The Profound Sword World in an Uproar, Gloating Over Others' Misfortune
The Profound Sword World in an Uproar, Gloating Over Others’ Misfortune
The black giant hand stretched across heaven and earth, extending for thousands of miles, and in a single motion seized the three Earth Sword Immortals in its palm.
Then it crushed them into ash, leaving only terrified, despairing screams lingering in the air.
It was a scene that made one tremble with dread.
Even the Snow Sword Immortal, herself at the Earth Sword Immortal Realm, felt a chill of fear, and the jade hands beneath her plain dress clenched involuntarily.
This was an indescribable gap—calling it an insurmountable chasm would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.
Even she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.
If she were to face those three Earth Sword Immortals, it would be certain death with no chance of survival.
Yet before Gu Changge, they were as fragile as paper—he could slap them dead with a single palm.
At this moment, the Snow Sword Immortal finally understood why, when she had soul-searched those Otherworldly Sky Demons,
those beings had held such profound terror toward the three words “Gu Changge”—like ants facing a True Dragon.
That feeling of prostrate trembling seemed to come from the very depths of their souls, impossible to erase.
So this was the reason.
Ah Qing and Princess Xuan Die gazed at Gu Changge atop the city wall, his expression utterly unchanged, and for some reason felt he was a complete stranger.
Even Earth Sword Immortals were no different from ants in his eyes.
Perhaps this was how their benefactor was truly meant to be.
“He’s been far too gentle in front of us,” Ah Qing murmured.
The Old City Lord and the others beside her also had fear and dread in their eyes.
Before, they had regarded Gu Changge as their benefactor, worrying that something might happen to him.
But after witnessing this scene, they suddenly realized that he had dared to come to the Profound Sword World so calmly precisely because he feared no danger at all.
This invincible, terrifying strength—that was his confidence.
How exactly did he do it? This world clearly doesn’t allow people of such power to exist...
Lin En’s pupils contracted violently, unable to conceal the shock in his heart.
He had originally been quite proud of reaching the Earth Sword Immortal Realm in his twenties.
But today he had finally been dealt a blow—all of this was simply unbelievable to him, like a dream.
At this moment, Lin En felt an intense sense of crisis. If Gu Changge wanted to kill him, even if his true body descended, he probably couldn’t withstand a single palm.
And now, his shifu—the Old Sword Immortal—had issued the Sword Immortal Order, commanding all the Sword Immortals under heaven to encircle and suppress Gu Changge.
This was a feud unto death.
How could Gu Changge possibly spare the Shu Sect, spare the Old Sword Immortal?
No good. My strength is still too weak. I have to find a way to grow stronger, or I’ll never be able to protect the Shu Sect...
Lin En’s gaze gradually grew heavy, and he felt the weight on his shoulders grow much greater.
“It seems that even among Earth Sword Immortals, strength varies greatly...”
Above the firmament, Gu Changge shook his head lightly, paying no mind to the fearful expressions of the crowd around him, and descended from the city wall.
In his view, the Star Sword Immortal was at most at the first layer of the Quasi-Nirvana Realm.
The few Earth Sword Immortals just now were considerably stronger than the Star Sword Immortal.
This was perhaps due to the influence of the Profound Sword World’s heavenly rules.
From his perspective, this great world was clearly capable of producing even more powerful existences.
But because of the World’s Will, it did not permit figures of excessive strength to emerge, lest they escape its control.
Judging from the strength of Granny Sky Demon and the others, this further confirmed Gu Changge’s conjecture.
These figures stood at the very peak of the Profound Sword World.
But they were still far, far from the realm of a True Daoist.
This world’s Will clearly harbors no small ambitions...
Gu Changge had a faint guess in his heart.
After all, once a world gave birth to a will, it would no longer be as impartial and emotionless as before.
Otherwise, with this world’s profound foundation, how could it fail to produce an existence at the True Daoist level?
As Gu Changge walked into Ancient Mulberry City,
everyone who looked at him had terror in their eyes and couldn’t help but retreat backward.
The patriarchs of the several great families who had planned to join forces with the Earth Sword Immortals were also horrified, their entire bodies trembling.
“It seems you all wanted to make a move against me as well?”
Gu Changge glanced at them casually.
At this moment, the Wu Family head and the others felt as if all the blood in their bodies had frozen.
Their souls shattered into ash, their entire beings utterly erased from this world.
They had wanted to open their mouths to explain, but the words reached their lips only to die there, trembling, unable to come out.
The next moment, Gu Changge’s gaze fell upon them, and a terrifying pressure poured down like a mountain flood.
A single wisp of it, heavy as ten thousand jun, crushed the void and collapsed the rules.
The many buildings and pavilions ahead vanished into smoke in an instant, as if turned to flying ash.
The Wu Family head and his people also disintegrated in that instant—flesh, blood, and soul all reduced to ash.
Thick blood mist spread through heaven and earth, splattering down like spilled ink.
Mixed within it were countless shattered weapon fragments and bone shards, causing every Cultivator in Ancient Mulberry City to tremble in terror.
They could naturally tell that when Granny Sky Demon and the others appeared, these great families had intended to make a move.
But it seemed their intentions had long since been seen through by Gu Changge.
Today, outside Ancient Mulberry City, a full four Earth Sword Immortals had died—and all of them had died one after another because of a single person. Even when charging through that rift from the Outer Territory, so many peak experts had never perished.
For the Profound Sword World, this was an absolutely catastrophic loss.
News of this place spread almost immediately, shaking all Thirteen States of the Profound Sword World and leaving countless Cultivators and living beings terrified and aghast.
No one had expected that while the armies dispatched by the various powers were resisting the Otherworldly Sky Demons on the front lines, such a heaven-shaking event would occur in the heartland.
Four Earth Sword Immortals had fallen—something utterly unimaginable in peacetime.
And now, they had effectively all died miserably at the hands of the same person.
On that very day, the location of Star Sword Valley was razed to the ground by a single powerful being.
Within a radius of several hundred thousand miles, a terrifying crater appeared, a scene of utter devastation, everything reduced to ruins.
This was a great power with tens of thousands of years of heritage, with an unfathomably deep foundation and an Earth Sword Immortal holding the fort.
Yet it was still annihilated by one person, completely erased from this world.
This matter caused all the powers within the Profound Sword World to tremble with fear, worried that the flames of disaster would spread to their own heads.
Many people understood the whole sequence of events behind this affair. Had the Old Sword Immortal not brought out the Sword Immortal Order, such a calamity would never have been invited.
It could even be said that the existence of the Sword Immortal Order was the source of it all.
And the Old Sword Immortal was the chief culprit.
“Simply courting death—of all people to provoke, he just had to provoke that one.”
“Truly ignorant of life and death, insisting on throwing himself onto the blade.”
The many Cultivators and living beings of the Beyond who learned of this all laughed mockingly, gloating over the misfortune.
Instead, they expressed sympathy for the various powers of the Profound Sword World.
Tuo Ba Xiaoyao, who had already infiltrated the Shu Sect, also had his expression change drastically. He felt that the Old Sword Immortal’s move was drawing the flames of war onto the Shu Sect, and it could very well cause his plan to fail.
