Destroying the Eye of the Heavenly Path, Vast Divine Might
Destroying the Eye of the Heavenly Path, Vast Divine Might
The firmament was collapsing, and an extremely terrifying rift appeared.
It seemed to lead to an eternally unknown place, containing a vast and mighty World’s Will.
That cold, blood-red eye that had emerged stretched across the sky, as enormous as a mountain range, standing at the very edge of heaven and earth.
It swept coldly and mercilessly over the land below, its gaze falling upon the Shu Sect’s mountain gate, which had long since been reduced to ruins.
“What is this?”
Under the gaze of those enormous eyes, every Cultivator and living being felt their very souls trembling, involuntarily wanting to prostrate themselves and kowtow in that direction.
They were utterly terrified and chilled to the bone. For the first time in their lives, they felt as though their entire being had been seen through.
Even those at the level of the Shu Sect Master and the Snow Sword Immortal could not help but tremble. They knew clearly that this was absolutely the World’s Will recorded within the Ancient Altar.
In other words, it was the Profound Sword World’s greatest trump card against the Otherworldly Sky Demons.
This power was far too terrifying. Even an Earth Sword Immortal was like an ant before it, utterly incapable of resistance.
“So this is our world’s final hope? With this kind of power, resisting those Otherworldly Sky Demons would be no problem at all.”
“It seems the heavens have not forsaken our Profound Sword World...”
The Shu Sect Master, the Abundance Sword Immortal, gazed at that enormous blood-red eye, his body trembling slightly, his words filled with irrepressible excitement.
The hands beneath his robes were shaking too. He had already fallen into despair, believing the World’s Will was nothing but a legend, that such a thing did not truly exist.
But today, he had witnessed the World’s Will manifesting with his own eyes. That vast, boundless power and will—if it came crushing down, absolutely no one could withstand it.
As an Earth Sword Immortal, he already stood at the very peak of the Profound Sword World, yet under the gaze of that eye, he still could not move, his entire body ice-cold.
This gap was no different from an ant standing before a True Dragon.
“So the legends were true. In the moment of greatest peril, the World’s Will will appear...”
The Snow Sword Immortal’s heart was equally turbulent at this moment. Her jade hands gripped her sleeves tightly, unable to conceal the turmoil within.
She had always believed in the divinations within the Ancient Altar—that even in a hopeless situation, a sliver of life remained.
“What in the world is this?”
Tuo Ba Xiaoyao had been on the verge of bursting apart, but at this moment, he felt a faint, elusive will in the sky above, seeping into his body, his mind, and his Spiritual Palace.
His Spiritual Sea, which had dried up from burning his lifespan, now slowly settled, an ancient and mysterious aura circulating within it.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he suddenly felt his body slip beyond his own control, instantly filled with an extremely terrifying power.
And within his heart, a voice resounded, telling him to leave this place.
“Who exactly are you?” Tuo Ba Xiaoyao could not help but shout in his heart, his hands and feet going numb.
Yet that voice remained ancient and unrippled, filled with vastness, telling him to leave this place.
Could it be... that eye?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tuo Ba Xiaoyao raised his head to look at that blood-red eye.
At this moment, countless Cultivators and living beings felt a palpitation in their hearts, their faces filled with dread.
The Cultivators from the Beyond felt it even more deeply—their very movements were nearly slipping beyond their control.
Under the gaze of that blood-red eye at the edge of heaven and earth, their souls were frozen, unable to move an inch. The majestic World’s Will swept down like a Supreme Ruler on patrol, its might intimidating all eight directions.
The many Earth Sword Immortals within the Profound Sword World all looked up in horror, their gazes piercing the high skies, trembling ceaselessly.
To the Cultivators who did not know the truth, that blood-red eye’s deterrence was far more terrifying than the Otherworldly Sky Demons. It was the suppression brought about by a difference in the very level of life.
Across the Thirteen States, streak after streak of sword rainbows flashed by, transforming into figures of terrifying aura, all rushing toward the Shu Sect’s territory.
They had all sensed the fluctuations of aura there earlier, but had not known what had happened.
Now, they could no longer concern themselves with the consequences and had come in person to investigate.
In a distant land, numerous Ancient Battleships floated in the sky above. The experts of the various factions and powers of the Beyond were all gathered here, and there were even several beings at the True Daoist level.
Chaotic mist swirled around their bodies, their gazes like heavenly blades, seemingly able to see through everything.
Gazing at the scene in the Shu Sect’s territory from afar, several True Daoists frowned and said, “This fluctuation... it seems it has alerted this world’s World’s Will after all.”
The reason they dared not descend in their true bodies was precisely their wariness of this world’s World’s Will, fearing an accident that would leave them fallen here.
Now, sensing the manifestation of the World’s Will, how could they not be shocked? Their hearts trembled.
“It seems this is related to Gu Changge. Right now, apart from him, no one in the Profound Sword World could provoke the World’s Will.”
“I wonder how he plans to resolve this.”
An old Imperial Ancestor of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty spoke. Standing beside him were the Great Yu Eldest Princess Yu Feiya and others, all gazing at the scene in the Shu Sect’s territory.
Although they could not descend, everything happening across the Thirteen States of the Profound Sword World could not escape their eyes.
For the many True Daoist beings, conquering the Profound Sword World was far less important than finding its World Source.
Boom, rumble—
Meanwhile, directly above the Shu Sect’s mountain gate, the blood-red eye slowly turned, blotting out the entire sky.
The surrounding void collapsed inch by inch, revealing a boundless, fathomless darkness.
It stared coldly at Gu Changge, an icy and vast will emanating from within, as though passing judgment on a defier.
In an instant, countless blood-like mists bloomed in dazzling splendor.
Around this eye, all manner of laws interwove, emitting the rumbling of the Heavenly Path. Billions of divine lights burst forth brilliantly, suppressing down toward Gu Changge.
“Only a portion of the Heavenly Path’s will, not the complete one. Just as I guessed... I wonder if I can use this Heavenly Path’s will to find where the true World’s Will is hiding.”
A trace of contemplation flashed through Gu Changge’s eyes. Then his figure flickered, and the space beneath his feet collapsed and cracked, unable to bear the spreading aftershock.
Because the fluctuation of his earlier strike had already exceeded the limit this world could withstand, this world’s will had awakened and moved against him, the defier.
However, power of this level still could hardly harm him.
He was merely considering another matter—whether he could follow the vine to find the melon, using this to locate the place where the complete World’s Will slumbered, and thereby find the World Source.
That way, he could also leave the Profound Sword World, return to the Beyond, and continue with his original plan.
The next moment, before everyone’s horrified and terrified eyes, Gu Changge raised his hand and pressed it toward the sky. Billions of runes circulated in his palm, blazing like a sea of runes.
Amid the rumbling, chaotic divine light exploded, seeking to tear apart that gaze.
This was an unimaginably terrifying fluctuation, horrifying to the extreme. Every wisp of light that burst and shattered was enough to annihilate all things, to destroy everything.
The Shu Sect, already riddled with devastation, collapsed entirely in that instant. Massive numbers of Cultivators and living beings shattered like porcelain, then scattered into ash with a single gust of wind.
That blood-red eye was utterly indifferent. Even toward the living beings nurtured by this very world, it showed no difference from how one would treat ants—there was not the slightest mercy.
This scene caused the expressions of the Abundance Sword Immortal, the Snow Sword Immortal, and the others to change drastically, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
This was the Heavenly Path’s will on which they had placed all their hopes?
In the sky, Gu Changge strode through the air. Light emerged from his palm as countless supreme weapons manifested, the rules of Nirvana Grade Artifacts interweaving.
That blood-red eye bloomed with boundless light, crimson clouds swirling around it, divine laws infinite, the rumbling of the Great Dao unceasing.
The many Earth Sword Immortals who had rushed over all changed expression drastically and knelt down, unable to withstand the divine might. Even joining forces to resist was useless—every bone in their bodies creaked, on the verge of exploding.
The world was a vast expanse of white—light everywhere, laws everywhere.
Die, die, die—
A single eye, crimson as blood, utterly indifferent, without the slightest emotion, enormous as a mountain, illuminated the entire sky.
But in the end, it was torn apart from within. Just how terrifying was Gu Changge’s Physique?
The void vanished and collapsed. His great palm slammed down, directly smashing the eye into fragments.
This was a scene that left countless living beings of the Profound Sword World trembling in terror. The Abundance Sword Immortal, the Snow Sword Immortal, and the many other Earth Sword Immortals also shuddered, never imagining that even the Heavenly Path’s will could not contend against Gu Changge’s might.
“Something’s not right.”
However, after tearing apart the eye, Gu Changge’s expression did not change in the slightest. His brows remained tightly furrowed.
He felt that this Heavenly Path will’s power was not particularly strong—at most, it was at the mid-stage of the True Daoist level. Compared to the Immortal Dao power he had estimated, it was still far, far off.
“He disappeared?”
Suddenly, Gu Changge looked toward where Tuo Ba Xiaoyao had been earlier and could not help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
Tuo Ba Xiaoyao had actually vanished from this place without a sound. Originally, after obtaining the Palm Heaven Sword, Gu Changge had planned to finish him off, but he had not expected the man to still manage to escape.
However, Gu Changge had a feeling that Tuo Ba Xiaoyao’s disappearance was not his own doing.
With his strength, it was highly unlikely he could vanish into thin air right under Gu Changge’s perception.
