This night, for the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Emperor Yu had fallen, and heaven and earth mourned together. Endless blood rain drifted down from the depths of the firmament.
Fluttering and scattering, it carried boundless grief and sorrow.
Within the Imperial Capital, every Cultivator and living being was weeping loudly, their faces full of sorrow, unable to believe that this could be real.
Emperor Yu was the ruler of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, blessed with the dragon qi of hundreds of millions, a participant in the workings of creation itself, his strength profound beyond imagination.
How could he possibly have fallen in this place?
But this was an indisputable fact, one that had occurred before everyone’s eyes, impossible to change.
At this moment, the various powers and orthodoxies all felt that something unforeseeable and momentous had occurred. Otherwise, given Emperor Yu’s methods and strength, he would never have fallen so easily.
However, the fog within the Great Yu Imperial Capital was now far too thick, making it impossible for anyone to see the surrounding scene clearly.
Some of the older generation tried to divine the origin of this great fog, but the next instant they suffered a backlash—their expressions changed drastically, they spat out blood, were sent flying backward, and nearly had their souls scattered and destroyed.
“Unimaginable...”
“Just who is setting up this scheme, moving against the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty? If one tries to probe into it, it will bring about great terror, utter annihilation of body and soul...”
Several of the older generation all had pale faces, filled with dread and lingering fear.
They truly could not imagine—the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty had existed since ancient times, immortal and ageless—who exactly had such audacity, daring to scheme against it like this?
“The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty is probably going to descend into great chaos for a while.”
The higher-ups of the various powers and orthodoxies sighed softly, planning to leave this land of trouble early while the waters were not yet too muddy.
“Yu Tianyong is already dead. It’s time for you all to give up hope.”
At that moment, a loud laugh rang out, piercing through the heavens.
At the summit of the Imperial Capital, Yu Tianzheng slowly walked out, his body stained with blood, his hair disheveled. Though heavily injured, his aura made everyone tremble with fear, and they could not help but retreat backward.
“The Nation-Suppressing Sword is in his hand...”
A minister recognized the Chaos Dao Sword in Yu Tianzheng’s hand and spoke with a trembling voice.
This was the nation-suppressing artifact of the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty, condensed from gathered Fortuity and faith. It could suppress the very foundation of the Celestial Dynasty, and if fully revived, a single strike could overturn territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles.
Such a nation-suppressing artifact could not be wielded by anyone but the ruler of Great Yu.
Now that it had fallen into Yu Tianzheng’s hands, it already explained the outcome of that battle. This caused many Cultivators who had still harbored a last shred of hope to turn pale and ashen, that final thread of fantasy utterly extinguished.
If Emperor Yu had not fallen, how could he have allowed this weapon to fall into Yu Tianzheng’s hands?
“Kill him! Avenge His Majesty!”
Before the Imperial Capital, a minister’s eyes turned red as he roared furiously, ordering the subordinates behind him to move, intending to surround and slaughter Yu Tianzheng.
From other directions as well, large numbers of soldiers surged forth, their silver armor gleaming brilliantly, dazzling to the eye, like celestial soldiers and generals, their killing intent billowing as they flooded over.
In this instant, the entire Great Yu Imperial Capital fell into complete chaos. Everywhere were the sounds of battle cries. Even some of the princes could not hold back, roaring as they charged forward, determined to avenge their Imperial Father.
However, Yu Tianzheng had clearly anticipated all of this long ago. He gave a cold laugh and crushed the Jade Talisman in his hand.
Outside the Imperial Capital, battle cries soared to the heavens. The great army that had long since arrived rode divine rainbows through the great fog, charging straight in like an indestructible flood, sweeping away everything.
Beyond that, the backup plans Yu Tianzheng had laid down over the years were finally revealed.
Quite a few ministers whom many had believed to be utterly loyal to Emperor Yu all turned traitor at this moment, slaughtering their way toward the numerous soldiers within the Imperial Capital.
This scene shocked everyone.
“Emperor Yu is dead. A new emperor should be enthroned.”
“Emperor Yu has lost his virtue. We should support the new emperor.”
Many ministers roared out. Even a general who held military authority had long since secretly pledged allegiance to Yu Tianzheng.
For a time, battle and slaughter erupted everywhere, and no one could escape unscathed.
Some Cultivators and living beings who had not managed to flee this place in time were also swept up into it.
“Why haven’t the dynasty’s Array Patterns and Restrictions been triggered?”
At this moment, Yu Feiya and the others standing before the imperial palace finally realized an extremely serious matter, and their expressions changed drastically.
The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty had existed since ancient times, and the Array Patterns and Restrictions engraved within the Imperial Capital were simply countless beyond measure.
Because of the existence of these Array Patterns and Restrictions, even if other immortal orthodoxies came to attack, they could be withstood. It could be called impregnable.
But today, all the Array Patterns and Restrictions seemed to have fallen silent.
“It seems he was arranging all of this long ago. The people responsible for maintaining the operation of the Array Patterns must have pledged allegiance to him long ago as well.”
“Why would a mere Yu Tianzheng possess such methods? There must be someone else behind him...”
Yu Feiya’s expression turned cold as she reacted.
And just as great battle erupted within the Great Yu Imperial Capital and everything descended into chaos...
The supreme experts of the various orthodoxies who had gone to pursue those black-robed men also sensed something was wrong, one after another, and stopped where they were.
This place had already left the bounds of the Great Yu Imperial Capital. The wilderness stretched out desolate in all directions, stars hanging low over the vast plains, the boundless Astral River surging, with mist drifting all around.
In the firmament above, one could even see stars slowly revolving, with majestic auras settling and sinking.
This was a desolate star region, surrounded by many uninhabited stars, lacking in life.
“Why do I have a feeling that something is wrong?”
“Those black-robed men fled truly fast—we actually couldn’t catch up.” A supreme expert of Sky Emperor Mountain frowned, halting his steps to stand in the firmament.
With his strength as a True Daoist, crossing star regions in a single stride was effortless.
Yet in pursuing those few black-robed men, he had quickly lost their trail, with no idea at all where they had fled.
Such speed truly left him alarmed and uncertain.
Having cultivated for millions of years, his intuition was very accurate—it had even saved his life several times.
So he quickly sensed something amiss. Those black-robed men had clearly been going to take Yu Tianzheng’s life, so why, after ambushing Gu Changge, had they begun to flee?
If they were true assassins, even if a single strike missed and they fled far away, they would not have left such a huge commotion.
It was as if they had deliberately lured them away, drawing them here to give chase...
“Not good. We’ve fallen for a trap.”
The expression of this Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert changed, and endless cold suddenly surged through him.
The true goal of this group of black-robed men was perhaps not to assassinate Gu Changge at all, but to use that to lure all of them out.
“As for the purpose of luring us out... could it be they intend to ambush and kill us here?”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert quickly figured all of this out. His vast and boundless divine sense swept out like a surging ocean, seeking to submerge this entire star region.
“It seems there is still a clever one among you.”
“To think you actually noticed.”
A faint voice suddenly rang out within this silent star region.
“It’s you?!”
“How is this possible? Weren’t you severely injured?”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert’s expression changed once more. His eyes widened as he looked toward that direction in disbelief, a trace of dread within them.
A white-robed man walked over slowly, unhurried, his hair crystalline and casually draped, his eyes like the sea, his skin clear as jade—truly divine bone and immortal bearing.
It was none other than Gu Changge.
His walking speed was not fast, yet space seemed to shrink beneath his feet, crossing endless mountains and seas in a single instant.
“So that’s how it is. You were never injured at all. Everything was arranged by you...”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert stared fixedly at the flawless man before him, his voice trembling slightly.
Completely different from the pale and weakened state seen before, the current Gu Changge was transcendent and otherworldly, handsome as jade, his countenance clear and flawless, enough to make the heavens themselves and all women jealous. His figure was tall and slender, black hair dancing, treasure light flowing across his entire body, his whole being merging with heaven, earth, and the universe, as if he stood within some infinitely distant Celestial Domain.
With an appearance like this, no matter how one looked at it, he did not seem injured in the slightest.
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert’s heart filled with endless vigilance and unease.
“Naturally, I was never injured. In this world, there is no longer anyone who can injure me.” Gu Changge’s expression did not change; he merely shook his head lightly.
“The person behind Yu Tianzheng—that was you too? This entire Great Yu chaos was all arranged by you single-handedly?”
“That group of black-robed men were also your subordinates. You deliberately lured us out?”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert’s whole body went cold. Hearing these words, he instantly understood many things.
His voice trembled involuntarily. Ever since achieving the Dao, he had not felt this kind of fear for a very long time.
Just how great were this man’s ambition and methods, that he dared to do such a thing?
One had to know, they were True Daoists—beings standing at the very peak of the Beyond.
Yet they had been toyed with in the palm of his hand like this?
“For you to understand at this point isn’t too late.”
Gu Changge smiled faintly, the look in his eyes like one gazing at a dead man.
“Why would you do this? Aren’t you afraid that once this is exposed, you’ll become the enemy of the entire world?”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert, filled with dread, could not help but shout sternly, “Even if you are the future head of the Gu Family, it’s impossible for you to contend against all the orthodoxies and powers with your strength alone.”
“Since I dared to do this, naturally I’m not afraid of it being exposed.”
“Besides, being the enemy of the whole world—to me, that’s nothing much.” Gu Changge still smiled lightly, his expression appearing utterly at ease.
“You...”
The Sky Emperor Mountain supreme expert’s expression was one of terror, as if he were looking at an unimaginable monster.
“It just so happens that I’m currently short a few puppets at the True Daoist level, and you all delivered yourselves right to my door.”
Gu Changge shook his head as he spoke, which counted as explaining his goal to the man.
With his current strength, splitting off a few strands of his soul to control a few Cultivators, then disguising them as black-robed men to create this great chaos—it was simply effortless.
