Chapter 1749 - 887: Barely Reached
While swinging the Southern Emperor Sword, Gu Sheng deflected increasingly fierce claw marks, the corner of his mouth curving into a cold arc. 'Is it finally time for the hidden dagger to emerge?'
Xiao Beixuan saw that Gu Sheng's face not only lacked panic but even wore a mocking cold smile, which inexplicably stirred unease in his heart.
Gu Sheng's growth over the past month was truly terrifying. Every time Xiao Beixuan thought he had figured out the opponent's trump card, the opponent would always erupt with even more terrifying power.
This uncontrollable feeling bred an indescribable fear and irritability in his heart.
"I can't delay any longer! I must use the final means to crush him completely!"
The last trace of sanity in Xiao Beixuan's eyes was replaced by madness. He abruptly stopped retreating, raised his four demon arms high, and let out a hysterical roar filled with endless venom and bloodthirsty desire.
"In the name of Xiao Beixuan, I am willing to sacrifice the blood and souls of billions of creatures in this Great Wilderness City! I beseech the Ancient Monarch across the river of time, descend with Your supreme will, and help me slay this beast—!!!"
This roar seemed to contain some peculiar rule power, penetrating the void to reach some unknown, unfathomable distant place!
As the words fell—
"Buzz!!!"
Countless ancient characters formed from blood around Xiao Beixuan suddenly erupted into blinding blood light! All the characters instantly melted and converged into a thick blood column over ten feet in diameter, like a blood-colored waterfall flowing backward, roaring skyward, directly piercing the top of the vault of heaven!
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light!
The sky seemed to have been splashed with thick blood, dyed a heart-pounding dark red! The entire world shook violently, the earth cracked, and mountains collapsed!
Space became extremely unstable, with tiny black cracks flickering in and out of the void, making sounds like glass shattering!
An indescribable, prehistoric horror aura began to seep out slowly from the void, as if some unimaginable supreme existence was about to forcibly break the barrier of time and space to arrive here!
"Buzz…"
An intention, seemingly crossing the endless river of time, carrying ancient vicissitudes and indifferent lifelessness, responded to Xiao Beixuan's sacrifice like a faint ripple.
"Sacrifice... completed... I… Tianmingzi… grant you…"
Though weak, this intention carried a supreme majesty above all living beings, clearly resonating in the depths of the souls of every being that sensed the wave!
"This is not good!"
"It's an Ancient Forbidden Summoning Secret Technique!"
"Xiao Beixuan is crazy! He wants to sacrifice the entire Great Wilderness City to summon the True Demon sealed in the river of time!"
"Quick! Stop him!!"
In the depths of Heaven City, within the Holy Academy in Great Wilderness City, those high-level officials who originally followed the Dean's orders in silence could no longer sit idly, all turning pale with horror!
They were more aware of the terror of such an Ancient Forbidden Secret Technique than anyone. If the summoned will of the "Ancient Monarch" truly descended, even just a trace would be enough to turn the entire Great Wilderness City into a dead land, making billions of living beings sacrifices!
"Issue the order! From this moment, Great Wilderness City enters the highest-level alert, Tian Character!"
"All senior members of the Holy Academy and Venerables from major families, hear the order! At any cost, stop the descent of the Ancient True Demon!"
"Activate the prototype of the 'Circulation Stars Formation'! Hurry!"
Urgent commands, imbued with supreme authority, instantly spread throughout the core of Great Wilderness City!
"Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!"
In the next moment, thousands of dazzling tunneling lights, like a meteor shower flying in reverse, burst skyward from all corners of the inner city of Great Wilderness City! Among them were terrifying auras of Venerable Realm, rushing skyward like signal smoke, fiercely charging towards the direction of Phoenix Town with deadly intent!
"Gu! Retreat quickly!!"
From afar, Xia Wuyou, who was using True Qi to firmly protect Gu Yuanyuan, also had a dramatic change in expression. Unable to worry about hiding, Xia let out a thunderous shout, transforming into a grey light tearing through the sky, rushing towards the battle center at the fastest speed, intending to forcibly take Gu Sheng away!
Meanwhile, at the very center of the storm, Gu Sheng's face also turned extremely grim!
As that so-called "Tianmingzi" intention responded and the celestial changes began, a series of broken and vague memory fragments flashed through Gu Sheng's mind like lightning! The ancient characters formed from blood, the summoned aura filled with filth and lifelessness… gave him an eerie sense of familiarity!
'This aura… these divine runes… I seem to… have seen them somewhere?!' A strong sense of unease and regret surged in his heart, 'Damn it! I was too careless this time! I actually let him complete this sacrifice ritual!'
...
"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"
Floating under the skyward blood column, Xiao Beixuan felt the soul-trembling horror pressure seeping from the void and let out a maniacal laugh filled with the joy of revenge and madness.
"Gu Sheng! Do you see?! This is the true power of the Young Master! This is the power that can crush you, crush everything! With the Secret Technique completed, you will surely die today! Everyone in Great Wilderness City will be buried with you! Hahaha!"
Amid his wild laughter—
"Crack—!!!"
A sound like the backbone of heaven and earth being broken rang out from the blood-colored sky canopy above everyone!
The sky, dyed dark red, cracked inch by inch like fragile glazed tiles, spreading numerous huge, bottomless black cracks! Immediately, a monstrous blood sea, thick and fetid, seemingly made of countless life grievances and foul blood, poured crazily from those cracks as if the Milky Way broke its banks!
The scent of blood soared skyward, instantly permeating the world within hundreds of miles, nauseating all!
At the same time, that eternal vicissitudes and indifferent lifeless intention reverberated again, as if issuing a judgment.
"Blasphemer… shall be executed…"
As the words fell, an indescribable terrifying pressure, like mountains of millions of feet, or the weight of an entire Star Domain, suddenly descended from beyond the sky canopy, precisely locking onto Gu Sheng!
"Thud! Thud!"
In the direction of Great Wilderness City, the thousands of figures flying at high speed were like dumplings, with those of weaker Cultivation even failing to let out a scream, bursting into clouds of blood mist on the spot under the pressure's aftermath! Even King Realm experts were hit hard, vomiting blood, falling from the sky like birds with broken wings!
And bearing the main brunt, Gu Sheng only felt the surrounding space instantly turn into solidified Mystic Ice of ten thousand years, imprisoning him where he stood, unable to even move a finger!
"Crack… Crack…"
The sound of shattering, tooth-achingly sharp, came from his Glazed Golden Body that was as tough as a Sect Realm Divine Weapon! Under the irresistible terrifying pressure, his proud and mighty flesh instantly became covered in dense, spider-web-like cracks! Precious blood, red with gold, frantically seeped from countless cracks, instantly turning him into a bloody man!
"Ugh…!"
Gu Sheng groaned lowly, his face turning as pale as paper, his Qi-blood roiling inside, as though his internal organs had shifted, and waves of pain swept through his body like tides!
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Gu Sheng's miserable condition, Xiao Beixuan laughed even more madly and wantonly, his voice piercingly sharp.
"Gu Sheng! No matter how remarkable your talent is, no matter how frequent your fortuitous encounters are, in the face of true ancient might, you are nothing more than a slightly stronger ant! Arrogance is the cause of your demise today! The Young Master has said, you will die today! Not only will you die, but everyone in this Great Wilderness City will be buried with you!!"
Above the sky, the cracks like shattered glazed tiles continued to expand, shedding more and more fragments. An indescribably enormous phantom figure slowly emerged from behind the cracks.
Its height unknown by how many thousands of feet, seemingly with its head touching the heavens and feet stepping on the Nine Nether, although its form was vague and indistinct, with specific features unclear, the twisted, shifting silhouette filled with endless grievances and lifelessness radiated an eerie chill that could freeze the soul.
