On the ruins of the Heavenly Court.
Gu Xuan slowly sheathed his sword, looked up at a certain point in the void, as if meeting the gazes of the powerful figures watching the battle: "Have you seen enough?"
These words struck like a thunderbolt.
The wisps of divine thoughts that had been secretly watching were so frightened that they all retreated.
Xu Xinnian rushed over: "Master, are you alright?"
Gu Xuan shook his head.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned.
Where Jie'an fell, a wisp of black smoke silently drifted into the sky...
Gu Xuan's gaze was like lightning, his golden divine eyes instantly locking onto the wisp of fleeing black smoke.
With a flick of the sword.
A sword aura that swept across the starry river roared out, but was neutralized by some invisible force the instant it touched the black smoke.
"snort!"
Gu Xuan snorted coldly and was about to give chase when suddenly his figure swayed.
Xu Xinnian rushed forward to help him up, only to find that his master's white robes were already soaked with cold sweat.
"Master!"
"It's alright."
Gu Xuan waved his hand and said, "That sword strike just now consumed thirty percent of my divine power; I need to recuperate for a moment."
The powerful figures who had been watching from afar finally appeared.
The Tongtian Sect Leader arrived first, sword in hand, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords clanging behind him: "Fellow Daoist Gu, it's been half a year, and your cultivation has advanced terrifyingly..."
Yuanshi Tianzun descended slowly in his nine-dragon sandalwood chariot, his tone complex: "That God-Slaying Sword Formation just now..."
"I borrowed from Fellow Daoist Tongtian's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation," Gu Xuan said frankly.
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily: "What a brilliant borrowing! This improved sword formation is even more powerful than my original version!"
"Amitabha Buddha."
Laozi also arrived riding a blue ox. "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Gu, on slaying the ancient god. However, that strange race..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The void above the Heavenly Court suddenly twisted violently.
A colossal vortex spanning millions of miles slowly took shape, and from its center came a chilling whisper: "Kill my Heavenly King... Xuanhuang Universe, Gu Xuan... you are very good..."
That sound.
It seemed to come from the deepest hell.
The celestial official with slightly weaker cultivation fainted on the spot!
Even the leaders of the three religions changed their expressions drastically and each summoned their protective magic treasures.
"Lord of the Uncanny!"
Laozi's expression finally changed, and the whisk in his hand transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long white ribbon to protect everyone.
Gu Xuan laughed loudly, "A rat hiding its head and showing its tail!"
"If you have the guts to descend in your true form, I, this god, will slay you along with me!"
The being within the vortex remained silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a chilling laugh rang out: "Heh heh, arrogant!"
"This day will come very soon... very soon..."
As the voice faded, the vortex gradually subsided.
But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
"This is a huge problem."
Laozi said in a deep voice, "The Lord of Mysteries is at least a high-level deity."
The Tongtian Sect Leader, however, was brimming with fighting spirit: "What's there to be afraid of! We'll meet force with force! My 100,000 immortals of the Jie Sect are ready to fight at any time!"
"That's a god, not a celestial being."
"Even a million immortals are nothing but ants before a god!"
An old man's voice came from afar, refuting the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader without any politeness.
"Who goes there?!"
The Master of the Heavens frowned and looked in the direction of the sound...
In the blink of an eye.
Then an old man in a gray robe appeared before them.
When Laozi saw the gray-robed old man, he showed a look of astonishment and disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "May I ask, are you the Elder Xuanhuang in person?!"
"It is indeed I."
The old man nodded.
Then, his gaze fell on Laozi, and he laughed, "I never thought that the wisp of chaotic energy that I casually created back then would actually transform into a human."
"Without your actions back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here today," Lao Tzu said humbly.
"hehe."
The old man smiled.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master on the side were also greatly alarmed.
They never expected that this gray-robed old man was actually the master of the Xuanhuang Universe—the Xuanhuang Elder!
But isn't he dead?
A wisp of remnant soul is still suppressed on the outer passage.
But the next move by the Old Man Xuanhuang not only stunned the two of them, but also made Laozi (Taishang Laojun) show a look of astonishment!
The old man, Xuanhuang, bowed respectfully to Gu Xuan and said, "Master."
This moment.
They looked at each other in bewilderment!
Holy crap, the Old Man Xuanhuang is actually calling Gu Xuan "master"! What... what on earth happened?!
"Um."
Gu Xuan responded, glanced at the old man Xuanhuang, and asked, "Do you know the strength of that strange lord?"
"Master, this old servant understands."
The old man from Xuanhuang cupped his hands and said, "That strange lord is a primordial deity at the peak of the God-Emperor realm!"
"God?"
Gu Xuan's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he were thinking about something.
But when the others heard that the strange lord's cultivation had reached the peak of the God Venerable realm, their expressions darkened and their hearts grew slightly heavy.
God!
Destroying a mere lower-level universe like the Xuanhuang Universe would be a piece of cake.
A moment later.
Gu Xuan came to his senses and said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. He's just a god, nothing to worry about."
The old man nodded and said, "Master, your battle just now brought the boundary of the Primordial Immortal Realm to the brink of collapse. The most urgent task now is to repair the damaged boundary of the Primordial Immortal Realm."
"That makes sense."
Gu Xuan said, "Elder Xuanhuang, you go and handle it."
"Yes, Master."
The old man Xuanhuang responded and disappeared from the spot.
