Wuzhiqi's final, desperate attack caused considerable damage, especially to its Yin-Yang Ancestral Mirror.
Of course, the peerless expert Wu Zhiqi actually perished in this way.
However, if there is another world, perhaps it will treat the Snow Woman better.
At this moment, within the Heavenly Demon Source Gate, with the death of Wuzhiqi, the sun of the Heavenly Demon Source Gate turned incomparably crimson, even appearing to be bleeding.
Some weaker demons, witnessing this scene, all bowed down in mourning.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Demon Source Gate, in a certain place, a gigantic demonic dragon emanated a terrifying power, no less than that of Wuzhiqi, and beneath it lay countless corpses.
Among them were two great emperors, several heavenly kings, and many divine rulers and true gods, all of whom died.
The dragon moved and slowly transformed into a bewitching girl dressed in black.
"I have finally reached the peak of the Great Emperor realm! Gu Yu, let's see what you can use to fight me this time! Hahaha..." This person was Lu Yao, and she laughed maniacally.
But as she laughed, her breathing suddenly became erratic, which caused her expression to change abruptly.
"Damn it, too much power has been grafted on, making it difficult for me to fully control it all at once," Lu Yao said somewhat irritably. "Fine, I'll let you live a little longer."
In the outside world, within just a few days, with the opening of the Heavenly Court's Source Gate, all races have submitted. Even some Source Gates that have not yet been opened have submitted after learning that the Heavenly Court has opened.
The news that Gu Yu possessed the Source Heart also reached the ears of the Heavenly Emperor. At this time, the four Great Emperors, along with countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and numerous Heavenly Court subjects, gathered in Mo City, surrounding it completely.
This terrified the people of Mo City, throwing them into chaos. Many suggested opening the formation to welcome the arrival of the Heavenly Court.
Gu Yu was extremely troubled at this moment. He knew all too well why the Heavenly Court had arrived so quickly.
The four emperors frowned as they looked at the Qiankun God-Slaying Array in Mo City.
Suddenly, four large seals appeared and bombarded Mo City.
Gu Yu immediately activated the Qiankun God-Slaying Array to its full potential, and the golden barrier instantly blocked the four large seals.
A terrifying roar immediately filled the air, shaking the entire world. Mo City trembled slightly at this moment, causing Gu Yu's expression to change slightly.
Although these four guys couldn't break the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation, they could still shake it.
"What a powerful formation!" the Eastern Heavenly Emperor exclaimed. "Even with the combined strength of the four of us, we probably wouldn't be able to break it."
"It seems we must ask the Heavenly Emperor for help," said the Southern Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, Gu Yu gathered the high-ranking officials of Mo City together.
"Gu Yu, you can't go." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Shi Shuai immediately said, and the others echoed his sentiments.
"Their target is me. They will only withdraw when I arrive. The Qiankun God-Slaying Formation is indeed powerful, but even with these heavenly soldiers and generals, plus the Heavenly Emperor and many other great emperors, it probably won't be able to hold out. At that time, Mo City will lose all its barriers," Gu Yu said.
Although they would suffer heavy losses if they broke the formation, the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation was the only barrier of Mo City. If Gu Yu were here, these people would naturally break the formation at all costs for the sake of the Source Heart. However, if Gu Yu were not here and the Source Heart was gone, naturally, these people would not risk injuring the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of their own to break the formation.
So he decided to sacrifice himself.
“I disagree,” Long Aotian said at this moment.
"My mind is made up. After I leave, you must protect Mocheng and my parents," Gu Yu said.
“Ah…” Someone was getting irritable at this moment. He hated his own powerlessness. Facing the Heavenly Court, he could only watch Gu Yu go to his death and could not do anything. This was too painful.
At that moment, space in the sky above Mo City distorted, and a figure slowly appeared.
"Everyone, if anyone in Mo City defectes to the Heavenly Court, make them leave immediately." Gu Yu frowned and immediately instructed everyone, "I entrust Mo City to you all."
“Gu Yu…” Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot at this moment.
"This is..." The Heavenly Emperor in the sky frowned as he looked at the operating Qiankun God-Slaying Array. "The Tongtian Daoist actually succeeded?"
With a flick of the Heavenly Emperor's hand, a massive, sky-covering hand suddenly pressed down on Mo City.
boom…………
With a deafening roar, Mo City trembled once more, but the massive energy hand was annihilated the instant it touched the Qiankun God-Slaying Array.
"What a powerful formation! If we try to break it by force, although we might succeed, it will probably kill or injure 70% of the people who come. Even I would be severely injured. What a Tongtian Daoist!" the Heavenly Emperor murmured.
"Humans of Mo City, my people! Your savior has arrived. From this day forward, you can rest assured, no longer worrying about war or oppression. Come and welcome your savior!" The Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke to the people of Mo City in his highly seductive voice.
In the desert city, upon hearing this voice, many people knelt down in devout reverence.
"My people! I know your devotion to me, but there are always some beings who are evil and tyrannical, vicious and cruel. It is because of their existence that the world is not in harmony, so they are our enemies. Go, kill them!" The Heavenly Emperor continued in his highly seductive voice.
The next second, many devout worshippers in Mo City, as if possessed, rushed towards the central villa area.
Facing the crowd rushing towards the central villa area, Gu Yu's expression turned cold. With a wave of his hand, he sent them flying.
"I'm counting on you all." After Gu Yu finished speaking, his figure suddenly appeared in the void.
"Are you the Heavenly Emperor?" Gu Yu asked, looking at the Heavenly Emperor before him.
"That's right." The Heavenly Emperor nodded at Gu Yu. "The fragment of the Source Core is with you?"
“That’s right.” Gu Yu nodded as well.
"Hand it over, kneel down and tell me the method of the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation, and I may spare your lives," the Heavenly Emperor said calmly.
"Wishful thinking." Gu Yu looked at the Heavenly Emperor and said, "It's one thing for you to want the Origin Heart Fragment, but you also want the method for the Qiankun God-Slaying Array. You're dreaming too much."
"Hehe..." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly became furious, and a large bow immediately appeared.
Upon seeing the large bow, Gu Yu's expression changed. It was Wu Zhiqi's Emperor-Slaying Bow, which had actually appeared in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor. This... He did not know that Wu Zhiqi had already died at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor.
"Your name is Gu Yu, right?" The Heavenly Emperor looked at Gu Yu and said, "You're just relying on the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation. Do you really think this formation can stop me?"
"Whether we can stop them or not, I believe you know better than I do," Gu Yu said to the Heavenly Emperor. "I'll go with you, and you release Mo Cheng."
"Heh..." Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Heavenly Emperor sneered, "You are not worthy to negotiate with me."
"Whether you're worthy or not, you can try it yourself," Gu Yu said coldly. The next second, the Qiankun God-Slaying Array suddenly activated at full power, and countless golden energies swept towards the Heavenly Emperor.
With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Emperor's power collided with the power of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array.
boom…………
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the entire Qiankun God-Slaying Array trembled violently, while the Heavenly Emperor took a few steps back.
"How was it?" Gu Yu looked at the Heavenly Emperor. "If you had forced your way through the formation, you should know the outcome very well, right?"
"Heh..." The Heavenly Emperor glared at Gu Yu with resentment. "Gu Yu, come with me. I'll give up Mo City. Besides, you know that my target is only you, or more precisely, the Fragment of the Source Heart."
"Okay!" Gu Yu nodded, glancing at Mo Cheng behind him. "Goodbye, Mom and Dad, goodbye, Ri Jiu, goodbye, my friends!"
At this moment, Gu Yu was filled with reluctance. The reason he took action was to tell the Heavenly Emperor that the Qiankun God-Slaying Formation was more powerful than it had imagined. If it were to forcibly break the formation, the result would be mutual destruction.
However, if he doesn't leave, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely forcefully break the formation. At that time, he will still die, and Mo City will also lose its protection and become a lamb to the slaughter.
He's been busy for so long, all for the sake of protecting his family and friends, right?
Gu Yu stepped out of the Qiankun God-Slaying Array. As he stepped out, he immediately felt a powerful force sweeping towards him.
Even the Heavenly Emperor cannot extract the Source Heart Fragment; only his death can make it possible.
At this moment, the Ice Phoenix Emperor was on the Heavenly Ascension Steps, looking at the projection in front of her, feeling a little anxious.
"Will you make a move?" Emperor Ice Phoenix asked, looking at Fu Xing.
"This is part of the plan. Someone will take care of it, don't worry," Fu Xing said calmly. "He won't die."
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor held a large bow and suddenly shot an arrow towards Gu Yu, who slowly closed his eyes.
Resistance? What could he possibly use to resist? He could only accept his fate. Of course, he also harbored a sliver of hope: would the person pulling the strings behind the scenes intervene?
After all, he felt that this was not his time to die. Whether he was alive or dead, or Number Two, they were all stronger than the Heavenly Emperor, and that was beyond doubt.
Just as the arrow was about to pierce Gu Yu's chest, a dazzling golden light instantly burst forth.
A ten-tailed fox blocked Gu Yu's path, its ten large tails instantly meeting the sharp arrows.
Boom... Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The arrow struck the ten large tails, instantly obliterating them. In the blink of an eye, the ten large tails vanished without a trace.
It was fast, but in Gu Yu's eyes it was slow, as if it had stopped.
"No...no..." Gu Yu suddenly realized what was happening and roared hysterically.
He rushed toward the fox, trying to push it away, but he was too slow; the arrow pierced the fox's body.
After the fox was pierced by the arrow, she instantly transformed into a graceful figure, and a power emanated from her body, instantly dissolving the arrow.
Her figure was filled with a poignant beauty as she gazed at Gu Yu with tender affection.
"Huh?" Fu Xing, standing on the Heavenly Steps, suddenly changed his expression. "What's going on? She wasn't part of the plan? How could she possibly block that arrow? This is impossible, who was it? This..."
“Ri Jiu.” Gu Yu hugged Ri Jiu tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"Gu Yu, I...I love you, I...I don't want you to die." Ri Jiu said, looking at Gu Yu tremblingly, her body dissipating at that moment.
"Rijiu, don't speak, you won't die, you won't die," Gu Yu said hoarsely, holding Rijiu in his arms.
At that moment, he was like a little child, filled with helplessness.
"Gu...Gu Yu, kiss me," Ri Jiu said, looking at Gu Yu.
Without hesitation, Gu Yu kissed Ri Jiu's lips.
"Gu...Gu Yu, do you love me?" Ri Jiu asked, looking at Gu Yu.
"I love you, I love you, Ri Jiu, I won't let you die," Gu Yu said immediately, but he couldn't stop Ri Jiu's annihilation.
At this moment, Rijiu is dissipating into scattered fragments.
"Ah..." Gu Yu suddenly unleashed a dense power of gods and demons, trying to stop Ri Jiu from dissipating, but it was all in vain.
"Gu...Gu Yu, promise me, you must live." After saying this, Ri Jiu gave a poignant smile, and then she disappeared without a trace.
Gu Yu tried frantically to catch the dissipating points of light, but he still couldn't reach them.
"Ah..." Gu Yu suddenly trembled all over. He was in pain, he was in great discomfort, he was in so much discomfort that he was going crazy.
Xu Ling'er became the Ice Phoenix Emperor, and now Ri Jiu is dead. Why? He couldn't even protect his own lover? Why?
"The high priest said, 'One day, I will die for you.'"
"The ordeal is over, and there's no need to worry anymore."
"Gu Yu, I like you."
I don't like you.
“Gu Yu…………”
The events that had occurred between Gu Yu and Ri Jiu flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
"Fate? Is it really impossible to defy it?" At this moment, Gu Yu was bathed in a dense divine and demonic power. He suddenly looked up at the sky, and tears of blood slid down his cheeks. "What is fate? Who controls fate? Who? Tell me, who are you? Ah... Give me back Ri Jiu."
At this moment, the divine and demonic power emanating from Gu Yu poured out like an ocean, making the entire sky feel incredibly oppressive.
"You do indeed possess divine and demonic power." At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor frowned as he looked at the somewhat crazed Gu Yu.
It sensed that the arrow just now wasn't blocked by Riju herself; there was a mysterious force at play, though it didn't know who it was.
"Die, all of you!" Gu Yu's gaze suddenly fell upon the Heavenly Emperor, the countless heavenly soldiers and generals, and the powerful figures of other races. The divine and demonic power emanating from his body poured out continuously, far exceeding his body's capacity to withstand it. This caused his skin to tear, his meridians to shatter, and his bones to crack...
A wooden sword appeared in his hand, and at this moment he looked like a demon from the deepest hell.
"Heaven and earth grieve together." Suddenly, a sense of desolation swept out, and this terrifying sense of desolation made everything around pale in comparison. Those with lower cultivation levels even coughed up blood.
"Kill him!" The Heavenly Emperor exclaimed in alarm upon sensing this power.
The next second, the four Great Emperors, along with numerous Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Emperors, as well as powerful figures from other races, all made their moves.
Four great seals, countless weapons, and the Heavenly Emperor's longsword suddenly swept towards the ancient universe.
"Aren't you going to make a move?" Seeing this, the Ice Phoenix Emperor looked at Fu Xing, who remained unmoved, and moved to leave.
With a mere wave of his hand, Fu Xing caused the Ice Phoenix Emperor to stiffen, instantly becoming immobilized on the spot.
"Who exactly intervened? Who interfered with what should have happened?" Fu Xing murmured, his eyes fixed on everything on the projected screen.
"Ah..." Gu Yu roared, and with his slash, the entire sky above Mo City turned pitch black in an instant, and endless spatial storms poured down.
At the same time, attacks from countless powerful individuals swept in.
boom…………
Time stood still for a moment when they collided. The next second, a terrifying force emanated from the ground, and the wooden sword in Gu Yu's hand and the source armor on his body exploded instantly. He was like a cannonball, falling into the distance.
Time seemed to slow down before his eyes, and memories flashed by like a slideshow.
"If...I...were...given...one...chance...I...would...definitely...annihilate...everything." Gu Yu murmured slowly, and the aura on its body instantly dissipated the next second.
He lost all vitality, and the Heavenly Emperor appeared beside Gu Yu in an instant. A fragment of the Source Heart immediately emanated from his body, and the Heavenly Emperor caught it.
"Haha..." Looking at the fragment of the Source Heart in his hand, the Heavenly Emperor burst into wild laughter.
At this moment, the Ice Phoenix Emperor on the Heavenly Steps was already in tears upon seeing this scene.
"Why did you lie to me? Why?" Unable to move, she could only stare at Fu Xing and question him.
However, Fu Xing did not answer the Ice Phoenix Emperor's question, his gaze remaining firmly fixed on Gu Yu in the image.
At this moment, Gu Yu had become a corpse, and he was falling, but no one went to catch him.
Countless eyes in the desert city were watching Gu Yu. Some were weeping bitterly, some were overjoyed, and some were praying.
Hopefully, the Heavenly Emperor won't hold them accountable for what Gu Yu did.
Just as Gu Yu was about to land, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly made a move. With a wave of its hand, Gu Yu's body instantly flew towards its direction.
"This child is clearly human, yet he possesses divine and demonic power; his body must be extraordinary."
Just then, the shattered wooden sword suddenly emitted a layer of emerald green light, and the next second, each fragment transformed into a tree branch, which swept towards Gu Yu's corpse flying towards the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor immediately tried to stop the branches, but the power emanating from them sent him flying.
"The Tree of Life?" The Heavenly Emperor frowned, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword reappeared. "Cut off these branches."
Immediately, everyone attacked again, and terrifying power swept out once more.
But at this moment, countless tree branches had already enveloped Gu Yu, and the next second, both the tree branches and Gu Yu suddenly disappeared.
"Damn it." The Heavenly Emperor said coldly upon seeing this scene.
"Heavenly Emperor, what should we do?" The Eastern Heavenly Emperor asked, looking at the Desert City protected by the Qiankun God-Slaying Array.
"This formation is now fully operational, so we don't need to worry about it for the time being. You all need to do your best to find the fragments of the Source Heart," the Heavenly Emperor instructed, and then it vanished in an instant.
