The outer perimeter of the Taixu land.
A gray fog filled the air, and the world was permeated with an ancient and decaying atmosphere.
Suddenly, a spatial ripple appeared in the void.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xuan was seen breaking through the void and arriving, his white robes fluttering, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
The matter of the third disciple, Liu Ruyan, has been resolved.
Now only the last three fragments of the World Tree remain to be found.
These fragments are located in the deepest forbidden area of the Taixu Land – Wuyou Ferry!
"Master!"
The distant sky.
A figure rushed over; it was none other than the eldest disciple, Fang Li.
Fang Li was dressed in a black robe, with a sharp edge between his brows and a powerful aura around him. Clearly, his cultivation had improved again during the ten days he had been away.
He bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple has been waiting here for a long time."
Gu Xuan noticed that Murong Qingxue was not by Fang Li's side, and couldn't help but ask, "Disciple, where is your beloved minister Murong Qingxue? She's not with you."
The two of them before they left.
They were inseparable, practically glued together.
The fact that the two of them are not together now makes Gu Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.
“Master, the Battlefield of Gods and Demons is about to open, so Qingxue has returned to the family first. We’ll meet at the entrance of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons later,” Fang Li explained.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan suddenly understood.
Then, his gaze swept into the distance...
Near the edge of the Taixu land's interior, there stretched a vast, boundless plain.
Countless powerful individuals are gathering here at this moment.
They came from various different factions, and each of them exuded a powerful aura that made them a force to be reckoned with.
On this plain.
The flags of the major powers flew high, fluttering in the wind.
Countless enormous warships stretched across the sky, their bodies shimmering with celestial light, exuding an imposing aura, like giant beasts that had sailed from ancient times.
Gu Xuan's gaze lingered on the warships for a moment before returning to his own.
He turned to look at Fang Li and said slowly, "The battlefield of gods and demons is about to open, and all the major forces have sent their peerless geniuses to compete for opportunities."
“Disciple, you should also go in and gain some experience.”
"Master, won't you come in together?"
Gu Xuan smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "I am going to the forbidden area deeper in the Taixu Land—'Worry-Free Crossing'."
Fang Li's expression instantly turned serious; clearly, he knew what that place meant.
"The battlefield between gods and demons is extremely dangerous, but it is also a good place to hone oneself."
Before leaving, Gu Xuan instructed, "If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, crush the jade pendant, and I will sense it."
Fang Li nodded and said in a deep voice, "This disciple understands!"
Gu Xuan said no more.
With a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
......
He had just left, at the entrance to the heart of the Taixu land.
An ancient altar slowly rose, covered with divine and demonic runes, exuding a vast and terrifying aura.
"Boom!"
The altar trembled, and a huge pillar of light shot into the sky, tearing through the gray mist and reaching the heavens.
"Battlefield of Gods and Demons, open!"
A magnificent voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
In an instant.
A pale blue spatial entrance appeared out of thin air in the sky.
The entrance to the battlefield of gods and demons has been opened.
The prodigies from numerous top forces on the outskirts of Taixu were excited and transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the entrance.
Fang Li's gaze was cold and stern. With a flash, he also stepped into it.
——
Meanwhile, Gu Xuan had already traversed the outer area and headed deeper into the Taixu Land.
The deeper one goes, the thicker the gray fog becomes, and there is even a faint hint of blood in the mist.
Countless enormous skeletons were scattered on the ground.
Some are as large as mountains.
Some are just broken limbs, yet they still exude a terrifying aura.
"The remains of gods and demons..."
Gu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
These corpses are all gods and demons who fell in the previous era.
Even after millions of years, its residual aura can still influence the laws of heaven and earth.
"roar--"
Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out!
A huge, strange beast burst forth from the billowing gray mist!
It resembles a giant wolf, but has three heads, each of which is ferocious and terrifying, with menacing fangs.
His body was shrouded in dark resentment, and his aura had reached a transcendent state!
"Resentment manifesting in form?"
Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
These strange beasts were clearly formed from the resentment of the corpses of gods and demons, and their strength was terrifying!
An ordinary cultivator would surely die if he encountered this.
"Unfortunately, you've run into me."
Gu Xuan remained calm, simply raising his hand as the strange beast lunged at him.
"boom!"
An invisible force of rules descended.
His aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation at the Immortal Realm erupted—
Immediately afterwards, he smiled slightly and clenched his fist.
"Bang!"
The beast's three heads exploded simultaneously, and its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating.
Gu Xuan withdrew his hand and continued forward.
We basically pushed through the entire way!
......
The deeper you go, the stronger the resentment becomes, and the more powerful the strange beasts grow.
"roar--"
A giant ape, hundreds of feet tall, burst out of the gray mist, pounding its chest with its fists, causing the earth to crack.
Its aura had reached the early stage of the Heavenly Realm!
Gu Xuan remained calm, but his steps did not stop.
"boom!"
The giant ape roared and slammed down a punch, tearing the void apart with its force!
However, Gu Xuan simply raised his hand and pointed.
"The stronger the opponent, the stronger it becomes."
His aura suddenly surged, surpassing that of the giant ape!
"Destroy".
As the word was uttered, the giant ape's body suddenly froze, then crumbled inch by inch, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
——
And so, Gu Xuan swept his way through the enemy lines.
Wherever it went, all strange beasts were wiped out.
No matter how strong they are, anyone who dares to block his way will be crushed by his finger!
Finally, he arrived at the deepest part of the Taixu Land—
"Worry-free crossing".
Before me lay a lake as black as ink.
The lake was calm and still, yet it gave people a creepy feeling.
In the middle of the lake, a solitary island floats.
An ancient stone tablet can be vaguely seen on the island.
"The fragments of the World Tree should be there."
Gu Xuan's eyes were deep as he took a step forward and headed towards the isolated island.
However, just as he was about to land on the island—
"boom!"
Suddenly, the lake surface exploded, and a figure slowly emerged from the water.
It was a man dressed in a black robe, his face as pale as a corpse, but his eyes were bloodshot.
"Anyone who trespasses on the Worry-Free Ferry... shall die!"
His aura had reached the early stage of the Cave Heaven Realm!
Gu Xuan finally showed a serious expression, "Finally, someone decent has arrived."
