Dark Heaven Will Emerge into the World, Gu Changge's Plan
Dark Heaven Will Emerge into the World, Gu Changge’s Plan
Gu Changge did not kill this supreme expert of Sky Emperor Mountain. Instead, he erased his divine soul and refined him into a puppet.
The process went very smoothly, without the slightest obstruction.
Although the other party struggled with all his might to escape, before Gu Changge there was no other possibility, and he was quickly subdued.
Although this puppet’s strength was greatly diminished, it was still an existence standing at the level of a True Daoist.
For Cultivators who had not stepped into this realm, it remained a terrifying mountain impossible to contend against—one that could annihilate them with a single raised palm.
After finishing all this, Gu Changge strode away from this star region to seek out the other True Daoists tracking his movements.
Soon, in another desolate star region, he found a True Daoist of the Thousand Sacred Mountain. Following the same method, he refined him into a puppet as well.
In yet another region, someone was deducing the heavenly secrets, sensed something amiss, and his expression changed drastically as he attempted to flee.
But with Gu Changge’s current realm, his strength was unimaginably terrifying, and his spiritual perception was even more dreadful beyond measure.
In a mere instant, he saw through the man’s intent, tore through tens of millions of miles of space, and gave chase.
The other party was terrified beyond measure, begging incessantly for mercy, wanting to live, but Gu Changge’s expression did not ripple in the slightest as he annihilated the fluctuations of his divine soul.
After half a day had passed, he already had five puppets of the True Daoist level in his hands.
Speaking in terms of his true realm, Gu Changge was already approaching the late stage of the True Daoist level. The Source of ordinary True Daoists no longer had much effect on him.
Aside from certain special World Sources, Chaos Sources, and Primeval Sources, only the Sources of Remnant Immortals or even higher-realm Cultivators could still be of use to him.
Therefore, the greatest value of these people lay in being refined into puppets.
The annihilation of the divine souls of True Daoists from various races was a major matter. Once the news spread, the Beyond would likely be thrown into endless turmoil once more.
“This matter will indeed bring me quite a bit of trouble. However, there is a way to resolve all of it.”
Before leaving this place, an inscrutable look flashed through Gu Changge’s eyes, and many thoughts raced through his mind.
Taking advantage of this great chaos, perhaps he could make the current Beyond even murkier.
The calamity of the Absolute Yin Heaven, the Successor of Demonic Arts, the Celestial Path about to appear...
“It just so happens that my Inner Universe is also nearing completion. Perhaps it is time for this Dark Heaven to welcome its day of descent upon the world.” Gu Changge’s gaze was calm as he slowly departed, crossing tens of millions of miles in an instant to appear in another place.
His divine sense swept across the firmament, passing over numerous ancient life stars in an instant, and then he noticed that a True Daoist of the Primordial Lake was still tracking the traces he had left behind.
At once, he waved his sleeve and sent out three of the refined True Daoist puppets, charging toward that star region to intercept and kill this person.
That ancient life star was extremely vast, brimming with vitality, home to trillions of Cultivators and living beings.
The surrounding ancient forests were all lush and towering, verdant beyond compare, with numerous sects and powers standing in great numbers, exuding an air of desolate antiquity.
However, in Gu Changge’s perception, the strongest being on this ancient life star was merely at the Sacred Emperor Realm—there was not even an existence that had stepped into the Quasi-Nirvana Realm.
Of course, such ancient life stars were numerous in the Beyond, countless as the sands of the Ganges.
It was not strange that their strongest was only at the Sacred Emperor Realm; not every power or sect could produce a True Daoist.
At this moment, beyond this ancient life star, a slender woman in a green dress was hurrying over with tightly furrowed brows, terrifying phenomena surfacing in her eyes, her divine sense sweeping out as she surveyed the surroundings.
She looked very young in appearance, but judging from the aura of vicissitudes she revealed, her years of cultivation absolutely exceeded a million.
As a True Daoist of the Primordial Lake, her true form was not of the Humans, but a Green Vine Sacred Spirit blessed by the creation of heaven and earth. Nurtured for several hundred thousand years, she possessed Perfect Prodigy level strength from the moment she first took form.
Afterward, she cultivated bitterly for millions of years and finally stepped into the ranks of the True Daoists.
It was no exaggeration to say that, as a member of the Sacred Spirit lineage born of heaven and earth, she had been favored by the world since birth, with great Fortuity converging upon her.
In the Beyond, there were even rumors that Cultivators who struck at a Sacred Spirit would suffer misfortune, or even heavenly punishment.
Not to mention that the Sacred Spirit lineage was extremely powerful, with terrifying talent—ordinary Cultivators were simply no match for them.
Therefore, when many people witnessed the birth of a Sacred Spirit, they would detour as far away as possible, having no desire whatsoever to be tainted by its aura and karma.
“To think that I, Supreme Being Lu Luo, have roamed unchecked for millions of years, yet now I’ve actually lost the trail of a few black-clad men.”
“If word of this gets out, it would be utterly humiliating.”
The green-dressed woman’s gaze was cold and sharp, her divine sense vast and boundless, sweeping down without the slightest concealment across the many stars below.
As a True Daoist, she had been pursuing a group of black-clad men, and now she had actually lost them. This truly left a fire of frustration stifled in her heart.
Although there was an ancient life star below, she had always acted unscrupulously and domineeringly, so she paid it no mind at all.
At once, a terrifying pressure descended, attempting to find some aura or trace.
This terrifying fluctuation instantly swept across the entire ancient life star.
Heaven and earth overturned, the sun and moon trembled, and great swathes of cloud were shattered.
Nearly all the Cultivators and living beings were alarmed, trembling endlessly, their divine souls seized with terror, their faces pale, unable to comprehend why such a terrifying True Daoist had descended upon this place.
The strongest experts within every power and sect were startled into action, flying toward the sky with fear on their faces.
Many Perfect Prodigy existences who had long secluded themselves from the world also awoke from their closed-door cultivation with drastically changed expressions, rushing into the high sky, incomparably worried and uneasy.
“We pay our respects to Qianbei. May we know what brings Qianbei to this place?”
No one dared even breathe loudly. They could only cautiously inquire of Supreme Being Lu Luo, fearing they might provoke the wrath of a True Daoist.
“Have any of you seen a group of black-clad men fleeing toward this place? I am searching for their trail.”
Supreme Being Lu Luo spoke, her expression indifferent. Though she was a woman, the pressure she carried was like a prison, like an abyss, inspiring trembling dread.
Hearing these words, all the experts on this ancient life star were stunned for a moment, then reacted, understanding that the True Daoist before them was pursuing someone, and they immediately breathed long sighs of relief.
“Reporting to Qianbei, we have not seen any black-clad men fleeing toward this place.”
At once, their expressions all turned solemn as they truthfully reported what they had seen and heard, not daring to lie or conceal anything in the slightest.
“Not fleeing toward this place? Then where could they have fled?”
Supreme Being Lu Luo’s brows furrowed even tighter. She did not think the people before her would dare deceive her.
Besides, if they were lying to her, with her realm she could see through it at a glance.
So she was somewhat puzzled as to where that group of black-clad men could have fled—to have actually evaded everyone’s perception.
“Qianbei, the black-clad men you seek... could they be those people?”
Just then, an old man’s voice suddenly trembled slightly, as if in extreme terror, gazing beyond the firmament.
Almost simultaneously, Supreme Being Lu Luo’s expression also changed drastically, somewhat unable to believe it.
She felt a terrifying pressure sweeping toward them, like mountains collapsing and the earth caving in, the universe overturning—the entire firmament was trembling.
Hu——
The terrifying howling sound was like a dam bursting across mountains and rivers, flooding toward this place.
Three blurry figures standing within black mist stood towering beyond the star region, coldly gazing this way, like demon gods who slaughtered the heavens.
“It’s them.”
Supreme Being Lu Luo’s pupils contracted. Judging from this aura, these were absolutely the group of black-clad men who had ambushed them in the Imperial Capital back then.
She truly had not expected that these people would be so bold—not only had they not fled, they had actually come here to intercept and kill her.
The strength of these black-clad men also exceeded her expectations.
Three True Daoists...
“If a battle breaks out, this aura will absolutely destroy all the life stars in the vicinity.” Witnessing this scene, all the Cultivators and living beings on this ancient life star trembled in terror, feeling that a great battle would surely erupt in a moment. For everyone, it would be a terrifying catastrophe of utter annihilation.
The shockwaves of a clash at the True Daoist level were absolutely world-destroying—capable of annihilating star regions with a raised hand, of severing an Astral River.
When the time came, let alone their ancient life star, even the surrounding ancient life stars would be destroyed along with it, utterly unable to withstand the aftershocks of a battle between True Daoists.
“By the Master’s command, kill her.”
At this moment, the three black-clad figures who had appeared strode forward from the sky, black mist surging around their bodies, their gazes indifferent as if devoid of the slightest emotion, charging directly toward Supreme Being Lu Luo to kill her.
“Dead... they’re actually all True Daoists...”
Supreme Being Lu Luo’s expression shifted slightly as she sensed how thorny this situation was. She had not expected that all three of these people would be at the True Daoist level.
Back in the Great Yu Imperial Capital, she had only felt that this group of black-clad men had extremely strange strength, their true depths impossible to discern.
But now, with things having come to this, if she tried to flee, she would likely be caught by them anyway.
The only option was to let the shockwaves of battle alert the other True Daoists hunting these black-clad men, drawing them here to help.
Hong——
Thinking of this, Supreme Being Lu Luo dared not be careless. Green light burst forth from her entire body, endless sword gleams interweaving, finally condensing within the void to transform into a terrifying ocean-like tidal wave, surging toward the three black-clad men.
An unimaginably great battle erupted here in an instant.
Across the boundless firmament and vast star region, great stars collapsed one after another, finally splitting apart and exploding into dust, annihilated by these shockwaves.
She flashed from one place to another as if traversing time and space, her entire body radiating precious brilliance, her powerful aura awe-inspiring.
She battled three True Daoists, not falling into a disadvantage at first, transforming into a green lightning bolt that pierced through the void, unfolding a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering great confrontation.
This was a collision of cultivation attainments, an evolution of rules, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
Black mist billowed to the heavens, and endless blazing light shot forth from the bodies of the combatants.
Principles of Dao interwove, causing the stars and moon to dim and lose their luster. The powerful fluctuations rose and fell like a vast ocean, boundless and immeasurable.
However, such a situation did not last long.
Soon, Supreme Being Lu Luo fell into a disadvantage, coughing up blood repeatedly, too many cracks appearing across her body as if she were about to explode—she was simply no match for the combined might of the three.
“Impossible...”
Her face carried some terror and regret. She felt that any one of these three black-clad figures before her, fighting one-on-one, possessed strength no weaker than her own.
Under the full-force siege of all three, any True Daoist would perish.
Just where did such black-clad men come from?
Hong——
Spear gleams pierced through one after another, as if splitting open the Great Universe. A giant black hand swept across the sky, smashing her into pieces, making her vomit blood endlessly. Even her Dao Artifact began to show cracks.
This was a terrifying scene.
Hong——
All the surrounding stars exploded. Some ancient life stars nurturing life were also reduced to dust beneath these shockwaves.
The tens of billions of Cultivators and living beings within them did not even have time to scream before being evaporated clean, leaving the Cultivators within the many surrounding ancient life stars terrified to the extreme, feeling that the end of days had arrived.
In a clash between True Daoists, a single wisp of aftershock could shatter stars and evaporate an Astral River dry—let alone ordinary Cultivators, whose very divine souls would instantly turn to dust.
At this moment, countless Cultivators and living beings were praying and wailing, hoping someone could stop this great battle and save them.
“You overestimate yourself, daring to track the whereabouts of my Dark Heaven. You are simply courting death.”
One black-clad figure spoke coldly, his eyes seemingly devoid of the slightest emotion.
“Dark Heaven... what is that?”
“Am I really going to perish here?”
Supreme Being Lu Luo was besieged by the three, her body collapsing, already unable to maintain her original form.
At this moment, she had already fallen into despair, feeling her own Soul Fire growing faint, liable to be extinguished at any moment.
And there was not the slightest sign of hope—she could not see any living being or Cultivator coming to save her.
She regretted it immensely. Had she known, she would never have come to track the whereabouts of these black-clad men.
