Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye...
The center of the primordial universe.
The region where the Xuanhuang Great World is located is a vast and boundless expanse of starry sky.
Gu Xuan stood in the void, surrounded by chaotic energy, his aura vast and boundless. With every move he made, the laws of the Great Dao flowed according to his will.
"Peak of the Chaos Realm..."
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, piercing through the endless void, looking towards the distant outer passage—the only connection between the Xuanhuang Universe and the Star River Domain, and also the path through which the strange race invaded back then.
"It's about time... to settle the score properly."
He took a step forward.
The void collapsed, and the figure vanished instantly.
........
The mysterious universe, the passage beyond the boundary.
Even after several eras have passed, this place remains a chaotic and turbulent place.
Countless fragments of shattered stars floated among them, silently recounting the devastation of the great war when the strange race invaded the Xuanhuang Universe.
Gu Xuan stepped into this place, his brows furrowing slightly.
"The seal here... is starting to loosen?"
He could sense a strange, dark aura seeping into the depths of the passage, as if some force was trying to tear the seal apart.
At this moment, Xiaoqing's voice rang in his mind: "Master, it must be the powerful members of the strange race outside the outer passage who forcibly broke the seal, which is why the seal of the outer passage, which originally took them a hundred years to open, has now been shortened by about fifty years."
Upon hearing this...
Gu Xuan suddenly realized that it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive late.
However, just as he was preparing to investigate further—
"Buzz!"
An aged yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out: "Who dares to trespass into the outer passage?!"
The next second, the void in this area of the outer passage suddenly trembled!
Then a phantom figure slowly materialized. It was an old man with white hair and a hunched back, yet he exuded a chilling aura.
His body was almost transparent.
It was clearly just a remnant soul, but its eyes still shone as brightly as stars.
"The Mysterious Old Man..."
Gu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he blurted out the other person's name.
It wasn't that they recognized the old man Xuanhuang's identity, but rather that Xiaoqing, the tree spirit of the World Tree, excitedly recognized him immediately.
Upon hearing this, the old man's gaze sharpened.
He scrutinized Gu Xuan closely, then his face lit up with shock: "Peak of the Chaos Realm?! This... how is this possible?!"
Back then, he fought against six Heavenly Lords of the Strange Clan with his Heavenly Lord cultivation, and finally killed them with his life on the line, but he was also exhausted.
The person before them had actually reached the legendary Chaos Realm.
This is a watershed between immortals and gods.
Reaching this level does not make one a true god.
But that was still a demigod.
Just one step away from entering the true divine realm—the God Lord!
"The Yangtze River's waves push the front waves forward... In the vast universe, such a person as you has emerged!" The old man Xuanhuang exclaimed with deep emotion.
Gu Xuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Senior protected my Xuanhuang Universe with your own strength back then. I admire you greatly."
The old man sighed, a look of sorrow in his eyes: "Unfortunately... I was ultimately unable to completely stop them."
Speaking of which...
He looked into the depths of the passage, his tone grave: "The strange race... will return sooner or later!"
"The senior is right, the strange race is still unwilling to give up,"
Gu Xuan's eyes were icy: "That's why I came here today, to break the seal on the outer passage, head to the Star River Domain, annihilate the stronghold of the strange race, and completely eliminate this scourge!"
The remnant soul of the Xuanhuang Elder trembled, then revealed a look of satisfaction: "Good! Good! Good!"
He said "Good" three times in succession, and then solemnly clasped his hands and bowed: "I humbly request that you avenge the blood feud of the past for my Xuanhuang Universe human race!"
Gu Xuan nodded: "That was my original purpose."
Upon hearing this, the remnant soul of the Xuanhuang Elder finally revealed a relieved smile.
But then, his figure began to fluctuate violently, as if he might dissipate at any moment. "It seems... my remnant soul has reached its limit..."
He gave a bitter laugh, his figure becoming increasingly ethereal.
Seeing this, Gu Xuan frowned. "Senior has sacrificed so much for the Xuanhuang Universe, how can you just disappear like this?"
He suddenly raised his hand.
A dazzling green rune appeared in his palm—the Rule of Endless Life!
In addition, a wisp of golden light appeared next to the endless cycle of life, which was a trace of the World Tree's primordial power.
The old man Xuanhuang immediately sensed the power of the World Tree's origin emerging in Gu Xuan's hand.
He froze, a look of surprise on his face!
This is... the World Tree!
Back then, to prevent the strange race from invading the entire Xuanhuang Universe through the World Tree, he single-handedly destroyed the World Tree.
Now, a wisp of the World Tree's primal power has appeared in Gu Xuan's hand.
That also means... the World Tree has been restored!
This left the old man Xuanhuang utterly astonished.
Leaving aside Elder Xuanhuang's disbelief, Gu Xuan shouted, "Condense!"
The next moment.
He then infused the endless, life-giving rules, along with a wisp of the World Tree's primordial power, into the Xuanhuang Elder's remnant soul, which was like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of annihilation.
At the same time, Gu Xuan unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, the power of reincarnation intertwined, reshaping his soul!
"boom--!"
The void trembled, and the remnant soul of the Xuanhuang Elder was enveloped by boundless vitality, his physical body being reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye!
His aura began to rise rapidly!
Heavenly Monarch Realm... Early Creation Realm... Mid Creation Realm!
Finally, the Xuanhuang Elder suddenly opened his eyes, and a vast pressure swept across the surrounding area!
"I... I'm alive?!"
He looked down at his hands, feeling the surging power within him, and was utterly awestruck.
Gu Xuan withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Senior has accumulated a lot of experience and has now entered the mid-stage of the Creation Realm."
The old man Xuanhuang took a deep breath, then knelt down on one knee without hesitation, clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "I have no way to repay the kindness of Lord Gu Xuan! From this day forward, I am willing to follow you, even if it means going through fire and water!"
Gu Xuan nodded slightly: "Alright, then come with me... to flatten the Star River Domain and annihilate the strange race!"
"To avenge the many beings who died at their hands in the Xuanhuang Universe back then, and to comfort their souls in heaven!!"
"That's right, let the strange race pay for their blood debts!"
The old man stood up, his eyes burning: "Master, please allow me to tear this seal open with my own hands!"
Gu Xuan nodded.
The Xuanhuang Elder let out a long roar, and the power of the mid-stage Creation Realm erupted, striking the seal of the outer passage with a palm!
"Boom—!"
The seal has been broken, and the passage is now completely open!
An endless aura of the starry sky rushed towards him. Gu Xuan's eyes were cold as he stepped in: "The Strange Race... your doomsday has arrived!"
