Chapter 1646. Kill until there’s no trace of you left in all the worlds. Do you want me to slaughter an entire kingdom?
“Is it worth it?”
Gu Changge’s cold voice echoed. His extended hand trembled lightly, causing the entire world to shake. A large portion of the world crumbled, and the river of time itself trembled.
“Gucheng…”
The Saint of Law roared as he charged forward.
Above his head, a blurry divine furnace floated.
Countless seven-colored flames fell, one after another, like a galaxy descending from the Nine Heavens. The divine power was overwhelming, spreading across the sky and igniting the darkness.
Just like Elder Jin, he had already been severely wounded before, and had been trying to find a chance to recover.
Now, seeing that Chu Gucheng had been directly injured again, he couldn’t care about his own injuries and charged once more.
However, before Elder Jin could even reach Gu Changge’s side, he was struck by the enormous hand, which slammed him down, causing blood to splash out from the edges of the worlds, scattering and exploding.
“You…”
Chu Gucheng looked on with extreme anger as the large hand descended upon him.
A dense surge of fortune and power rose from his body, entwined with incense and willpower, trying to escape. However, Gu Changge’s palm just lightly descended, and it gripped him entirely.
Chu Gucheng let out a muffled groan, and the sound of bones cracking echoed. His bones shattered in large parts, and the imperial law image behind him, which could block the power of the great Dao, continued to twist and distort.
A painful and unwilling expression appeared on the face of the imperial image, which resembled him so closely.
It was a shocking and horrifying scene—his enormous imperial law image, which could fill the entire sky, was crushed in front of that terrifying hand as if it were nothing more than an ant, directly grasped.
The vast starry river seemed to become dust.
Trapped in the grip of such a hand, Chu Gucheng could hardly move. Blood dripped from his body, falling into the endless void.
His bones shattered continuously, as if being squeezed, his face full of pain, rage, and endless unwillingness.
On the territory of Xian Chu Haotu, he had stood in an undefeated position from birth. Yet, in such an advantageous situation, facing Gu Changge, he had no chance of victory— the gap between them was so vast it made him feel despair.
“Lord…”
Countless cultivators and beings of Xian Chu Haotu cried out in anger and grief.
Their once-invincible lord, resembling a god in their eyes, was now gripped in someone’s hand, like a chicken with its throat throttled—displaying immense humiliation.
In the imperial capital, the eldest prince Chu Wushang’s expression changed drastically. He had been watching the battle from the palace, but now, he felt uneasy.
The other ministers and guests were also in shock, many of them gasping in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment.
What everyone had thought would be an inevitable victory for Xian Chu Haotu, with all advantages on their side, was now turned upside down by Gu Changge’s overwhelming strength—far beyond anyone’s expectations.
“I hope Senior Xingying will step forward to help.”
Elder Jin, still recovering from his wounds, grit his teeth and looked at the elder women of Xingying, hoping for their assistance.
“Senior Sister…” White-browed Star Lord’s face showed hesitation and struggle. He was barely holding himself back.
If this continued, Chu Gucheng might really face danger and unexpected consequences.
This wasn’t just about the future of Xian Chu Haotu, but also related to the Dao he was trying to establish.
Representatives of the Divine Abyss Cave, Guangming Temple, and the Buddha Kingdom of the Tathagata, who had all come from various Daoist factions, looked at the Holy Maiden of Xiyuan in unison, hoping to see her reaction. After all, the Holy Maiden of Xiyuan was said to be more powerful than Chu Gucheng.
But despite this, the Holy Maiden of Xiyuan showed no signs of intervening. She stood still, gazing at the scene unfolding in the void beyond all worlds.
This made them even more puzzled. Did the Holy Maiden of Xiyuan have faith in Chu Gucheng?
Why had she not made a move under such circumstances?
Boom!!!
At the same time that the beings of Xian Chu Haotu trembled in fear at the shocking sight, a muffled crash echoed from beyond the worlds.
Gu Changge coldly closed the large hand that had reached out. Chu Gucheng, gritting his teeth in pain, did not make a sound, but his body continued to explode apart.The next moment, a terrifying and overwhelming aura erupted, like countless stars exploding, instantly sweeping across the worlds.
There was a blood mist that exploded, and Chu Gucheng’s figure shattered, directly crushed by that enormous hand.
Behind him, his imperial law image also fractured into pieces, scattering into light mist, vanishing without a trace.
“Lord…”
Countless cultivators and beings cried out in shock, unable to believe it.
The mighty, invincible, and peerless lord had fallen just like that?
The ministers and clan leaders of Xian Chu Haotu also cried out in disbelief. Many were frozen, standing still, their bodies cold, unable to accept the scene unfolding before them.
Chu Gucheng was directly crushed by the leader of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance, his body and soul obliterated on the spot?
In countless cities, cries of shock and sorrow rang out.
“It’s impossible, how could father fall, and the ancestor, he too…”
Chu Wushang felt a chill run through his body, his figure unsteady. His face turned pale, and he could no longer maintain the composure he had before.
“The lord has fallen?”
At the former Grand Tutor’s residence, Chu Bai, Han Feng, and the others also witnessed the scene, all of them stunned in place.
Just as all the citizens of Xian Chu Haotu fell into despair and grief, a brilliant light rain suddenly appeared in a dark corner outside all worlds, forming into large, radiant clouds.
The shattered figure of Chu Gucheng reappeared from there. His face carried a trace of lingering fear and unwillingness.
Had he not reached the level of the Ancestor Dao and been on the territory of Xian Chu Haotu, with the nearly limitless collective willpower and the cosmic fortune of all living beings, he would have likely been killed by Gu Changge just now.
But now, he understood the greatest advantage of standing undefeated from birth. Even if Gu Changge truly destroyed his soul and he perished, as long as there was still any trace of his karma, incense power, or his followers in the world, he would never truly die. He could reappear in the world.
Unless Gu Changge completely erased all his traces and karma, obliterating all the countless lives of Xian Chu Haotu.
“Great, the lord has not fallen…”
“I told you, how could the lord fall so easily? He is the ruler of Xian Chu Haotu, truly an invincible existence.”
Seeing Chu Gucheng’s figure reform, the citizens of Xian Chu Haotu sighed in relief, their fears somewhat alleviated.
“This is the benefit of collective willpower and cosmic fortune. Chu Gucheng is born to stand undefeated. The leader of the Heaven-Slaying Alliance wants to kill him, but it is incredibly difficult. Unless he wipes out all of Xian Chu Haotu.”
The elderly Xingying, who had appeared grave before, also relaxed slightly upon seeing this.
Outside the worlds, Chu Gucheng’s body radiated immortal divine light, like an eternal deity that had existed since time immemorial.
“On the land of Xian Chu Haotu, you cannot kill me. I, along with the worlds, shall endure, I shall never perish,” he said, holding a spear as his shattered armor reformed. He gazed at Gu Changge, who stood in the dark depths, his tone resolute and absolute.
“I can kill you once, and naturally, I can kill you a second time, a third time, a billion times… until there are no traces of your karma left in the world,” Gu Changge replied coldly, his eyes deep and unwavering.
“Then I will see just how many times you can kill me,” Chu Gucheng roared again. Holding his spear, he charged forward. At the same time, his voice echoed from beyond the worlds, resounding across the skies of Xian Chu Haotu’s domain. “All living beings, assist me, follow me to slay this demon.”
In countless ancient cities, countless cultivators and beings kneeled in reverence, bowing and chanting towards that location, their voices full of devotion.
On their bodies, traces of cosmic fortune power drifted. Initially, it seemed like a small stream, but it kept gathering, eventually forming rivers, seas, oceans—spreading across the sky, surging toward Chu Gucheng.
Another earth-shattering battle erupted. With the aid of the cosmic fortune of Xian Chu Haotu’s beings, Chu Gucheng poured all his strength into the attack, striving to kill Gu Changge.
The chaos outside the worlds shattered as if returning to the ancient, primordial era of the universe, all the rules and Dao being twisted and broken.
Boom!!!
Gu Changge pointed a finger, and Chu Gucheng’s figure exploded again, the blood mist evaporating completely, his body and soul obliterated.
“Lord…”
The citizens of Xian Chu Haotu cried out in terror once more.
However, the next moment, Chu Gucheng’s figure reformed, once again reconstituted by the light rain. He seemed like a true, indestructible war god, growing stronger with every battle, his body exuding an immortal aura that surged and roiled.
“I told you, on the territory of Xian Chu Haotu, you cannot kill me,” Chu Gucheng said, his heart settled. He looked coldly at Gu Changge, his voice icy.
The Emperor’s Law Image reappeared behind Chu Gucheng, as if ancestral worship sounds echoed from the past. The entire universe glowed, and an ancient Emperor’s image sat at the center of the cosmos, enjoying endless incense offerings.
“Are you trying to force me to slay all the beings of Xian Chu Haotu?”
Gu Changge coldly gazed at him, his voice devoid of emotion, causing the vast expanse beyond the worlds to tremble.
At that moment, all the beings of Xian Chu Haotu seemed to feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if they were about to explode, filled with extreme fear.
In the unknown, dark region outside all worlds, Gu Changge’s law image was similarly vast and boundless. Under his outstretched hand, Chu Gucheng’s Emperor Law Image was like a moth flitting toward the flame, obliterated with a single swipe.
Chu Gucheng’s expression darkened. His confidence stemmed from the immense territory of Xian Chu Haotu. As long as Xian Chu Haotu didn’t perish, the collective willpower of its beings and the cosmic fortune would almost never run out. But if Gu Changge insisted on exterminating the entire Xian Chu Haotu, he had no way to stop it.
In the imperial capital, the ministers of Xian Chu Haotu also changed their expressions, some feeling a chill run down their spines.
As citizens of Xian Chu Haotu, if Gu Changge insisted on annihilating it, they too would not be able to escape death.
“What terrifying pressure…”
Guests from other civilizations and True Worlds were also grim-faced, feeling cold sweat run down their backs, trembling slightly.
If such an unimaginable, terrifying being threatened the Daoist systems behind them, would they have the strength to resist?
Xian Chu Haotu’s insistence on fighting Gu Changge would come at a cost so heavy it exceeded their imagination.
“Please, everyone, help us. This demon has malicious intentions, constantly speaking of slaying immortal kingdoms and treating the lives of millions as weeds. His nature is brutal. If one day he targets you, how would you defend yourselves? Remember, today’s Xian Chu Haotu is tomorrow’s fate for you.”
“Without taking down this demon, he will eventually bring chaos to the Xiyuan civilization, and we will have no peace left.”
Despite being severely injured, Elder Jin had no choice but to step forward, urging the guests in the imperial capital to take action. He did not understand why the elderly Xingying and White-browed Star Lord had yet to act.
But if Gu Changge were allowed to slaughter Xian Chu Haotu, Chu Gucheng’s advantage of being born undefeated would quickly collapse.
Many of the guests were hesitant upon hearing Elder Jin’s words.
They too were worried that Xian Chu Haotu might become a cautionary tale. However, many of them glanced at the Holy Maiden of Xiyuan, and since she hadn’t acted yet, it seemed there was no reason for them to intervene either.
Although Xian Chu Haotu spoke grandly, they weren’t foolish. Even though Gu Changge spoke of slaying the lives of Xian Chu Haotu’s beings, they hadn’t yet seen him truly make a move.
“Distorting the truth and stirring up trouble. If Xian Chu Haotu hadn’t provoked first, how would this situation have come to pass?”
Ling Yu, the Celestial God, coldly remarked. She was disgusted by Elder Jin’s blatant reversal of the facts, using his seniority to distort the truth.
At that moment, as Gu Changge’s cold words resonated, an inexplicable immense power descended upon the world. Terrifying divine proclamations echoed in response.
His eyes turned, and his deep, boundless gaze swept across the territories of Xian Chu Haotu.
In an instant, the entire dark cosmos lit up as if it were daytime, an indescribable white light flooding the heavens and earth, covering all space and domains.
Even those who were not within the boundaries of Xian Chu Haotu’s domain, far off in distant space-time dimensions, watching this scene, shuddered in terror and quickly withdrew their gazes.
The surrounding space and time became transparent, and everything was laid bare before them. In the depths of the Yuxian Palace, Ling Yu Ling had to sever her connection with Ling Yu, and the mirror in her hand shattered.
Even she felt a slight sense of unease and dared not continue to observe that area.
“What was that just now?”
At the boundary between Xian Chu Haotu and the Demon Court, a chilling aura, as though surrounded by the extreme cold of the Nine Hells, emanated from a withered old man. He spoke in shock and confusion.
Although the white light had vanished and the universe and time-space returned to their dark, deep state, the previous fluctuations still made him feel uneasy.
“That should have been the moment that presence truly opened its eyes, scanning the Xian Chu Haotu…”
An elder from the Tian Shuizhong group spoke solemnly.
Even with his cultivation, in that moment, his soul felt as though it had been frozen, his thoughts and divine consciousness halted.
The old man from the Cold Crow Sect snapped out of his daze, his expression suddenly becoming excited and agitated as he murmured, “Do you think it could really be that great existence?”
The elder shook his head, expressing uncertainty, but the power they had just felt, so terrifying and unnerving, surpassed their understanding.
They had originally been separated to investigate the clues of the Eternal Life Gate.
But the cataclysmic battle in the imperial capital of Xian Chu Haotu had shaken the entire Xiyuan civilization, and how could they not have noticed?
They had expected to witness a grand spectacle, but at that moment, they had almost been caught up in it. They weren’t sure if Gu Changge had pinpointed their location and whether they might be involved.
“The lord of Xian Chu Haotu probably has no idea he has become a pawn in someone else’s game. With such abilities, how dare he challenge such an existence?”
The old Taoist and the Cold Crow Elder left the region, distancing themselves from Xian Chu Haotu, not daring to linger nearby any longer. They suspected that Gu Changge’s gaze sweeping across all the domains of Xian Chu Haotu had truly angered him, and now he seemed intent on exterminating this immortal kingdom.
In the depths of Xian Chu Haotu, within the imperial capital, everyone felt a chill run through their bodies. In that instant, it seemed like all vitality was on the verge of wilting. Many guests turned pale, sensing that Gu Changge’s earlier words were not a threat—he genuinely intended to completely annihilate Xian Chu Haotu.
Boom!!!
Outside the world, as Gu Changge’s gaze swept over, Chu Gucheng’s reformed figure exploded once again. This time, it was even more complete than before, his body and soul obliterated without a trace.
However, the collective willpower of the beings and the cosmic fortune of Xian Chu Haotu were truly extraordinary. Chu Gucheng revived once again, reforming his figure from a distance.
This time, however, he was no longer as confident as before. His eyes flickered with deep shock and disbelief, as he realized that he no longer had the assurance he once did.
“It seems you are also afraid that I will destroy the entire Xian Chu Haotu and truly kill you. How laughable, as a king, you disregard the lives of your people.” Gu Changge said coldly.
As Chu Gucheng revived, vast regions of Xian Chu Haotu began to dim. Countless citizens had their heads explode, blood gushing from all seven orifices, dying instantly. Many others were reduced to mere husks, their souls and mental energies completely exhausted.
These beings had become the tragic victims of Chu Gucheng’s revival, with their sacrifice adding to the immense willpower and cosmic fortune, but even that could not prevent their ultimate fate. The collective willpower of the people, no matter how extraordinary, had its limits.
This was the consequence of pinning one’s life force upon the nation. Without a root, they were like floating reeds.
“As long as I don’t die, Xian Chu Haotu will always exist. They, as the citizens of Xian Chu Haotu, are under my protection, and their sacrifice for me is the greatest honor they could receive.”
“Rather than being slaughtered by you, it would be better to let their sacrifice be their final glory.”
