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

Gu Changjin's first target was still Master Baoguang.

There was nothing we could do; that fat Taoist priest had jumped the highest just now.

They used Buddhist chants and Taoist names, and the first thing they asked was for his demon core to become a guardian beast of the mountain.

Now you want to back down? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

At the bottom of the pit, Master Baoguang felt that gaze fall upon him, and all the fat on his body froze.

Oh no, I shouldn't have stolen the limelight just now.

This is hardly a once-in-a-lifetime favor!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for reincarnation.

He struggled to his feet, his half-rotten body spurting out of the crater, and with his hands forming a hand seal, he fearfully unleashed his remaining magical power.

"Golden Body!"

"rise!"

boom!

The shattered golden light of Buddhism and Taoism converged once more, and a thousand-foot-tall golden Dharma image barely condensed behind him.

This time, however, the Dharma image was far less majestic than before.

His chest was covered in cracks, his left arm was blurry, and the halo behind his head was much dimmer.

But Master Baoguang had no other choice.

He has no choice but to gamble.

I'm betting that the three immortal beings can hold off the myriad demons.

I'm betting that my Dharma form can at least hold out for a little longer.

But the next moment, he saw Gu Changjin on the throne disappear.

No.

It didn't disappear.

It manifested its true form.

Rumble!

The world suddenly went dark.

A colossal black-gold serpent, ten thousand feet long, coiled above the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

The enormous snake body stretched out in concentric circles, like a living mountain range pressing down on the sky.

Each scale was larger than a palace, and a dark, devouring power flowed through the gaps between the scales.

The serpent seal on his head floats like a black hole, while the nine-layered golden wheel of merit shines brightly behind his head.

He carries the ferocity of the demon race, yet also the holiness of the Ninefold Golden Wheel of Merit.

The oppressive atmosphere was so intense that everyone felt their breath catch in their throats.

Master Baoguang stood inside the thousand-foot-tall golden statue, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He suddenly realized that his thousand-foot-tall Dharma form seemed somewhat ridiculous in front of Gu Changjin's ten-thousand-foot-tall true form.

Like a clay figurine, standing before a real dragon with its fist raised.

Gu Changjin looked down at him.

There was no anger in those blood-moon-like vertical pupils, only indifference.

The snake's tail rose.

Fall.

boom--!

There was absolutely no suspense.

The thousand-foot-tall golden body was crushed by a tail.

The golden light, Buddhist seal, Daoist patterns, and protective immortal light were all crushed into fragments in that instant.

Master Baoguang let out a piercing scream.

"Help me!"

The red-haired immortal wanted to move.

But the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape had already charged at his face with its ironwood club.

"You old bastard, take this!"

A broken piece of ancient ironwood, imbued with the immense power of a demon immortal, crashed down upon him.

The red-haired immortal was furious, and his palms ignited with towering crimson flames.

"You beast, you're asking for death!"

boom!

The iron rod struck the sea of ​​fire, punching a hole through it.

The red-haired immortal's arm went numb from the shock.

The Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape grew more and more excited as it fought.

"You immortals have pretty hard heads!"

"Take another hit from my stick!"

boom!

Another blow.

The red-haired immortal was hit so hard that his body sank, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

When did he, a dignified immortal, ever get hit on the head like that by a demon monkey with a stick?

Unfortunately, this monkey had just broken through to the level of a demon immortal, and his brute strength was ridiculously great; he didn't bother with any techniques.

Just smash it.

Slightly to the left.

Go right.

They were smashing things while shouting.

"Don't run!"

"My older brother said we're having a righteous brawl today!"

On the other side, just as the immortal in green was about to break through the air with his natal flying sword, the Thousand-Legged Centipede transformed into its black-armored form, its thousand poisonous legs unfolding like a blade array, forcefully binding the flying sword in mid-air.

With a flap of its wings, the Black-Winged Wind Tiger unleashed a storm of wind and thunder, aiming to strike the green-robed immortal from behind.

The white-boned wolf, riding on ghostly flames, relentlessly bit down on Xuanzhao Zhenren.

Four demon immortals surrounded three human immortals.

In addition, sixteen great demon kings sealed off the four directions.

Hundreds of demon kings formed an array to suppress the enemy.

The so-called righteous immortals experienced for the first time what it meant for the demon race to be devoid of martial virtue.

Seeing this scene, Master Baoguang was utterly desperate.

No one can save him.

Gu Changjin's snake tail continued to press down.

Click.

The golden statue exploded completely.

The physical body of Master Baoguang was crushed inch by inch.

His primordial spirit tried to escape, but was swept away by the Bashe Seal and dragged back to the front of the snake's mouth.

"You can't kill me!"

"I am a celestial being from the Qiyun Sect!"

"Our sect leader will not let you get away with this!"

Gu Changjin sneered.

"I'm waiting for him."

The snake opened its mouth, unleashing a destructive force.

The physical body, primordial spirit, immortal light, fragments of Dharma form of Master Baoguang, along with his chaotic Buddhist and Taoist energy, were all swallowed in one gulp.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled at that moment.

Transformation stage, a human immortal of the Nine Provinces.

He was no longer an ordinary cultivator.

The fall of such a being was like a tear in the very fabric of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy, origin, and fortune that Master Baoguang absorbed over the past thousand years were dispersed back into the world after his death.

A fine, spiritual rain fell from the sky above the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

The barren mountains and forests have been revived, and several dried-up streams have sprung up with clear springs again.

Some small demons in the distance looked up blankly, letting the spiritual rain hit their faces.

Gu Changjin smacked his lips.

The taste of the immortal was so-so.

But mending the heavens and earth was truly a mending.

He suddenly realized that his line of thinking was correct.

These extraordinary beings are high above, extracting the essence of the Nine Provinces, crushing all living beings, and hindering the development of mortals.

Kill them, and the spiritual energy will return to heaven and earth.

Isn't this saving all the people of Kyushu?

After we destroy the Qiyun Sect, smash the Heaven-Stealing Array, and drain those old fogies dry.

Then I will reward this world with an end times.

Only when mortals are free from the pressure of gods and demons can they forge their own true path.

The more Gu Changjin thought about it, the more righteous he felt.

He slowly turned the huge snake head to look at one side of the basin.

There, Xie Wuchen, Qingxuan, and Ye Xingzhou were completely terrified.

Xie Wuchen's face was deathly pale, the divine sword in his hand trembled incessantly, and his hand holding the sword was also shaking.

Qingxuan looked up at the ten-thousand-foot-long Bashe and felt for the first time a sense of insignificance that she could not resist.

It was too big. The giant snake only glanced down at her, and she felt like a speck of dust falling in the shadow of the mountain.

Ye Xingzhou's throat was dry.

Master Baoguang is dead! A powerful immortal from the Qiyun Sect has been swallowed up!?

Gu Changjin slowly approached, his snake head drooping, his blood-moon vertical pupils reflecting the figures of the three.

"The chosen one?"

"The chosen one?"

"this one?"

Xie Wuchen tried to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

The Heavenly Secret Seal between Qingxuan's brows flickered wildly.

But the next moment, a violent throbbing suddenly came from deep within her body.

That's not a divine secret... it's bloodline.

An ancient bloodline, sealed away for so long and almost unknown even to herself, was suddenly awakened as if struck by lightning the moment Gu Changjin approached.

Warmth, intimacy, resonance.

She stood there blankly, her eyes showing genuine bewilderment for the first time.

How could that be?

How could there be a blood connection between her and this demon lord?

Is it...

Just as Gu Changjin was about to kill the three so-called cores of destiny in one go, the red-haired immortal who was being besieged in the distance suddenly saw the bloodline radiance on Qingxuan's body, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

He was struck by the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape's staff and coughed up blood, but he still screamed.

"Blackwater Serpent!"

"stop!"

"She's your own sister, born of the same mother!"

"You're even willing to kill your own blood relatives?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire battlefield fell silent for a moment.

Qingxuan was struck dumb.

Xie Wuchen suddenly looked at her.

Ye Xingzhou was also stunned.

Even the Mountain-Shaking Demon Ape paused for a moment and scratched its head.

"Big brother has a human sister?"

Gu Changjin looked down at the red-haired immortal.

That look was like looking at a mentally challenged person who had lost their mind.

"My younger sister?"

"I am the ancient and exotic Blackwater Serpent."

"Where did this human sister come from?"

The red-haired immortal's face stiffened.

Gu Changjin's voice grew increasingly cold.

"Facing imminent death, you dare to impersonate my blood relative just to save your own life?"

"You people from the Qiyun Sect are truly disgusting."

His enormous serpentine eyes turned towards Qingxuan, and the Bashe Seal slowly rotated, its sound resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"Bold monster."

"How dare you disturb my resolve!"
