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

"If I were to destroy your Tai Xuan Divine Sect..."

"Aren't all these things mine?"

Gu Changjin's voice wasn't loud.

But after he said that, the whole world became strangely quiet for a few breaths.

Those old monsters who were originally preparing to withdraw their divine senses all stopped moving.

Immediately afterwards, streams of divine thoughts converged once more!

"Gone mad? Has Gu Changjin really gone mad?"

"The Tai Xuan Divine Sect has already bowed its head and even offered half a Nine-Leaf Sacred Ginseng as an apology, yet he's still not satisfied?"

Some people couldn't help but sneer.

"Seventh level Quasi-Emperor, indeed very strong."

"Is the title 'Supreme Lineage' just for show?"

"Our family has passed down our skills for hundreds of thousands of years, but we don't have many treasures left. They would have been destroyed countless times by now."

Another reclusive saint king felt even more regretful.

"What a pity, at such a young age... no, although this person has lived for over three thousand years, he is still terrifyingly young among quasi-emperors."

"The great era has only just begun to show signs of dawn, and he has already reached the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor. In the future, he may very well be able to compete for the path to becoming an emperor."

"Too much greed is a path to death."

Even in the Yun family's ancestral land, the gazes that had initially shown considerable interest in Gu Changjin had cooled considerably.

"It was quite remarkable that the Gu family of Beixuan could produce such a quasi-emperor."

"If he knows what's good for him, he could be brought under the Yun family's command in the future."

"Now it seems unnecessary."

One of the Yun family's quasi-emperors gently shook his head.

"People like this don't live long."

"Having a bit of luck, one truly believes that no one in the world can control them."

"If the Tai Xuan Divine Sect is forced into a desperate situation, it won't be so easy to deal with."

Some people have even turned their attention back to the Bei Xuan Gu family.

If Gu Changjin dies today.

So, having lost everything they relied on, the Bei Xuan Gu family... won't fare much better than before.

……

Before the gates of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect, the gray-haired Quasi-Emperor stared blankly at Gu Changjin for a moment, as if still trying to confirm whether he had misheard.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

"Ha ha……"

The laughter started softly but quickly grew louder.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Good! Well done, Gu Changjin of the Beixuan Gu family!"

His face turned completely cold.

Just now, in order to save the sect, he was willing to bow his head, admit his mistakes, and even took out half a Nine-Leaf Sacred Origin Ginseng.

The results of it?

The other party wasn't there to demand an explanation at all.

They've come to wipe out the whole family!

"Gu Changjin, you have come to my Tai Xuan Divine Sect to question me as a quasi-emperor. I will give you face and am willing to apologize."

"You really think my Tai Xuan Divine Sect is afraid of you?"

boom!

The aura of a fifth-level Quasi-Emperor suddenly erupted, and the other two Quasi-Emperors stepped forward at the same time.

The gray-haired old man's voice was chilling.

"Our Tai Xuan Divine Sect is an unparalleled lineage!"

"When our ancestors roamed the stars, your Bei Xuan Gu family was still nowhere to be found!"

"I was thinking of just giving you something to get rid of you."

"Since you are so greedy..."

"Today... I will slay a quasi-emperor and offer a sacrifice to this glorious era!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three streams of light shot into the sky from different ancient peaks of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect.

A lapis lazuli divine bell, a jet-black ancient mirror, and a holy sword covered with crimson Dao patterns.

Three legendary weapons!

The three quasi-emperors simultaneously formed hand seals.

Divine runes connected with each other in the void.

In an instant, the three of them merged into one.

"The Three Saints Formation of Tai Xuan!"

boom!

The sacred bell trembled, the ancient mirror illuminated the sky, and the crimson sacred sword pierced through the void.

The power of the three sacred weapons converged at a single point under the enhancement of the formation, like a divine river tearing through the sky, pressing down on Gu Changjin head-on!

The onlookers were invigorated.

"They're here!"

"This is the true method of the supreme lineage!"

"The array's core is a fifth-level Quasi-Emperor, supported by two other Quasi-Emperors, and three Sacred Weapons..."

Even if Gu Changjin's cultivation level is higher, he might not be having an easy time!

Then, they saw Gu Changjin raise his knife.

Just one cut.

boom!

The Northern Profound Sacred Blade slashed down.

The dark blade light seemed to have cut the divine river in half.

The Azure Gold Divine Bell let out a piercing, mournful cry.

The ancient, dark mirror trembled violently.

The crimson holy sword was directly cleaved and sent flying backward!

The three quasi-emperors trembled simultaneously.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor at the head of the group had just changed his expression.

Gu Changjin had already appeared in front of him.

"you………"

boom!

A single, horizontal slash.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor, along with his protective divine light, crashed from the sky into the divine mountain!

Boom!

The mountain peak was blasted open in the middle.

The remaining two quasi-emperors had just turned around when Gu Changjin's second and third strikes landed in quick succession.

One person coughed up blood and staggered backward.

The hand seal in the other person's hand was shattered on the spot!

A large formation formed by the three.

It broke after a few breaths.

The old monsters watching from afar fell silent for a moment.

"Isn't the quasi-emperor of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect a bit...?"

Someone immediately interrupted.

It's not that they're weak.

"Something's wrong with Gu Changjin."

"As a fellow quasi-emperor, his divine power is far too great."

"And that Devouring Technique—with each collision, it's consuming the combined divine power of the three!"

The group of people who had just thought Gu Changjin was doomed were suddenly at a loss for words.

However, soon after, someone started to sneer again.

"What's the rush? This is nothing."

"If a supreme lineage only has three quasi-emperors and a few holy weapons, does it even deserve to be called a supreme lineage?"

Sure enough, the next moment.

From within that collapsed sacred mountain, a deafening roar resounded.

"Gu Changjin!!"

The gray-haired quasi-emperor rushed out with disheveled hair and blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Where is the composure he displayed just moments ago, laughing and apologizing?

"Fine! Fine! You forced my Tai Xuan Divine Sect into this!"

He turned around abruptly and bowed deeply towards the deepest part of the sect.

The other two quasi-emperors also landed at the same time.

The three of them formed a hand seal together.

"Respectfully invoking the profound wisdom of our ancestral masters!"

Rumble!

The deepest part of the back mountain of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect.

An ancient temple that had been sealed for countless millennia slowly opened.

There was no celestial light soaring into the sky or a thunderous roar.

Only a yellowed imperial edict floated lightly out of the darkness.

It looks like an ordinary piece of old paper.

But the moment the decree appeared.

The entire Xuanheng Ancient Star seemed to suddenly sink.

The Northern Profound Sacred Blade in Gu Changjin's hand trembled on its own.

The expressions of all the Saint Realm experts in the distance changed simultaneously.

Several quasi-emperors suddenly stood up.

"This is... the aura of an Emperor?!"

The imperial edict slowly unfolded, and an ancient and unimaginable majesty revived from the paper.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to be suppressed by something, and all the Daos groaned softly.

Even those quasi-emperors watching from a great distance felt an instinctive urge to bow down.

"The Emperor's decree!"

Finally, someone recognized it.

The voices have all changed.

"It really is an imperial edict!"

"It is said that a certain patriarch of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect once followed Emperor Xuan Cang for a period of time. After the emperor attained enlightenment, he personally visited the Tai Xuan Divine Sect to preach."

"So the rumors were true!"

"This must be something left behind by the Xuancang Emperor!"

The imperial edict was neither an imperial weapon nor the true form of the emperor.

But after all, it was a decree left by a true emperor who had proven himself to be the master of the universe and dominated an era!

Even after countless years, the imperial aura still lingers within.

A sinister smile reappeared on the gray-haired quasi-emperor's face.

"Gu Changjin!"

"I'd like to see that."

"What do you have to block the Emperor's decree?!"

The three quasi-emperors simultaneously poured their divine power into it.

boom!

The yellowed imperial edict was fully unfurled, revealing only four ancient characters.

Those who defy the Emperor's authority—will be executed!

The next moment, boundless imperial might enveloped the heavens and earth.

A blurry figure slowly emerged from behind the decree.

The face and clothing were not clearly visible.

Just by standing there, the entire starry sky seemed to become a mere backdrop.

All paths submit, and all laws yield.

The blurry imperial figure slowly raised a finger, pointing it at Gu Changjin.

"Those who offend the Emperor's authority."

"punish."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The void around Gu Changjin was annihilated inch by inch.

The terrifying killing intent directly locked down his physical body, soul, and the Great Dao.

But Gu Changjin did not retreat.

The Dao Fruit slowly rotated deep within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Guiyi Daoyuan had long been poised to act.

Injuried?

What's there to be afraid of?

As long as he wasn't completely dead on the spot.

I can pull it back!

Moreover… Gu Changjin looked at the imperial edict.

The fear in his eyes gradually turned into a burning passion.

The "Burial of Heaven and Devouring the Dao Scripture" states that all things can be devoured.

Then... what about the imperial edict left by the Great Emperor?

"Come."

Gu Changjin gripped the Northern Profound Sacred Blade with both hands, his black hair flying wildly under the emperor's might.

The next moment, he actually took the initiative to meet the falling imperial finger and stepped into the sky!

"let me see."

"Can I really swallow the Emperor's things?!"

Clang!

The sword flashed skyward, and the emperor's finger fell.

One man, one sword, charging towards the Emperor!

P.S.: A total of 12 chapters have been updated, with a total word count of 32,000. I originally planned to update 10 chapters, but then I suddenly remembered that I had received some rewards, so I added two more chapters. Special thanks to Lian Tianzhenmo and other treasures for their paid gifts. I wanted to thank them before, but I'll put it here. There are also some names that I have too much to say, so it's not appropriate to put them in the main chapters.

In closing, I'd like to thank all the fans who supported me.
