Gu Changge's True Strength—Killing True Daoists Like Slaughtering Dogs
Gu Changge’s True Strength—Killing True Daoists Like Slaughtering Dogs
The red bridal procession stretched across billions of miles, traveling along the Star Territories toward the depths of the universe.
A vast army followed behind, with True Daoists and Hidden Experts secretly escorting them in the shadows, all to ensure the bridal escort proceeded smoothly.
The Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty and the Family of Immortals were actually located very far apart. Even using large-scale Transportation Arrays, the journey would take considerable time.
Therefore, for this bridal escort, True Daoists had long since torn open a passage through the universe in advance, using great magic power to stabilize it and ensure the procession would face no interference.
The entire universe trembled, emitting heaven-shaking commotion that reverberated through every Star Territory.
Nearly every orthodoxy and power in the Beyond was closely monitoring the situation through various means.
Some dispatched True Daoists to blend in among the escorting guests, following the grand procession back to the Family of Immortals.
Others stationed informants at a distance, sending reports back.
Of course, once the bridal escort concluded, the grand wedding between Gu Changge and Yue Mingkong would truly begin.
For this wedding, the Longevity Gu Family had invited practically the entire Beyond. Any power with even a modicum of foundation was exhausting every possible means to obtain an invitation.
After all, being able to attend this wedding was, in a sense, proof that one qualified to squeeze into the highest echelon of the Beyond.
It was also a testament to one’s own strength.
Boom!!
Throughout the various Star Territories, the sounds of the Heavenly Palace’s procession shook the heavens.
Ancient war chariots, carriages, primordial ferocious beasts, Daoist temples, divine mountains—all manner of wondrous conveyances carried countless Cultivators, bearing immense pressure as they headed toward the Star Territory where the Longevity Gu Family resided.
Naturally, many guests were now rushing over on their own as well.
Whether harboring ulterior motives or offering sincere blessings, all brought extraordinarily lavish gifts.
Some ancient Life Forbidden Areas, perpetually shrouded in mist and existing even longer than certain immortal orthodoxies, now stirred with activity.
Carriages forged from Immortal Gold, pulled by white jade qilins and laden with congratulatory gifts, were sent out.
Many Forbidden Areas, though they had not received invitations, still sent people bearing numerous precious gifts, not daring to offend the Longevity Gu Family at such a time.
After all, if every surrounding Forbidden Area sent gifts while one alone did not, was that not blatantly courting offense?
The Forbidden Areas stood apart from the mortal world, completely isolated from worldly affairs, but that did not mean they could not be disturbed by the outside world.
The foundations of many Forbidden Areas were far inferior to those ancient orthodoxies.
“It seems these orthodoxies aren’t so foolish after all. They’ve all reined themselves in considerably at a time like this.”
Within the universe on the return journey to the Longevity Gu Family, a True Daoist Ancestor of the Gu Family spoke, his gaze sharp as it swept across the surrounding Star Territories.
Though the bridal escort had gone smoothly so far, there was no guarantee that no mishaps would occur along the way.
Gu Changge sat astride a pure-blooded red dragon horse of Quasi-Emperor level, smiling faintly as he said, “Laozu, there’s really no need for such concern. At a time like this, unless several orthodoxies join hands, they wouldn’t dare make a move.”
He was not worried that some expert would jump out to interfere. On the contrary, what concerned him was the opposite—if nothing happened, it would mean an even greater storm was brewing, that those orthodoxies were waiting for the most opportune moment.
For instance, if they could not deal with him, then they would deal with Yue Mingkong?
In short, they would stop at nothing to prevent this wedding.
Gu Changge knew full well the aims and intentions of these orthodoxies. Every destabilizing factor for the future had to be suppressed in advance, strangled in its cradle.
He had already grown to this level; there were few opportunities left to deal with him.
So the most likely target was actually Yue Mingkong.
After all, as long as something happened to either him or Yue Mingkong, this marriage alliance would definitely come to nothing—all effort wasted like drawing water with a bamboo basket.
“In truth, Mingkong is in far more danger than I am right now.”
Naturally, Gu Changge had arrangements for this. The Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, whom he had refined into a puppet, was currently stationed at Yue Mingkong’s side, responsible for her safety.
In terms of cultivation, though Yue Mingkong had gathered numerous fortuitous opportunities over the years and cultivated with the aid of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty’s vast Fortuity, she was still only at the Sacred King Realm.
Though far surpassing many young prodigies, she had not the slightest ability to resist a True Daoist.
Only within the Imperial Capital of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, drawing upon the Fortuity of heaven and earth there along with various other means, could she contend against a True Daoist.
Over the following days, the bridal procession encountered no incidents. The return journey was exceptionally quiet, the surrounding universe peaceful.
They were now less than three days’ journey from the Star Territory where the Longevity Gu Family resided.
The many orthodoxies and powers closely monitoring the situation were deeply disappointed, having seen no one cause trouble for the bridal procession.
“Finally unable to hold back, choosing to make their move?”
“In that case, it’s time to let the entire Beyond know.”
Gu Changge, who had been sitting upright atop the dragon horse all along, suddenly opened his eyes, his expression profound and unfathomable.
After devouring and refining the divine soul of the Ancient Reincarnation Supreme Being, how vast and terrifying was his spiritual power? Even Remnant Immortals fell far short.
Thus, he was the first to sense that within a certain withered Star Territory ahead, there was a hidden...
“Have the procession halt. Someone has laid Array Patterns and Restrictions there in advance, and True Daoists lie in ambush.”
Gu Changge waved his hand, informing the two True Daoist Ancestors ahead.
With that, without waiting for the two Ancestors to respond, his figure flashed forward in a single step and swiftly vanished.
At the same time, a vast and boundless aura erupted, like the floodgates of heaven and earth suddenly thrown open, as surging Chaos Energy came pouring down.
The firmament trembled, thousands of stars quivered and swayed, and the entire universe seemed to warp at this moment, on the verge of collapse.
This was a world-suppressing might, far exceeding that of ordinary True Daoists, enough to rival Remnant Immortals.
“Changge...”
The two True Daoist Ancestors riding alongside Gu Changge had yet to react when they saw his figure already appear at the very front of the procession.
His expression was cold and indifferent, like an invincible, world-suppressing Immortal King. Terrifying pressure emanated from his dark robes as he pushed out a single palm, like a boundless continent smashing down from the deepest depths of heaven and earth.
That place instantly exploded, endless radiance surging skyward.
The terrifying Array Patterns engraved in the void were immediately revealed, then obliterated in great swathes, collapsing like a flood.
This place had long been prepared. Throughout the four corners of the Star Territory, numerous experts lay in ambush.
They held various Forbidden Weapons, waiting here precisely to disrupt this bridal escort.
Though success was doomed from the start, being able to interfere even slightly with the escort was worth it to them.
After all, it was purely to disgust the Longevity Gu Family, to disgust this marriage alliance.
Rumble—
That hair-raising, invincible aura swept forth like a flood; even the Gu Family’s True Daoists felt waves of heart palpitations.
Before this, the entire Beyond, including the Longevity Gu Family, had actually been speculating about Gu Changge’s strength, eager to know what level he had reached.
After he annihilated Nether, many had guessed that he perhaps possessed some Supreme Treasure that could unleash the power of a Remnant Immortal, which was how he had managed to eliminate Nether’s Fourth Palace, the hardest to root out.
But such speculation had no evidence.
Many also felt that no matter how monstrous, how inconceivable Gu Changge was, it was impossible for him to personally possess battle power comparable to a Remnant Immortal.
Yet now, the aura Gu Changge displayed was already comparable to a Remnant Immortal.
At this sight, even the many Ancestors of the Gu Family were collectively stunned, monstrous waves surging in their hearts.
Strength comparable to a Hidden Expert—no wonder he drew the wariness of countless people. How long had it even been?
When the Celestial Path descends, his becoming an Immortal is all but certain.
A True Daoist Imperial Ancestor of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty responsible for the escort, upon witnessing this scene, could not come back to his senses for a long time.
Throughout the Star Territory, countless Cultivators and living beings watched this scene, shaken beyond words, unable to calm themselves.
All their guesses had been wrong—Gu Changge already possessed the strength of a Hidden Expert!
“He has never revealed his true strength before the world. Doing so today—he wants the world to recognize this fact.”
“He already stands at the very peak of the Beyond, at the same height as the Hidden Experts.”
The many supreme experts who had been closely monitoring the bridal procession now collectively sucked in cold breaths, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
No one had expected Gu Changge to suddenly strike at this moment, directly displaying his overwhelmingly powerful strength without the slightest concealment.
News and images of this place were transmitted back at the first instant, sent to the orthodoxies and powers behind them.
The entire Beyond began to tremble.
Gu Changge said nothing. His expression remained cold and profound throughout.
His revealing his strength today was precisely to let the entire Beyond know.
As the sky-filling radiance exploded and the runes were extinguished, the many experts hidden here struck simultaneously, various treasure techniques unleashed.
They came from many orthodoxies and powers, all Deathsworn-like existences who feared neither life nor death.
Heavenly blades, divine swords, ancient lamps, green lotuses... Supreme Treasures emerged one after another, their radiance brilliant and dazzling, blotting out the starry sky, their might astonishing.
Among them were even three True Daoists wielding Forbidden Weapons from some ancient epoch, their power terrifying—just a wisp of their emanating fluctuations caused the edges of the universe to blur and collapse.
But as Gu Changge lightly flicked a finger, the void ahead and even the firmament itself trembled.
A pale golden aura burst forth from his hand.
A canopy pressed down upon heaven and earth, causing this place to emit rumbling, terrifying sounds, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth splitting, the cosmos caving in.
In merely an instant, the group of experts charging at him exploded. The True Daoist holding the Forbidden Weapon was struck by Sword Qi, and with a bang, his body turned into a mist of blood, body and soul annihilated.
In the extreme distance, everyone watching this scene was terrified to the utmost, their divine souls trembling, unable to muster even a thought of resistance.
This was too horrifying. This was the strength of a Hidden Expert.
Gu Changge’s cultivation had long since reached this level. Killing an ordinary True Daoist was easier for him than crushing an ant.
“Kill! Fight him to the death!”
Seeing this, the remaining two True Daoists’ expressions flickered with terror for an instant, then they roared in fury, their entire bodies seeming to ignite.
A world-shaking thunderclap, a divine furnace piercing the sky, blood qi surging to the heavens, bursting forth from their crowns like undying primordial divine beasts, charging at Gu Changge.
As True Daoists, they burned their divine souls and Source.
Such an aura was truly too terrifying, like a volcanic eruption.
These fluctuations could absolutely shatter stars millions of miles away into dust.
From another direction, the other True Daoist also transformed into a streak of golden light, charging forward.
His speed was indescribably fast as he executed a supreme fist technique, like a War Immortal descending upon the world, invincible and unstoppable, killing toward Gu Changge.
At this moment, the space between heaven and earth was blotted out by fist shadows, and even a hazy vision of the Six Paths of Reincarnation emerged, transforming into six ancient withered wells seeking to suppress Gu Changge.
Facing the combined assault of two True Daoists, Gu Changge’s expression remained cold and profound.
As this punch fell, he raised his hand and reached forward, and it seemed an entire universe condensed and emerged.
The aura of a supreme world manifested, emitting rumbling, boundless commotion.
Within it, countless stars condensed and revolved, directly grinding down and obliterating those six withered wells.
Immediately after, Gu Changge struck out a world-suppressing Sword Qi in the other direction, containing the ultimate world-destroying laws.
In an instant, a dark light tore through heaven and earth, transforming into a world-destroying True Dragon that charged forth in the blink of an eye.
The dark light swept past, seemingly brushing across all living things of heaven and earth, sweeping through the myriad ages, arriving to destroy the world.
“What is this?”
The True Daoist burning his divine soul wore an expression of terror. His divine soul was frozen, unable to move even slightly. Every treasure on his body, every defensive measure, utterly failed to block it—all were pierced through.
Even in death he could not close his eyes. A sword light less than an inch long pierced through the center of his brow, leaving a mark.
Immediately after, hundreds upon thousands of sword gleams shot outward from his body.
In an instant, his entire body was riddled with sword holes, then he shattered into the void, leaving nothing behind.
Even at the moment of death, he could not even manage to activate that terrifying Forbidden Weapon. Together with his divine soul, he seemed to have been buried within a river of unknown origin.
The other True Daoist was directly slapped to death by Gu Changge’s palm, his divine soul collapsing and scattering without even a scream.
With that, the fluctuations here quickly subsided. The remaining Deathsworn had also exploded amid the earlier fluctuations, each turning to dust.
This was the method of a Hidden Expert, already touching upon the domain of time’s laws...
Gu Changge was even stronger than ordinary Hidden Experts. Killing True Daoists was like slaughtering dogs to him.
“His doing this is absolutely a show of force to all the orthodoxies.”
In the distant lands, everyone who watched this great battle conclude could not help but shiver, their faces pale with unconcealable dread.
Many True Daoists felt chills run through their entire bodies, feeling a sense of shared dread. Had they stepped forward just now, they likely could not have withstood even a single palm from Gu Changge before being slapped into a mist of blood.
After all, this great battle had ended far too quickly—practically completed in a flash of lightning. From Gu Changge’s appearance to the erasure of everything, he struck only three times.
And with those three strikes, three True Daoists had fallen!
