Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"I killed Lin Hanyue."

"So what?"

Gu Changjin's voice wasn't loud.

But at this moment, the entire world was enveloped by the divine senses of numerous powerful beings, so these words naturally fell clearly into everyone's ears.

The Lin family elder was stunned for a moment, and then his previously calm face became completely distorted.

"Great! Excellent!"

"In all my years, I have never seen such an arrogant person as you!"

She said "good" three times in a row, and with each word, the temperature around her dropped a degree.

In the end, the palaces, rocks, and springs beneath Gu Changjin's feet were all covered with a thick layer of ice.

Even in the void, fine ice crystals began to appear.

"He killed my granddaughter and still dares to spout nonsense within the Xuandu Taiyi Sect."

"Today, I will not let you die too easily."

The Lin family elder stared intently at Gu Changjin, his voice icy cold.

"I will extract your soul and nail it into the Xuan Yin Cold Flame."

"Daily burning with cold fire repeatedly."

"I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The moment the words fell.

Her figure disappeared, not because she was moving too fast, but because she simply blended into the surrounding chill.

The next moment, the sky above the Xuandu Taiyi Realm suddenly changed.

The once bright sky instantly darkened, boundless cold air gathered from all directions, and a pale, icy moon slowly rose amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

In the icy moonlight, the figure of the Lin family patriarch appeared and disappeared.

She raised one hand.

The entire icy moon tilted downwards as well.

"The Moon Buries the World!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles froze simultaneously.

Countless icy white laws descended from the sky, transforming into a chilling tide that buried all things, crashing down upon Gu Changjin's location.

Along the way, spiritual peaks froze, great formations came to a standstill, and even the divine senses of some cultivators ceased to function under this extreme cold.

Throughout the Xuandu Taiyi Realm, countless divine thoughts of those undergoing tribulation converged across the void.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is truly determined to kill this time."

"Taiyin Burial of the World is a great divine power that she comprehended after breaking through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Even if a cultivator of the same realm were to directly withstand it, it might not be easy for them."

"Although Gu Changjin has hidden himself to the peak of the Fusion stage, he is ultimately only at the Fusion stage."

"To dare to admit to killing Lin Hanyue to her face is not arrogance, it's courting death."

Some people spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

"For a cultivator at the Integration Stage to force the Lin family to this point, he must have some skill."

"Lin Hanyue usually relies on that old woman to back her up and is used to running rampant in the sect."

"Now that he's been killed, it's not entirely unjust."

"But speaking of which, how come that old woman from the Lin family is hanging out with Xuanxiaozi again?"

"Don't these two always argue whenever they see each other?"

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe things are unclear behind the scenes."

A few low laughs came from my mind.

Standing in front of the main hall, Xiao Xuanming had no interest in watching the spectacle.

Looking at Gu Changjin standing under the cold wave, he felt a tightness in his chest.

When Gu Changjin first joined the sect, he addressed him as "Senior Brother" with great respect.

He always treated the other party as a junior who had returned to the Void Realm and needed his care.

The results of it?

The other party has already achieved perfect integration.

The claim that it's impossible to break through the fusion barrier is completely false.

The claim that Lin Hanyue had schemed against them was probably just a performance put on for them.

From beginning to end, the one who was truly kept in the dark was the sect leader.

Like a clown, it made him, who was already proud, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Well hidden well."

Xiao Xuanming's eyes were gloomy.

"But that's all for now."

What good is a perfect union?

Facing the Lin family elder, who is in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, there is still only one path: death.

Thinking of this, the embarrassment of being fooled in his heart finally eased a little.

Only the middle-aged man in black remained silent.

He stood behind the Lin family elder, his eyes fixed on Gu Changjin.

The void behind him quietly cracked open.

A broad, heavy sword slowly emerged from the crack. Its blade was simple and blunt, yet it exuded an aura so heavy it could crush mountains and rivers.

He gripped the sword hilt with his other hand.

For some reason, ever since Gu Changjin had killed several Xuan Tian patrol generals, he had felt a vague unease in his heart.

This person was too calm; facing a furious mid-stage Tribulation Transcending expert, there wasn't a trace of panic in his expression.

At this moment, the overwhelming cold wave had already descended upon Gu Changjin.

The icy moon hangs high in the sky, freezing all laws.

Gu Changjin could even clearly see the look of vengeful satisfaction in the eyes of the Lin family's elder.

He gently raised his eyes.

The left eye brings daylight, the right eye brings darkness; they illuminate yin and yang.

The instant of day and night alternation.

Time was abruptly cut off by a single breath.

The world fell silent.

The icy moon, which was falling, seemed frozen in the sky.

The mighty cold wave stopped three feet in front of Gu Changjin, unable to advance any further, with countless ice crystals suspended in mid-air.

The Lin family elder remained in his attack stance, his face frozen in that moment, filled with murderous intent, anger, and pleasure.

Her physical body is still there, and her strength at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm is still there.

But that precious moment that belonged to her had completely vanished.

Gu Changjin raised his right hand.

hum.

A clear, sharp sword rang out.

His natal spirit sword fell into his palm.

There was no sword aura that chilled the entire land with its light, nor any extraordinary phenomenon that swept across the heavens and earth.

Gu Changjin simply took a step forward and came to stand in front of the Lin family elder.

Then he calmly inserted the sword into her lower abdomen.

The sword tip pierced through the Taoist robe, passed through the flesh, and went directly into the core of the dantian.

My natal spirit sword twisted gently.

boom!

The Tribulation Cave Heaven, which had already merged with the physical body, exploded on the spot.

His magical foundation collapsed, and his primordial spirit was also entangled by a crimson jade-like true flame, instantly burning through it.

The breath ended.

Time resumed its flow.

Rumble!

The icy moon in the sky shattered with a deafening roar.

Before the cold wave could even settle, it lost its strength and turned into ordinary ice and snow, which then fluttered down onto the earth.

The Lin family patriarch trembled.

She lowered her head, looking at the Guixing Sword that pierced through her dantian, her face still showing obvious confusion.

"How..."

She had no idea what had happened.

In the previous instant, her Taiyin Burial of the World had already enveloped Gu Changjin.

In the next instant, his own inner world, dantian, and primordial spirit were all shattered.

Gu Changjin drew his natal spirit sword.

The Lin family patriarch lost his support and fell from mid-air.

Before it even truly landed, its physical body ignited with crimson-gold flames from within.

His body, primordial spirit, and all his magical power, which were at the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, were all rapidly reduced to ashes in the flames.

The world was deathly silent.

No one spoke, and no one reacted.

What happened?! A Supreme Being in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

The attack was massive and its powerful magic covered thousands of miles.

Then, he was killed by Gu Changjin with a single, effortless sword strike.

Those divine thoughts that were just discussing things from afar all fell silent.

Xiao Xuanming's cold smile froze completely.

The middle-aged man in black gripped his heavy sword even tighter, his eyes becoming incredibly solemn for the first time.

At that moment, one after another, auras of tribulation crossing rose from all parts of the Xuandu Taiyi Realm.

boom!

The first Supreme Being to transcend tribulation tore open the void.

Next up is the second one.

the third.

More than ten figures appeared one after another, completely sealing off the entire area where Gu Changjin was located.

There were twelve people undergoing tribulation in total.

They are practically all the top combat forces that the Xuandu Taiyi Sect has on the surface.

Everyone looked solemn, their magical treasures, grotto-heavens, and great supernatural powers ready to be unleashed.

The middle-aged man in black stood at the front, slowly drawing his heavy sword from behind him.

Gu Changjin didn't look at anyone else; he just stared at this cheap master who had just severed ties with him and grinned.

"3001".

"Don't you find yourself ridiculous?"

The middle-aged man in black robes showed a slight change in expression.

Gu Changjin already knew some of the things that happened back then from the memories of the Crimson Jade Glazed Dragon.

The old friend who left the keepsake offered this person far more help than just a little.

Without the other party's help, it's uncertain whether he could even embark on the tribulation.

As a result, simply because he arrived a year late, all the favors he owed could be wiped clean.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man in black.

Could Gu Changjin really be a descendant of that old friend?

Just now, I actually pushed a powerful expert who could kill a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending expert with a single sword strike out of my sect?

But this regret only lasted a moment.

He then saw eleven other Supreme Beings who had undergone Tribulation Transcending the Heavenly Tribulation around him.

No matter how strong Gu Changjin is.

Could he possibly fight the entire Taiyi Sect of Xuandu all by himself?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man in black gripped his heavy sword tightly again.

"Gu Changjin, surrender now."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave the Xuandu Taiyi Realm today."

Gu Changjin looked around, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces.

The next moment, the illusory realm slowly unfolded.

The aura that had been at the point of perfect fusion suddenly changed.

Early stage of tribulation.

Mid-stage of the tribulation.

Late stage of tribulation.

It only stopped when the tribulation was successfully completed.

An immense pressure surged into the sky.

The sea of ​​clouds above the Xuandu Taiyi Realm was pierced in an instant, and the rules of the entire world began to retreat under the cover of the void.

The expressions on the faces of the twelve Transcending Tribulation Supremes froze simultaneously.

Xiao Xuanming stood there blankly.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

What? You've...completed your tribulation?
