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

"Who said... I'm here to join forces with you?"

Gu Changjin's voice fell.

Deep within the crack, the atmosphere that had just begun to change instantly froze.

The five alien immortals were stunned.

The same applies to the human race.

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor's raised hand stopped in mid-air.

The chain that stretched out in front of Gu Changjin also froze in place.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

Gu Changjin glanced at him but did not answer.

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor frowned immediately.

"We are both human beings."

"Now that the five ancient emperors of the alien race are right in front of us, this is the best opportunity to kill them all at once."

"If you're unwilling to intervene, are you simply going to stand by and watch these alien races continue to threaten our human race?"

At this point, his tone had become somewhat accusatory.

"You must have been blessed by the fortune of the human race and enjoyed the inheritance and protection left by countless human ancestors to be able to step into the mortal world in this era."

"The human race needs you now, but only to allow you to access the Great Dao Circle and join us in suppressing the alien races."

"You're not even willing to take this much responsibility?"

Empress Luo, standing beside her, frowned slightly but did not speak to stop her.

The other two human immortals also tacitly agreed with the words of the Sky-Splitting Sword Emperor.

In their view, since Gu Changjin was a human, it was only natural for him to stand on the side of humans.

Whether Gu Changjin was willing or not became an unimportant matter.

Seeing that Gu Changjin remained silent, the Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor assumed that Gu Changjin had wavered.

"Fellow Daoist, how can personal gains and losses be compared to the greater good of the clan?"

"Once these five alien races are killed, the vacant longevity substances will naturally be shared with you."

"We are all ancient sages of humanity, would we possibly mistreat you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changjin finally smiled.

The ancient sages of humanity?

When he established the human imperial court and swept across the universe, these sages were still glaring at each other in the rift.

Now that he's here, he immediately starts talking about the overall situation of the human race.

Those who don't know the truth might think that their mortal immortal realm was achieved by being fed by them one bite at a time.

Gu Changjin had seen far too many people like this.

In short...

They simply want others to make the effort while they sit back and reap the benefits.

"The overall situation for humanity?"

Gu Changjin looked at the Sky-Splitting Sword Emperor with great interest.

"When I was suppressing the universe, why didn't I see you?"

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor paused, about to speak.

A hoarse laugh came from the alien race.

"Hahaha... Heavenly Emperor."

"It seems that you and I really are getting old."

The ancient celestial being's vertical eye on his forehead was fully open.

Within its vertical eye, countless silver runes overlapped, staring intently at the surging darkness behind Gu Changjin.

"This immortal of the mortal world is indeed an extraordinary fellow."

The Heavenly Emperor turned to look at him.

"What did you see?"

From the moment Gu Changjin appeared, the Heavenly Emperor sensed something was off about his gaze.

There was no respect in those eyes for the ancient sages of humanity.

They also lacked the vigilance one would expect when facing five ancient emperors from different races.

It looks more like they're taking inventory of something.

He never imagined that someone would put ten mortal immortals together for a count.

Canggu Tianzun did not answer immediately.

His gaze fell into the depths of darkness.

There, an ancient bronze lamp flickered in and out of view, while the imperial fire remained dim.

Yet it is intertwined with countless great paths in the darkness, as if it is constantly dismantling and devouring everything around it.

After watching for a long time, a complex expression suddenly appeared on Cang Gu Tian Zun's face.

"Bronze, this is the way of that guy Bronze."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor and his companions' expressions changed slightly.

The Ancient Celestial Venerable and the Bronze Ancient Emperor once lived in the same era of Celestial Venerables.

He would naturally not mistake the Dao of the other party's first life.

"The cultivation technique created by the Bronze Emperor was originally capable of dismantling the Great Dao and seizing the origin of other living beings."

"Unfortunately, he always fell just short in the end."

"Even after two lifetimes of accumulation, I still haven't been able to truly step into the realm of immortals in the mortal world."

Cang Gu Tianzun looked at Gu Changjin again.

"But this person in front of me is different."

"He inherited the legacy of bronze, but went even further down that path."

"Bronze swallows the Great Dao."

"This guy probably swallows everything."

"What lies behind him is no ordinary dark road."

"Inside, there are all the Great Daos and origins he devoured, as well as traces left by countless powerful beings who died!"

The imperial runes on the body of the Formless Soul Ancestor suddenly contracted.

As if he had just thought of something, the Holy Feather Ancient Emperor tensed up all twelve of his wings at the same time.

Canggu Tianzun looked at the Heavenly Emperor, his tone tinged with mockery.

"Haven't you guys figured it out yet?"

"From the moment this guy walked in, he never intended to take either side."

"He treated us all...like food!"

The sound spread.

The gazes of the ten immortals once again focused on Gu Changjin.

But this time...

No one distinguishes between humans and other races anymore.

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor was stunned for a moment, then turned his head sharply.

"Is he telling the truth?"

"You really want to devour us?"

Gu Changjin did not deny it, but simply nodded slowly.

Upon seeing this action, the Sky-Splitting Sword Emperor remained silent for a full two breaths.

Immediately afterwards, he was so angry that he laughed.

"You're insane! You're absolutely insane!"

"We are both immortals in the mortal world, what makes you think you can devour us?"

"Just because we're not at our peak?"

The broken sword behind the Sky-Splitting Sword Emperor trembled violently.

A sword intent that could cleave through the heavens gradually awakened from the decaying body.

"Even in our worst condition, we're still ten mortal immortals!"

You are all alone.

"How dare you consider us all as food at the same time?"

"They're truly courting death!"

This time, no one refuted him.

Even the Ancient Celestial Venerable put away his mocking expression.

Gu Changjin's appearance did indeed disrupt the balance of the five-on-five match.

It doesn't become six against five.

Instead, it became one against ten!

There was almost no communication.

The ten immortals of the mortal world made their decisions simultaneously.

boom!

Above the circle, the chains of the road rapidly changed position.

The Heaven-Splitting Sword Emperor, the Goddess of Luo, and eight other mortal immortals simultaneously burned their own essence, forcibly pressing the pressure of the immortal light, which was originally borne by ten people, onto themselves.

A transparent celestial light crashed down.

All eight people sank at the same time.

Some people's wounds burst open, while others' paths crumbled inch by inch.

But they managed to stabilize the ring in the end.

At the same time, two auras that had been suppressed for countless years completely broke free from the chains of the Great Dao!

The Heavenly Emperor took a step forward, and his tattered imperial robes fluttered even without wind.

From the unhealable crack between his brows, endless imperial light erupted.

The originally decaying aura is climbing towards its peak at an astonishing speed!

On the other side, the Ancient Celestial Venerable spread out all four arms at the same time.

Beneath the silver scales, it seemed as if billions of stars were being revived.

A beam of light shot out from the vertical eye on his forehead, piercing through the celestial rift, and behind him appeared a dharma image of an alien race even larger than a star field.

Both are at the late stage of the Mortal Immortal realm!

The two of them were very clear about it.

Even with the eight immortals burning their very essence, they couldn't sustain it for long.

They must kill Gu Changjin as quickly as possible!

"Let's do it!"

The Heavenly Emperor raised his hand and pressed down on Gu Changjin with a palm strike.

In the palm of his hand, countless shattered star rivers reassembled, transforming into an ancient celestial court.

Cang Gu Tian Zun attacked from the other side.

The four arms each manifested a different imperial divine power, sealing off all of Gu Changjin's escape routes.

The power of the three late-stage Immortals of the Mortal Realm erupted simultaneously within the Immortal Rift!

boom!!!

The celestial realm, seemingly within reach, shook violently.

The remains of countless powerful figures along the way turned to ashes in an instant.

The darkness behind Gu Changjin was also torn apart by the two forces at the same time!

But before the Sky-Splitting Sword Emperor and the others could even show their joy...

The torn darkness transformed into countless tiny shadows, clinging to the chains of the Great Road and silently spreading into the ring.

The first to realize something was wrong was Empress Luoshen.

She looked down and discovered that the Great Dao Chains she used to block the celestial light had turned half black.

In the depths of darkness, something seemed to be crawling towards her along her path.

The Heavenly Emperor's expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

Gu Changjin blocked the Heavenly Emperor's palm print with one hand and grabbed the Imperial Divine Power of Cang Gu Heavenly Venerable with the other, his smile becoming more and more obvious.

"When did I ever say... I wanted to eat the two strongest of you first?"
