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

Boom! ...

The blade and the finger that the emperor's phantom pointed with finally collided head-on.

On one side, Gu Changjin held the Northern Profound Sacred Blade, unleashing his full power as a Quasi-Emperor at the seventh level.

On the other side was a true emperor, leaving behind a trace of majesty from countless ages ago!

The moment the collision occurred, the entire world seemed to fall silent for a brief instant.

Immediately afterwards...

Click!Click!

The Northern Profound Sacred Blade in Gu Changjin's hand was the first to succumb to the pressure.

A crack appeared on the blade and then quickly spread across the entire blade.

Click!Click!

In less than half a breath, the clan's sacred weapon that had accompanied Gu Changjin all the way to the gates of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect was already covered in cracks.

next interest.

boom!

The Northern Profound Sacred Blade shattered completely!

Countless fragments of sacred weapons were swept back.

Some pierced Gu Changjin's shoulder, while others plunged directly into his chest.

However, the power of the finger pointed down by the illusory figure of the Great Emperor did not diminish much.

Still moving slowly forward!

Gu Changjin's pupils contracted slightly.

"This emperor... he's really something."

He held his hands horizontally in front of him, and the Burial Heaven Devouring Dao Scripture was running wildly, trying to devour the overwhelming imperial might.

But the moment the two came into contact...

Gu Changjin was suddenly jolted!

boom!

Flesh and blood exploded, bones broke, and the protective divine power of a quasi-emperor at the seventh level was almost instantly crushed!

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor's Finger fell completely.

Gu Changjin crashed into the outer mountains of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect like a meteor falling from the sky!

The first ancient peak was directly smashed through.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one...

Rumble! Rumble!!

Countless mountain peaks collapsed one after another.

Smoke and dust billowed tens of thousands of feet into the sky.

The remaining imperial might spread wildly throughout this land.

The entire Xuanheng Ancient Star trembled slightly at this moment.

Some of the old sages who were in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes, and a quasi-emperor in the ancient cave stood up directly.

Even deep within the Yun family's ancestral land, several previously tranquil auras began to fluctuate.

"The Emperor's decree... has truly been restored."

What's even more troublesome is that after the Emperor's might swept through, the celestial secrets of this area of ​​the Tai Xuan Divine Sect were completely thrown into chaos.

The Great Dao is mixed and the void is broken. As soon as a divine sense probes in, it will be shattered by the residual aura of the Great Emperor.

No one could see what was really going on with Gu Changjin at first glance.

Dead? Or alive?

In the distance, a Saint King who was watching the battle sighed softly.

"In the end, it was still too arrogant."

The old quasi-emperor next to him also shook his head.

"Seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, that's already very strong."

"But the title 'Great Emperor'... is ultimately different."

"Even if it is just a decree left over from countless years ago, it is not something that an ordinary quasi-emperor can withstand."

The presence of several Quasi-Emperors from the Yun family was hardly surprising.

"it's over."

"It's a pity that if this person knew how to restrain himself, he might have been able to reach the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor in the future."

"But he insisted that he was invincible and that his death was not unjust."

Before the gate of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect, the gray-haired Quasi-Emperor stared at the distant smoke and dust for a long time.

Until he could no longer sense Gu Changjin's presence.

He then slowly exhaled, and the tension on his face finally dissipated.

Then, it turned into a cold laugh.

"The supreme lineage! That's why it can be called the supreme lineage."

"It's not something that can be achieved simply by speaking."

The sound wasn't loud, but it spread far and wide with the blessing of the quasi-emperor's divine power.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor glanced at the divine thoughts hidden deep in the void.

He knew very well what today's battle was about.

The Tai Xuan Divine Sect has revealed a true trump card.

An era of great contention is about to begin.

In situations like these, the more cards you reveal, the more dangerous it becomes.

Who knows what other forces might think because of this?

Therefore, it is precisely in times like these that we must act assertively.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor stood with his hands behind his back.

"The Emperor's decree is merely one of the many treasures of my Tai Xuan Divine Sect."

"Gu Changjin showed no respect and forced his way into the mountain gate; this is his fate."

"Whoever dares to offend my Tai Xuan Divine Sect today will be punished like this!"

This statement is less meant for the dead.

Rather than saying it was meant for those on the entire Xuanheng Ancient Star who were eyeing the Taixuan Divine Sect, it was more appropriate to say it was for them.

As expected, some forces that had initially looked down on the Tai Xuan Divine Sect because of Gu Changjin's sweeping victories fell silent once again.

Yes! Who knows how much of that kind of heritage is left?

Are you willing to bet?

Upon seeing this, the gray-haired quasi-emperor felt somewhat relieved.

He then turned around, preparing to retrieve the imperial edict that was still floating in the void.

Although the attack just now consumed a great deal of energy, and the imperial might on the decree had faded by nearly half, the remaining power was still usable.

Such a rich heritage should not be wasted.

He reached out and beckoned.

"By imperial decree, return to…"

He hadn't finished speaking.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor suddenly stopped moving.

Because... someone is faster than him.

From the depths of the smoke and dust, a blood-soaked hand suddenly emerged from the chaotic void.

Clasp your five fingers together!

They actually seized the imperial edict!

The entire world fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor's eyes widened little by little.

"What?!"

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

A figure, almost unrecognizable as human, emerged step by step from the collapsed mountains.

Half of his body was almost smashed, his chest was caved in, one of his arms was only connected by white bone, and even his head was cracked open with several bloody gashes... but he was still alive.

Gu Changjin looked down at his tattered body.

I almost messed up this time.

If that Emperor's Finger had been any more powerful, it could have completely annihilated him in one breath.

That would be troublesome.

Fortunately, he still had the Dao of Returning to One.

From the moment the Emperor's finger fell.

Each strand of the Dao returns to its origin, thus maintaining its fundamental nature.

We don't expect an immediate recovery.

I only ask one thing: don't die.

Even if only one breath remains.

Hang me up too!

But now, the Emperor's power is gone.

Why be so polite?

Guiyi Daoyuan instantly increased the infusion!

Click!

The broken bones began to regenerate, the chest swelled up again, and the shattered flesh recovered at a visible speed.

Gu Changjin still thought it was too slow.

His gaze fell on the imperial edict in his hand.

The imperial decree was struggling violently, with wisps of remaining imperial power trying to shake off his hand.

Gu Changjin grinned.

"You think you can just walk away now that you're in my hands?"

The Burial of Heaven and Devouring the Dao Scripture!

Swallow it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dark vortex opened directly in the palm of the hand.

Under the nearly stunned gazes of countless powerful figures across the entire Xuanheng Ancient Star, the ancient decree that carried the aura of the Great Emperor began to distort little by little.

The Emperor's might struggled, the Great Dao roared, and even the blurry Emperor's figure seemed to reappear.

But with less than half his strength remaining, Gu Changjin pulled hard with both hands.

"Come in!"

boom!

The imperial edict was completely swallowed by darkness!

An extremely terrifying surge of vital energy and the remaining aura of imperial power instantly flooded into his body.

Gu Changjin's injuries, which were slowly healing, suddenly accelerated.

Flesh and blood are regenerated, bones are restored, and blood and qi flow back through the limbs and bones.

In just over ten breaths, the body that had almost been smashed to pieces by the Emperor's Finger had been restored to its original state.

Although her black clothes were torn, her black hair still flew wildly.

The aura of a quasi-emperor at the seventh level once again dominated the heavens and earth!

The color drained completely from the faces of the three Quasi-Emperors of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect at this moment.

The gray-haired quasi-emperor even subconsciously took a half step back.

"The Emperor's decree... he swallowed it?"

In the distance, someone's voice was trembling.

"What...what is this thing?"

"Even the Emperor couldn't kill it with a single blow."

"And then he ate the remaining half of the imperial edict?"

The other quasi-emperor remained silent for a long time before finally uttering only one sentence.

"This magnificent world... it seems a monster has truly emerged."

Countless gazes once again fell upon the Tai Xuan Divine Sect.

This time, however, no one found Gu Changjin's greed ridiculous.

Because he really withstood it, and even swallowed one of the biggest trump cards of the Tai Xuan Divine Sect!

Finally, a quasi-emperor spoke up quietly.

"If the Tai Xuan Divine Sect... cannot produce a second item like this."

"Then today, I'm afraid our entire family will truly be wiped out."
