But now is not the time for memories!
"Chaos Supreme Treasure!"
When Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable saw the nine-story pagoda, his expression changed drastically, and then his eyes were filled with greed.
"Hahaha, it seems that the Great Dao of Chaos favors this venerable one. Originally, even if I devoured the Heavenly Sword Great World, I would only have a 50% chance of breaking through the shackles and becoming an Immortal Emperor. Now, with the blessing of this Chaos Supreme Treasure, becoming an Immortal Emperor is within easy reach!"
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable laughed wildly, as if he had already become an Immortal Emperor, reigning over the heavens.
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable decisively attacked, the earth shook, all paths wailed, and powerful energy swept towards the nine-story pagoda, wanting to take it into his possession.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the nine-story pagoda emitted a powerful aura, suppressing the energy of Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable.
"As expected of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it is indeed powerful!" Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable was not annoyed, but even more excited. This is the power of a Chaos Supreme Treasure. If he could subdue it so easily, then this Chaos Supreme Treasure would not be able to increase his chances of breaking through to Immortal Emperor.
At this time, Ancient Wilderness stretched out his hand to take the nine-story pagoda into his hand. Seeing this, Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable sneered with disdain: "Wishful thinking!" He hadn't even subdued this Chaos Supreme Treasure, so it was absolutely wishful thinking for Ancient Wilderness to try and subdue it.
But the next moment, Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable's expression froze, his face full of disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
The nine-story pagoda instantly landed on Ancient Wilderness's palm, and Ancient Wilderness's hand hadn't even touched it yet. It was as if the nine-story pagoda took the initiative to approach Ancient Wilderness, as if it had chosen him.
The moment the nine-story pagoda fell into his palm, Ancient Wilderness gained some information about the pagoda in his mind.
The Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda is a supreme treasure formed by Chaos nurturing for countless years. Usually, it is equivalent to an Immortal King weapon, but in essence, because it was born from Chaos, its grade is equivalent to a complete Great World. It can be understood as it being an Immortal Emperor-level treasure!
As for who the owner of the Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda is, and why it appeared here, Ancient Wilderness didn't have time to think about it. He only knew that this pagoda took the initiative to find him, just like a very loyal puppy learning that its owner was in danger, and coming here to protect its master.
Ancient Wilderness did not refine this pagoda, but he had a feeling that he could use the pagoda's power to its fullest extent.
An Immortal King holding an Immortal Emperor weapon that recognizes him, how terrifying is that? Moreover, the strength between him and Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable had not reached an insurmountable level.
"Bang!"
Ancient Wilderness's expression shook, his eyes staring in shock at the Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda in his hand. Just now, a transcendent energy was transmitted from the Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda through his arm into his body, and the Dao injuries in his body were instantly healed.
Although he had the Undying Divine Art, he had suffered many Dao injuries over the millennia, but he had suppressed them. However, suppressing the Dao injuries also made him weaker and weaker. Now that the Dao injuries in his body were healed, his cultivation instantly returned to its peak state.
No, something's not right...
His cultivation is still increasing!
"Crack!"
A sound of something shattering suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable's expression changed drastically, while the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Sword Great World, such as Crimson Flame, were overjoyed. They all knew that it was the sound of Ancient Wilderness breaking through.
"Impossible, how could this be?"
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable couldn't understand why the Chaos Supreme Treasure wouldn't choose him, an Immortal Venerable, but instead chose an Immortal King. And even helping the Immortal King break through, which would consume its own origin and take at least hundreds of thousands of years to recover.
"An Immortal King, what virtues and abilities does he have!"
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable was furious. With a wave of his hand, a battle blade appeared. This was his natal weapon, the Heavenly Blade!
And his supreme divine power was also the Heavenly Blade!
"Die!"
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable wanted to take advantage of this moment to kill Ancient Wilderness with his strongest power. When Ancient Wilderness was still an Immortal King, he had confronted him for thousands of years with powerful combat strength. If he successfully broke through to the Immortal Venerable realm, how strong would he be?
He absolutely couldn't let him break through smoothly!
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable was afraid. He wasn't afraid of Ancient Wilderness as an Immortal King, but if Ancient Wilderness became an Immortal Venerable, then he would really be afraid.
"Boom!"
Chaos was split open, like the creation of the world. Everything in the world paled in comparison at this moment. Only the strongest blade stood between the two worlds, and the wild blade force wantonly destroyed the surroundings.
The two Great Worlds continued to shake, as if they were about to be destroyed at any moment.
Crimson Flame and the others stared intently at the split Chaos. Suddenly, a golden light tore through the Chaos, like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating the heavens and the earth, sacred and great.
The golden light was emitted by Ancient Wilderness.
But the next moment, the golden light on his body slowly faded, as if he had abandoned something, shedding this layer of golden shell, looking ordinary, but within the ordinary, he was even more majestic.
At this moment, he was no longer a Saint Body. The blessing of the physique was no longer significant after becoming Dao, and even became a shackle for him.
Now that the shackles were gone, he had a sense of freedom, like a bird soaring in the sky and a fish leaping in the sea.
Bloodline physique is a talent, but it can also be a shackle.
Only by breaking the routine can one continue to climb the peak of the Great Dao.
"Perhaps this is the true meaning of Senior Li asking me to 'die once'. He wanted to tell me the principle of no destruction, no construction." He couldn't help but think of his father's friend whom he met in the Qianyuan Realm thousands of years ago.
If Gu Sheng knew that the "Senior Li" he thought of was his father Gu Changsheng, and that Gu Changsheng really just wanted him to die once to see the effect of the first level of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Art being completed, he didn't know what Gu Sheng would think?
But Gu Sheng will not know for the time being.
"Immortal Venerable..."
Gu Sheng clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that was enough to destroy the world. The current him could instantly kill his previous self.
But he didn't think so much. Now that he had reached the Immortal Venerable realm, the Immortal Emperor realm was not far away, and the distance to completing that dream was not far away either.
Now, all he needed to do was experience how powerful the Immortal Venerable realm had brought him.
Gu Sheng suddenly turned his gaze to Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable.
"Do you think I can kill you with one punch?" Gu Sheng suddenly asked.
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable was stunned, and then became furious. The other party had only just broken through to the Immortal Venerable realm, yet he was so arrogant as to think that he could suppress him with one punch. This was humiliating him.
"Die!"
Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable used his peerless divine power and slashed at Gu Sheng with a blade.
In response, Gu Sheng simply threw a punch, without any divine power enhancement, just an ordinary punch.
"Boom!"
The blade light shattered, the blade force disappeared, and Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable, along with his weapon, the Heavenly Blade, disappeared into the chaos.
"Hiss!"
Crimson Flame Immortal King and the others all gasped. Gu Sheng's power made them realize that even if the cultivation level is higher, those who can fight beyond their level can still fight beyond their level. As for saying that the higher the cultivation level, the greater the gap, and it is impossible to fight beyond their level, that can only be said to be not strong enough.
After Gu Sheng killed Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable, without the trend of Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable's will, the Heavenly Blade Great World gradually separated from the Heavenly Sword Great World. Just when someone in the Heavenly Sword Great World was about to sound the horn of counterattack, Crimson Flame Immortal King stopped them.
"If we continue to fight, the result will be a loss for both sides," said Crimson Flame Immortal King.
"Are we just going to let them go like this? Have our relatives and friends died in vain for the past three million years?" Some Supreme Beings were unwilling.
Crimson Flame Immortal King was silent. He knew that the two sides had been fighting each other for three million years, and had long become irreconcilable enemies. It was impossible to end this war just like that, but he had to think about the future of the Heavenly Sword Great World. For three million years, all living beings in the Heavenly Sword Great World had been living in dire straits. Countless geniuses had not had time to grow up before they were buried on this battlefield. If the war continued, then whether it was the Heavenly Sword Great World or the Heavenly Blade Great World, they would only fall into a vicious cycle until one of the Great Worlds collapsed, or both sides suffered.
"Crimson Flame!"
At this time, the other Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Sword Great World also came to Crimson Flame.
Crimson Flame said: "Do you also want to continue?"
Those Immortal Kings shook their heads, but said: "Although we don't want to, we must continue to fight."
Crimson Flame smiled bitterly: "You know that Heavenly Blade has fallen, Ancient Wilderness will no longer take action, and continuing to fight will be detrimental to us."
For three million years, the Heavenly Blade Great World has had Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable sitting in town, and few Immortal Kings have fallen. However, the Heavenly Sword Great World is different. Dozens of Immortal Kings have already fallen. In terms of the number of Immortal Kings, the Heavenly Sword Great World has suffered a loss.
"It's disadvantageous, but we have to fight, otherwise the sword will be empty, and our will will be damaged!"
Crimson Flame Immortal King was stunned, and then nodded.
"Buzz!"
At this time, all the Immortal Kings received the divine thoughts from the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Blade Great World. Their meaning was very simple, the war could continue, but a rule had to be established that Immortal Kings could not participate in the war.
Obviously, the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Blade Great World did not want to continue fighting either. Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable had just died, and the Heavenly Blade Great World had no leader. The most important thing was that Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable's "legacy" was still in the Heavenly Blade Great World. They were all thinking about snatching Heavenly Blade Immortal Venerable's legacy, so naturally they were unwilling to start a war with the Heavenly Sword Great World.
However, after a war lasting three million years, no matter which side was wrong first, it was no longer important. What was important was to eliminate public anger, so the war continued.
After Crimson Flame Immortal King and the others discussed for a while, they all agreed to the opinions of the Immortal Kings of the Heavenly Blade Great World, so they made an oath under the witness of Gu Sheng.
Time passed quickly, and a year passed.
Within the Heavenly Sword Great World, Gu Sheng held the Chaos Xuanhuang Pagoda in his palm, once again feeling the familiar aura, and immediately fell into memories.
