Just when everyone was confused about what was going on, they saw the messenger bleed golden blood.

That blood was too sacred, exuding an indescribable aura.

"The Guardian lineage!" An elder's fingers trembled involuntarily upon seeing the blood.

Under the elder's explanation, everyone understood the importance of the Guardian lineage. They were a race that had made tremendous contributions to protecting the peace of a realm, and there had always been only a handful of them. But now, one of them had fallen into the hands of a foreign land.

Many elders looked rather grim, but none of them attacked the black-and-gold armored creature again. Instead, they suppressed the three-headed golden king and escorted it back to the academy.

The news of the Guardians quickly spread throughout the academy.

Meanwhile, inside an ancient temple, someone was questioning the creature, which, after shedding its black and gold armor, revealed its true form.

Her hair was as black as ink, her figure was slender, and her eyes were like two gemstones. She had an extraordinary bearing, and it was clear at a glance that she was no ordinary person.

"What's your name?"

"Dugu Yun".

"..."

Through questioning him, many elders learned of his identity. However, Dugu Yun harbored a deep hatred for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths because someone had betrayed the Guardians' lineage back then.

“There are always people like this in any era, and besides, you can’t completely trust what people say from other lands,” an elder comforted, though his expression wasn’t very good either.

“My bloodline is imprinted with the memories of my ancestors, allowing me to see what happened in the past. I have come here for revenge!” Dugu Yun said with a frosty expression.

Upon hearing this, everyone was both amazed by the power of the Guardian lineage and somewhat troubled by his idea. Dugu Yun was a member of the Guardian lineage, and no matter what, he could not be allowed to get into trouble. However, if a purge were to be carried out, it would inevitably implicate the Longevity Family.

The elders could only try to persuade him with words, hoping to convert him, but this had little effect on Dugu Yun.

"You want me to stand on your side? You have no chance. Compared to that world, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are far too different." Dugu Yun's words were direct.

"How can we know without fighting?" one of the elders said.

"The beings in this world are too weak. Not to mention the immortals, even the younger generation is far behind," Dugu Yun said coldly.

"Why do you say that? There are still many prodigies in this world who are no less talented than the young geniuses of other lands." An elder said loudly, intentionally provoking Dugu Yun to reveal more information.

"Heh? A prodigy? Can he withstand a few moves from me? Can he resist my golden blood? If not, what use is such a prodigy?" Dugu Yun didn't care much about the so-called prodigy.

"In that case, you should go and see for yourself. Go and see if all the geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are really so pathetic." In the end, it was Sui An who stepped in and settled the matter.

At the foot of the mountain, many academy disciples had gathered, all having heard of Dugu Yun's arrival and come to see the spectacle.

"Hey, he's out, he's out!" At the foot of the mountain stood a group of heroes, many of whom possessed the ability to see into the heavens. They saw Dugu Yun walking down the mountain from afar.

"Truly a prodigy!" Some couldn't help but be amazed by Dugu Yun's appearance.

"Who dares to challenge him and see just how strong this so-called golden blood really is!" someone said, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

However, Dugu Yun's first words after descending the mountain were unexpected; he directly challenged the numerous cultivators.

"You rabble, how dare you presume to resist the beings of that realm? You are nothing but fame-seekers."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, causing everyone present to change their expressions.

All eyes were on him, and their eyes were filled with resentment.

As many elders had predicted, some challenged Dugu Yun but were easily defeated.

Later, he swept away a group of geniuses with a single palm strike. He was hailed as a prodigy in the academy, but in front of Dugu Yun, he was as fragile as a clay chicken or a clay dog.

The news spread throughout the entire academy at an extremely fast pace, and even Li Dao, who was in seclusion, heard about it.

"Dugu Yun, the guardian of the lineage, has suppressed many geniuses in the academy and is now calling out to the other geniuses in the academy. His momentum is unstoppable."

"Does Master wish to leave the pass?"

Outside the cave, Mu Wanqing spoke respectfully, but her tone was still somewhat resentful. Seeing an outsider so easily suppress the group of geniuses in the academy, no one would be in a good mood.

Inside the cave, Li Dao sat cross-legged on a white jade futon, surrounded by twinkling lights, as if stars were revolving around him.

Li Dao heard Mu Wanqing's words but showed no expression. In his view, it was just a small matter. With Shi Hao and Wang Xi around, even if Dugu Yun was strong, he couldn't cause any trouble.

"No need. Let's just wait for the building to collapse. Besides, with my current strength, it's not appropriate for me to make a direct move."

As Li Dao spoke, he didn't even open his eyelids. Only the star-like dust around him was slowly rotating. This wasn't aimless rotation, but rather a simulation of celestial phenomena and the evolution of the Milky Way.

And his inner world also underwent earth-shattering changes.

The original three thousand li golden road has expanded to thirty thousand li, more than ten times its original length. On this land, golden palaces stand in clusters, shimmering with a dazzling, glazed luster. At the center of these palaces, a nine-story altar rises from the ground.

The altar soared into the sky, and on it, a golden lotus quietly emitted golden light, with black and white colors constantly flowing around it, driving changes in the rules within the small world.

Above that lotus, in the boundless void, a pool of lightning flickered. Root-like Dao patterns spread from the pool, merging into this small world and adding a mysterious and profound set of rules to it.

In the boundless chaos beyond 30,000 miles of Daoist land, three Daoist flowers absorbed the chaotic energy, emitting a faint light. The buds grew fuller and fuller, as if they would bloom at any moment.

Beneath that land, the Gate of Reincarnation lies horizontally beneath this divine land, radiating the light of reincarnation and covering the entire land.

The grayish bead, which was originally no bigger than a fingernail, has now grown to the size of an egg, with crisscrossing patterns on it, as if imprinted on Li Dao's meridians and bones.

"Reincarnation is below, the Way of Heaven is above, and the human world is in the middle; this is my three-inch human realm."

During this time, Li Dao sorted out the path he had taken and perfected the small world within his body. His cultivation level steadily reached the peak of the Void Path, and he was only one step away from slaying me.

However, Li Dao was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued to refine his realm. Although his inner world was already nurturing the power of rules and the power of the Great Dao, it was still far inferior to the outer world.

However, just when Li Dao was not going to pay attention to Dugu Yun, the person in question unexpectedly came looking for him.

Chapter 454 Boundary Tomb

Outside Li Dao's dojo, Dugu Yun arrived stepping through the void, followed by many people, some of whom were geniuses who had been defeated by him but were unwilling to follow him.

Shi Hao arrived with his arms crossed, along with Xuan Kun, Yao Yue, and Wang Xi.

"Why don't you go and participate yourself?" Mo Dao asked Shi Hao with some curiosity.

"Hehe, I also want to join the fray, but more people probably want to know how far Senior Brother Li has progressed, rather than fighting Dugu Yun," Shi Hao said with a smile.

This was also the sentiment of Wang Xi and other geniuses. Therefore, when Dugu Yun wanted to directly defeat the strongest person in the Heavenly God Academy to prove that the geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were all faking it, everyone pushed Li Dao forward.

"Is he really that strong? He actually managed to get all these geniuses to agree to use Dugu Yun to test that person." Mo Dao was somewhat puzzled.

He had met Li Dao before, but he hadn't sensed any of Li Dao's presence at the time. However, he could sense a faint sense of danger, but he never expected that Shi Hao would recommend him so highly.

"You'll find out soon enough." Shi Hao didn't answer, but a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes as well.

Since Li Dao came out of the Immortal Battlefield, all of his aura has disappeared. Before, it was possible to judge his strength by the strength of his aura, but now it is difficult to even tell what level he is at.

Therefore, when Dugu Yun was preparing to challenge Li Dao, he quietly came to watch.

Tread...  

Dugu Yun walked to the front of Li Dao's dojo, his divine sense spreading outwards like a tide. The aura emanating from his body caused Yaoyue and the others behind him to change their expressions.

"He is indeed a formidable opponent, but I wonder how much of Li Dao's strength he has been able to gauge," Yaoyue said solemnly. Although Dugu Yun's imposing presence was terrifying, she still had confidence in Li Dao's abilities.

The others also perked up, ready to watch the upcoming epic battle.

Dugu Yun naturally sensed the onlookers' gazes behind him, but his expression remained unchanged, though a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"You are the strongest in the Heavenly God Academy, why don't you dare to come out and fight?"

"I have arrived, and I have come only to defeat you, and to tell the people behind me that their desire to defeat the beings of that realm is nothing but wishful thinking."

A unique sonic wave emanated from Dugu Yun's mouth, easily bypassing the array's protective barrier and reaching Li Dao's dojo.

"How dare you! This is not a place for you to run wild!" Upon hearing the commotion, Mu Wanqing immediately emerged from the depths of the dojo, a golden bamboo sword in her hand flashing with golden lightning, its sharpness unstoppable, its tip pointing directly at Dugu Yun.

Behind her stood Tie Kui and the others, each one looking as if facing a formidable enemy. The power of Dugu Yun had long been known, but even so, they showed no intention of backing down.

"Ha, you think you can block my way? I'll give you a chance to live, get out of my way!"

"Call out the people behind you!"

Dugu Yun didn't take Mu Wanqing and the others seriously at all. He used his divine sense to search the dojo in a very domineering way, but to his disappointment, he didn't find any aura at all.

"Our duty is to protect this place. How dare you be so insolent! Take this!"

Mu Wanqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She thrust her Golden Bamboo Sword forward, and countless golden lightning sword shadows appeared behind her, overwhelming Dugu Yun.

"You're courting death!" Dugu Yun sneered, raised his hand and pressed down, forming a golden magic seal that shook the mountains and rivers, as if it would overturn the universe, as he pressed down with his palm.

boom!

With a loud bang, numerous sword shadows in the void suddenly shattered into golden dust that scattered across the sky and earth, and Mu Wanqing's figure was also sent flying backward.

Tie Kui and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward to catch Mu Wanqing. Just as they were about to rush forward, they heard a long, melodious voice:

"stop."

Tie Kui's eyes were wary, but upon hearing this voice, he did not make a move. Instead, he led Mu Wanqing away slowly.

Dugu Yun also raised his eyes, looking in the direction from which the sound came. His eyes flashed with golden light as they opened and closed, but he could not see through that peak, which was covered by a layer of chaotic energy.

"Finally out." Dugu Yun said indifferently, his eyes calm and unwavering.

Shi Hao and the others behind Dugu Yun were also shocked, their eyes fixed intently on Dao Yi Peak.

“You are a descendant of the Guardians.” Inside the cave, Li Dao’s eyes pierced through layers of space and he saw the handsome Dugu Yun.

"I was once, but now I come with a heart full of revenge, only to cleanse all the filth of the past." Dugu Yun frowned when he saw that Li Dao had not appeared.

"Heh, a reckoning? You think you can settle accounts with me?" Li Dao chuckled, the stars around him still swirling. Although he was somewhat surprised that Dugu Yun would come knocking, he figured it was just like that.

"What? You think I'm not worthy?" Dugu Yun's tone was frosty, and his aura slowly rose.

"Heh, settling scores isn't just about talking. Since you've come to my dojo and injured my followers, let me see if you have the strength to do so."

After Li Dao finished speaking, he slowly extended his right hand, and ancient Dao patterns slowly climbed up it, emitting a mysterious light.

"Stop talking big. It's not your place to criticize me." Dugu Yun's golden blood was boiling, and the golden light was dazzling. He was like a battle immortal who came from the ancient times, powerful and unparalleled.

Faintly visible around him were large stars emerging one after another, pressing down on Dao Yi Peak. The terrifying pressure caused some cultivators with weaker cultivation levels to retreat quickly.

However, just as the giant star that had evolved was pressing down on Dao Yi Peak, the entire world suddenly froze. It wasn't an illusion caused by the suppression, but rather as if spacetime had frozen and everything was still.

This stillness lasted less than half a breath, yet it sent chills down everyone's spines. It was clear that even in just half a breath, a powerful being could kill an enemy hundreds of times.

boom!

But that wasn't the end of it. The instant Dugu Yun made his move, the sky suddenly cracked open—literally, as if someone had violently ripped it apart, and a crack stretching across the heavens appeared in the sky.

Within that crack, a dark light gradually became dazzling. It was a finger, ancient and natural, imprinted with profound Dao patterns, like the finger of an ancient immortal god, having traversed countless ages.
