The Greatest Villain of All Ages, the Rain of Immortal Ascension Light
The Greatest Villain of All Ages, the Rain of Immortal Ascension Light
Within Gu Changge’s Inner Universe, all the Hidden Experts went mad, every single one of them charging at him to kill him, as if driven to frenzy.
None of them had ever imagined that all the effort they had poured into this would, in the end, come to nothing.
Becoming an Immortal was fake. The Celestial Gate was fake. Even the aura of Flying Immortals in this universe was fake.
Becoming an Immortal was a conspiracy. The Tree of Epoch was merely bait, luring them all to come.
Their hatred for Gu Changge ran bone-deep. They wished they could tear out his tendons and rip out his bones, grind him to dust. Even reducing his soul to scattered ashes, never to reincarnate for all eternity, would not be enough to vent their hatred.
Many of the Hidden Experts no longer cared about anything. They burned their own True Souls, brought out Immortal Grade Artifacts, and blasted them toward Gu Changge, who stood there with his halberd held horizontally.
However, the Eight Wastelands Demonic Halberd merely swept once in their direction, and all the rules exploded apart. Even the fluctuations of the Immortal Grade Artifacts were erased into nothingness, dimming away.
All of their attacks were like clay oxen sinking into the sea—there was simply no way they could harm Gu Changge.
This sight filled them with even greater despair and misery. They could not sense the slightest sliver of hope. The real world outside was right before their eyes, so close they could almost touch it, yet they could not escape. One after another, they burst apart here.
“Just who are you?!”
A Hidden Expert whose entire body was like that of a golden giant roared as he charged before Gu Changge. One palm slammed down, ten thousand zhang of golden light surging, enough to blast open a universe—yet it could not even touch the hem of Gu Changge’s robe.
Boom boom boom!!!
Heaven collapsed and earth split. An icy halberd-light swept horizontally across, descending in a single stroke that split the golden giant’s glabella open. Along with his divine soul, he was instantly torn to pieces.
Gu Changge’s expression was indifferent, without the slightest ripple of emotion. He looked at them as though looking at ants beneath his feet.
In his eyes, these people were already doomed. There was no possibility of them escaping the Inner Universe. In the end, they could only become nourishment for the step he was about to take, so naturally he would feel no mercy or emotional fluctuation.
After all, everything had been decided from the very beginning. There was no possibility of changing it.
“How truly pitiful...”
Someone laughed miserably and tried to break through this fake Celestial Domain, but endless thunderbolts crashed down between heaven and earth. Every strike smashed onto his head, making him cough up blood and stagger, unable to hold himself up.
Earlier, in order to fight their way into this Celestial Domain, to break through the Celestial Gate, they had already expended a great deal of strength and were no longer at their peak.
And now, the Inner Universe was under Gu Changge’s control. Unless an Immortal Dao existence revived, it could not possibly be destroyed. Even if they brought out Immortal Grade Artifacts and revived them, unleashing a peerless strike, it would at most cause this Inner Universe to tremble.
Within this Inner Universe, a disturbance arose. A Chaos Abyss emerged, blood qi spreading and billowing around it, continuously expanding as it shrouded the fallen Hidden Experts.
Even in death, they could not escape their fate as nourishment. They were simply swallowed up by the Chaos Abyss, True Flames blazing all around, beginning to refine and burn them.
The weapons that were swallowed in exploded with a roar, turning into powder that filled the sky.
One Hidden Expert could not endure this sight. Roaring, he charged toward that Chaos Abyss.
But without exception, in merely an instant, he too was swallowed inside, and just like that, he was gone.
From within the Chaos Abyss came a tremendous bang. Fresh blood splattered in all directions, vivid and dazzling, making one’s heart tremble, every pore on one’s body prickling as if stabbed by needles.
Crimson blood, like red diamonds, splashed out from the Chaos Abyss. Misty haze spread, and lustrous white bone fragments fell out—a horrifying sight.
The speed at which this Hidden Expert fell left all the others in ashen despair. When had even they become lambs awaiting slaughter?
They were the most powerful and invincible figures the Beyond had produced in all its ages!
“It’s your turn, One-Eye Daoist of Sky Emperor Mountain.”
Gu Changge’s gaze fell upon the crowd of Hidden Experts.
Especially upon the One-Eye Daoist, who was extremely terrified and uneasy. Regarding this man, Gu Changge remembered clearly.
On the day of his wedding to Yue Mingkong, Sky Emperor Mountain had sent a True Daoist to intercept them, attempting to cause trouble.
On such a joyous day, they had deliberately gone out of their way to disgust him.
Gu Changge had long since regarded Sky Emperor Mountain as dead men. Once the matters here were settled, he would naturally trample Sky Emperor Mountain flat.
The One-Eye Daoist before him, moreover, had schemed in the shadows many times, wanting to eliminate him.
Gu Changge had paid him no mind before, being busy arranging this grand scheme, but that did not mean he did not care.
“You recognize me? Just who exactly are you?!”
Seeing this Lord of Gods’ Ruins—his whole body shrouded in Chaos Energy, as if seated at the end of the River of Time—suddenly turn to look at him,
the One-Eye Daoist’s entire body went cold. He became terrified, his divine soul trembling, feeling as though he had been seen through, as if even the crown of his skull had been lifted off.
However, Gu Changge did not answer him. A giant hand simply reached over from there.
Chaos Energy spread out, slapping directly toward the One-Eye Daoist, making him cough up blood and fly backward, his body nearly torn to pieces. He simply could not dodge it.
The One-Eye Daoist spat out mouthfuls of blood, horrified and afraid. He felt this aura was very familiar—he had personally witnessed it before.
“Who is it...”
“Just who is it?!”
He could not possibly remember wrong. The Lord of Gods’ Ruins before him was absolutely someone he had seen before. He could not possibly be some nameless nobody.
“Gu... Gu Changge...”
Suddenly, thinking of something, the One-Eye Daoist trembled in horror, his words coming out incomplete.
An unprecedented fear enveloped him.
His eyes bulged wide as an unimaginable, terrifying thought grew in his mind. His whole body went cold, his limbs icy.
How was this possible? When he left the Beyond, he had even inquired about Gu Changge’s whereabouts. He knew that after his grand wedding, Gu Changge had stayed within the Longevity Gu Family and had never left.
Then how had he come to the Resplendence Universe, and even transformed into the Lord of Gods’ Ruins, trapping and scheming against all the Daoist traditions and forces of the Beyond?
This was too horrifying, too inconceivable. The One-Eye Daoist simply could not believe any of this was real.
The other Hidden Experts, at this moment, were also horrified to the extreme. They had never imagined that at this moment, the One-Eye Daoist would actually cry out a name—a person they could not even dare to imagine.
That little fellow said to be the reincarnation of an Absolute Being from the Forbidden Epoch?
The Greatest Villain behind all of this... was actually him?
“How exactly did you do it?” The One-Eye Daoist’s voice was filled with fear, trembling incessantly.
He knew Gu Changge would definitely not let him go. He had schemed in the shadows many times to harm him, to strike him down.
With such deep enmity, Gu Changge would surely kill him.
Gu Changge had not expected the One-Eye Daoist to actually recognize him. But at this point, whether he was recognized or not no longer mattered.
The immortal mist on his face dispersed, revealing his true countenance. His entire being was indifferent, like a deity seated cross-legged at the end of creation itself, looking down upon them.
That terrifying Chaos Abyss rose and fell above his head, exuding endless blood qi.
Then, one after another, Grand Runes descended, condensing into a Grand Flask.
“Tell me, how would you like to die at this moment?”
He spoke coldly, looking at the One-Eye Daoist. The Eight Wastelands Demonic Halberd lay across the sky, and a wisp of its aura fell, directly causing the One-Eye Daoist’s entire body to crack apart. Five-colored blood flowed out, and half his life was instantly gone.
“That’s the weapon that appeared in the Forbidden Epoch! A certain leader who once possessed a demonic heart in later ages imitated it... its demonic might is boundless, capable of slaughtering all things.”
“You are the chief culprit of the Forbidden Epoch! You actually reincarnated into the present day!”
At this moment, one of the Hidden Experts recognized the Eight Wastelands Demonic Halberd. His pupils shrank into slits, his voice trembling, horrified to the extreme.
He had thought that learning today that Gu Changge was the mastermind behind all of this was already shocking enough.
But he had never imagined that before his reincarnation, he had actually been that chief culprit of the Forbidden Epoch.
The reason the Beyond had undergone such drastic changes, its rules severed, Immortalhood unattainable—all of it was actually because of him.
Such a matter had never shown the slightest sign before. No one had even dared to make the connection in this direction.
“He is... that Lord of Ten Thousand Daos?”
“No wonder... no wonder... Everything that happened in the Beyond was orchestrated by you from behind the scenes. You hid it so deeply.”
The One-Eye Daoist was once again rendered speechless with horror by this revelation, his face pale and despairing.
This revelation was absolutely even more horrifying than Gu Changge scheming against the entire Beyond, because it represented the truth behind the separation of the Celestial Domain and the Beyond back then. It might even draw the gaze of existences from within the true Celestial Domain.
But he also understood clearly that no matter what impact this matter might cause, they would never live to see it.
At this moment, everyone was horrified and despairing. To be schemed against and plotted over by such a figure—it seemed they had nothing left to regret.
Gu Changge did not say much more. Indeed, there was nothing more to say. Even if they understood these truths, it would be of no use, and it could not possibly affect him in any way.
The next moment, that Chaos Abyss bloomed with endless light, just like a Flying Immortal cavern, completely enveloping this stretch of heaven and earth. Everyone collapsed within it, like brands being cast, becoming resplendent, then turning into light, becoming a rain of light that filled the sky.
In the end, everything here returned to true deathly silence. Only a few Immortal Grade Artifacts that could not be refined were scattered across the land. The deities within them had already fallen silent—they were not empty shells.
Of course, there were also some Immortal Grade Artifacts whose deities were sacrificed by the Hidden Experts at the very end, in an attempt to threaten Gu Changge. However, it served no purpose whatsoever.
“This is the true Light of Immortal Ascension. What a pity you can no longer behold it.”
Gu Changge murmured softly, bathing within this rain of light. The Primordial Spirit seated within his Soul Palace walked out and began to condense the Light of Immortal Ascension.
Energy as vast as an ocean surged within the Inner Universe, converging toward him.
As if empowering him, forging for him the foundation of the Immortal Dao.
