his foot down forcefully.

The earth's spiritual energy trembled violently, and the disheveled figure of the Xuanji Ancestor was forcibly expelled from the earth, his face filled with horror.

This is not surprising. Gu Yuanqing is a mortal immortal. How can he compete with him in terms of control over the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?
"Brother Dao, it's all a misunderstanding. I was also deceived by that vixen Miaoyin. If you let me go today, the Wuji Sect will follow your lead from now on!" Ancestor Xuanji forced a smile and stopped coughing even at the critical moment of life and death.

Ancestor Wuji regretted getting involved in this matter. He had never sought trouble with Gu Yuanqing back then. He was only persuaded by the Heavenly Maiden Miaoyin because he was already nearing the end of his lifespan. But he never expected Gu Yuanqing to be so powerful.

Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Why don't I kill you first and then explain the misunderstanding to you?"

“Brother Daoist Immortal…” Ancestor Wuji seemed about to say more, but suddenly took out a Taiji Yin-Yang Mirror with a frame made of white bones.

With a flash of light, the mirror illuminated the void ahead, instantly reversing yin and yang, disrupting spatial orientation, and even distorting divine sense perception. The figure of the Wuji Ancestor suddenly vanished from the spot.

He used the Limitless Immortal Escape technique to leave, but in an instant he found that the direction he had fled from had been reversed, and he had instead crashed directly into the palm strike that Gu Yuanqing was raising.

Before he could speak, he was engulfed by the power of the Myriad Paths Returning to the Void. Then, with a grasp of the void, he followed in Li Youhe's footsteps and was pulled back to Beiquan Cave Heaven.

It would be a waste to kill and annihilate these chaotic and immortal evil cultivators. It is not Gu Yuanqing's habit to come all the way here, only to kill enemies and gain nothing.

And the other side.

The Lord of Annihilation rode the Annihilation Demon Blade, transforming into a gray line that cleaved through the void as he disappeared into the distance.

His cultivation level was the highest, even surpassing that of the Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Sound.

Seeing Gu Yuanqing blocking his way, his eyes were cold, his momentum remained unchanged, and he and his sword became one, tearing through the sky to slash at Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and made a half-clenching motion towards the incoming blade light.

This space seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, collapsing wildly toward a certain point in the center!
The blade's edge, powerful enough to annihilate all things, was like a bull stuck in the mud before this spatial power; its speed plummeted, and its power was rapidly dispersed and dissipated.

"break."

With a single, soft utterance, the dark blade's edge, like shattered glass, broke and dissipated inch by inch.

The Heavenly Lord of Annihilation stumbled out in a sorry state, but his expression remained indifferent. He wielded the Annihilation Demon Blade, unleashing a sky full of blade shadows. Each strike carried the destructive intent that would cause all things to wither. He brought his Undying Chaos cultivation, his own Dao of Annihilation, and the power of this demon blade to their extreme. Even Spirit Venerables with many treasures could only avoid his sharp edge.

Unfortunately, he encountered Gu Yuanqing, who did not give the Silent Heavenly Lord a chance, and formed a hand seal. An ancient and desolate phantom of the Northern Spring Town Seal flew out.

The seal grew larger as it faced the wind; though it was an illusory image, it exuded an aura of power to suppress everything.

Space froze, and the great road became stagnant.

Under the Zhenshi Seal, all laws will be at peace, and all evils will be warded off!

The power of this seal technique, when used now, is completely different from what it was before. Even without using the true North Spring World-Suppressing Seal, its power far exceeds the level that the Silent Heavenly Lord can withstand.

The countless, silent sword shadows melted away like snow meeting the blazing sun.

The Heavenly Lord of Annihilation felt that all his power was firmly locked and suppressed by the power of sealing, making him unable to move.

As the illusory image of the World-Suppressing Seal descended, the powerful physical body was reduced to nothingness inch by inch within the seal's light, leaving only a dim Dao principle mark and the now-untamed Demon Blade of Annihilation, which were swept up by the seal's light and fell into the sleeve of Gu Yuanqing's clone.

"Is it still a clone?" Gu Yuanqing frowned slightly, but did not linger there. He used the "Heaven and Earth Within Reach" technique again, took a few steps, and blocked Xue Mingzi's path.

As Xue Mingzi fled, he witnessed the death of the Silent Heavenly Lord.

When he saw Gu Yuanqing again, he threw out a large cauldron.

This cauldron is called the Myriad Transformations Blood God Cauldron, an artifact of a Void Immortal, and also his most treasured possession. He only brought it with him because he might be facing a Void Immortal.

He bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of his life essence onto the Myriad Transformations Blood God Cauldron.

The Blood Cauldron roared, spewing out a vast sea of ​​blood from its mouth, within which countless Blood God Sons rose and fell, roaring.

He himself exploded, turning into billions of blood lights that merged into the sea of ​​blood. Most of the sea of ​​blood rushed towards Gu Yuanqing, but a small portion scattered and tried to escape.

Each drop of blood is a clone of him, each containing an indelible mark.

From the fact that Gu Yuanqing caught up so quickly, he knew that he couldn't escape with his own escape techniques. Only by relying on the power of this illusory immortal artifact, as long as he could escape with a drop of blood, could he be reborn through the sea of ​​blood.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled lightly, and with a thought, the Myriad Manifestations of Calamity Control Array was activated.

Thousands of sword energies clashed and slashed towards the sea of ​​blood.

All realms are eternally secure, space is sealed, preventing any enemy from escaping.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the Chaotic Flame ignited, and the seemingly endless sea of ​​blood was quickly obliterated and evaporated.

The Myriad Transformations Blood God Cauldron emerged from the void. Xue Mingzi used his remaining power to control the cauldron, attempting to break through the sword formation space, but it was all in vain.

The sword formation contracted and imprisoned the enemy, before finally being pulled away by the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

From the moment the four fled separately to the moment Gu Yuanqing appeared in his clone and swiftly suppressed and killed them, the entire process, though seemingly complex, actually took only a dozen or so breaths.

When everything was done, the two clones merged, their breathing becoming steady.

While Gu Yuanqing was killing these evil cultivators, the Five Absolute Spirit Locking Formation lost its power due to the loss of its five core presiding officers.

How could Venerable Lingbao, Ji Shan, Li Qingyue, and others miss such an opportunity?

They employed various methods, either suppressing the array's core or destroying its base.

However, Gu Yuanqing returned too quickly, and they hadn't had time to break the formation.

The Spirit Venerable said softly, "Brother Gu, leave this formation to us. Your cultivation is profound, so you can advance and retreat without hindrance. Fellow Daoist Ji, you should go with Brother Gu. As long as we break the Myriad Banners Profound Netherworld Formation, we can pull that space back to the present world."

"Okay!" Ji Shan was about to fly over to meet up with Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly: "No rush! Let's clean this place up first."

Everyone was stunned.

However, it was his own clone that was trapped in the formation. Since Gu Yuanqing said so, there must be a reason for it. They exchanged a glance and then said nothing more.

Gu Yuanqing also participated in breaking the formation. His knowledge of formations was also quite strong. He exchanged a few words with Ji Shan and Xuanji Tianjun, and then they each made their own moves.

With his cultivation as a Void Immortal, the evil formation that covered tens of thousands of miles and held hundreds of millions of lives hostage was completely destroyed in no time.

The many civilians, living beings, and ordinary cultivators within the formation felt a sudden lightness in their bodies as the invisible oppressive feeling vanished, unaware that they had just narrowly escaped death.

In their minds, it was just a sudden fog, as if there was an earth-shattering event in the distance, but they didn't know that it was all closely related to them.

Some heretical cultivators at the heart of the formation were killed before they could escape.

At this time, the other cultivators and disciples of the Zhengyi Sect arrived by flying boat.

They dispersed and landed in various cities to purge the hidden heretical sects.

The fog gradually dissipated.

Several members of the righteous sects joined Gu Yuanqing.

"I am grateful to all of you fellow Daoists for coming to help me this time." Gu Yuanqing clasped his hands in a fist salute.

“Brother Gu, you flatter me!” The Spirit Venerable spoke first, saying with emotion, “Even if I cannot wait for you, with your extraordinary abilities, breaking this evil formation and killing this wicked creature would be as easy as turning your hand.”

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Gu's power as a Void Immortal is something we have only just witnessed in person today, and it is truly awe-inspiring." Li Qingyue and the others also cupped their hands in respect.

A few polite words.

Ji Shan said, "Brother Gu, why don't we go and take a look ahead first?"

The Spirit Lord said, "That's right, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

Seeing that they seemed even more anxious than he was, Gu Yuanqing said, "Alright."

The group walked forward together, and after a short while, they arrived outside the Myriad Banners Profound Nether Array.

Through the churning, ghostly mist and the distorted spatial barrier, the horrific state of the land cast into the underworld could be vaguely seen.

The once bustling city has been transformed into a desolate ghost realm, with the streets and houses filled with the distorted, bluish-black corpses of mortals.

Layer upon layer, it's enough to make your scalp tingle.

"Beasts! The Netherworld Sect has committed such heinous atrocities, they truly deserve to die!" Zhang Qingyue of the Zhengyi Sect glared at the enemy, gritting his teeth.

"Amitabha!" Zen Master Wuhui of the Tianchan School murmured the Buddha's name, his expression sorrowful.

The Spirit Lord frowned slightly.

Gu Yuanqing remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the Netherworld Sect's encampment further away.

If we truly consider cause and effect, these people who are dying now are also related to him.

Therefore, it seems that he has to help collect this debt, otherwise he will not be at peace with himself.

……

In the underworld.

Hades looked up and said, "The people who are looking for you have arrived, and our time is almost up!"
