One Against Five!
Chapter 884 One Against Five!
Before Gu Yuanqing's laughter had even faded, a sudden change occurred!
Just ten feet away from him, ripples suddenly appeared in the space.
A streak of azure light shot out, faster than divine sense could perceive, and went straight for Gu Yuanqing's head!
Wherever the light passed, even space itself was cut into fine black cracks, and a Daoist aura that dissolved all things and assimilated spiritual energy permeated the air.
This move was ruthless and cunning, and the timing was impeccable!
Gu Yuanqing glanced at it sideways, smiled calmly, as if he had expected it. The moment the wind blade touched his body, his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared, leaving only a fragment of a phantom.
In the next instant, he appeared ten miles away.
"Formless and shapeless, dissolving into the void... The Myriad Transformations True Meaning of the Heavenly Myriad Transformations Wind Seal? It's suitable for a sneak attack, but it's still a bit lacking if you want to kill me."
In the void, a figure dressed in a green robe emerged—it was Feng Wuhen!
His face was cold and stern as he said indifferently, "Your spatial mastery is indeed extraordinary to be able to dodge the Boundless Wind Blade. With such strength as a demigod, you would be considered a prodigy even in the Dharma Source Realm. You certainly have the right to be arrogant. However, you have come to the wrong place!"
"The gathering of three True Gods is indeed quite interesting." Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm as he stood with his hands behind his back, facing the three True Gods. "Should we attack them one by one, or all at once?"
"Arrogant!" Li Huang roared angrily and made the first move.
The Thunder God's Dharma form revealed its divine power, the Heavenly Thunder Mirror appeared, and the power of thunder transformed into six purple-black thunder dragons that flew out and attacked Gu Yuanqing from all directions.
Mu Qingxuan made his move almost simultaneously, manipulating the power of the Nirvana Purification Cauldron. The Purification Flame was gathered and condensed, transforming into thin, hair-like chains of purification flame that coiled around Gu Yuanqing.
Feng Wuhen's figure flickered and merged into the void once more. He pushed the power of the Qiongtian Wanhua Difeng Seal to its limit, transforming it into an invisible and intangible fixed-space gale that quietly permeated the battlefield, thus interfering with and delaying Gu Yuanqing's spatial teleportation.
Even if these three beings who once ascended to the position of true gods were merely remnants of their souls, their combat experience and understanding of the rules far surpassed that of ordinary people.
At this moment, they joined forces, each contributing their strengths. Li Huang launched a frontal assault to block and seal them off, Mu Qingxuan controlled and restrained them, and Feng Wuhen interfered and suppressed them, their cooperation being seamless.
Gu Yuanqing's smile faded slightly. Although these three were remnant souls and dared not unleash the power of true gods, their combined power with the power of the rule artifacts far surpassed that of ordinary peak demigods. In terms of the strength they were displaying at this moment, each of them was at the level of a demon lord of the Nine Domains Divine Continent.
Gu Yuanqing felt the pressure increase dramatically, and the surrounding space became viscous and stagnant; the thunder dragon attacked, containing destructive power; the purifying fire chains were even more persistent, following the subtle traces of his magic power flow and wrapping around him, making it even more impossible for him to use the power of this world.
He dared not be arrogant, and his true power crossed realms to infuse his body with the Heavenly Fishing Technique.
The Myriad Manifestations Sword Domain of Calamity was unleashed, its invisible sword energy crisscrossing and slicing through the approaching chains of pure fire.
At the same time, he made a sword incantation with his hands, and the Azure Nether Sword flew out with a whoosh, sometimes dodging and sometimes blocking, clashing with the Thunder Dragon.
However, under the combined suppression of the three true gods, Gu Yuanqing's spatial advantage was greatly weakened, his dodging became more difficult, and the range he could maneuver in became smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, Mu Qingxuan seized the opportunity, made a hand seal, and the phantom of the Nirvana Purification Cauldron appeared, descending upon Gu Yuanqing.
Gu Yuanqing used the Myriad Paths Return to the Void Palm to shatter the cauldron, but his figure also fell a hundred feet downwards!
"Now!"
Lightning flashed in Li Huang's eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed, and the illusory image of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror transformed into a purple lightning spear that had been condensed to the extreme. He threw it with force, and the spear appeared directly in front of Gu Yuanqing's chest as soon as it left his hand.
Although these old guys from the Ancient Divine Sect didn't specialize in the Dao of Space like Gu Yuanqing, for cultivators at the True God level, breaking through the void was just a trivial matter.
Mu Qingxuan's Purifying Fire Chains erupted once more, coiling around Gu Yuanqing's limbs like countless venomous snakes.
Feng Wuhen formed a hand seal, and the Qiongtian Wanhua Zhifeng Seal appeared above his head. With a flick of his sleeve, the Wanhua Gangfeng swept away, this wind eroding all things, corroding space, and specifically breaking through all kinds of protective divine powers and magical treasures.
With various forces intersecting, Gu Yuanqing seemed to be instantly plunged into a perilous situation.
But he just smiled calmly, and his body disappeared abruptly again.
"That trick again?!"
Mu Qingxuan, Li Huang, and Feng Wuhen were all at the first level of concentration.
Gu Yuanqing's spatial manipulation techniques are simply incredible; even the three of them working together couldn't contain him.
In the next instant, he broke free and arrived three hundred feet away from Li Huang. With a wave of his hand, a beam of dark yellow light flew towards Li Huang.
Li Huang gathered his divine power and unleashed a punch. The mysterious yellow light revealed its form, which was none other than Bei Quan Zhen Shi Yin.
Boom!
Lightning flashed everywhere, silver snakes danced, and shockwaves swept in all directions.
Li Huang let out a muffled groan and was thrown backward. He felt as if his fist had struck a divine mountain. The power of the thunder had not harmed the seal in the slightest. On the contrary, the power of the thunderous seal that enveloped his true god power almost shattered.
He felt truly frustrated, having the power but daring not to use it, fighting three against one, yet being suppressed by the opponent instead!
Gu Yuanqing then manipulated the Azure Sword to pursue Li Huang, and countless sword lights enveloped Li Huang.
Sword light and lightning clashed, unleashing boundless brilliance, and cracks continuously appeared in the void due to their clash.
Suddenly, Li Huang roared and unleashed his power, turning the surrounding area into a sea of thunder that forced the Azure Sword back.
"Li Huang, calm down!"
With a loud shout, Mu Qingxuan unleashed a raging divine fire that transformed into a barrier, separating the pursuing Azure Nether Sword light.
Feng Wuhen also made a move, unleashing layers of invisible, ever-changing gale force that swept towards Gu Yuanqing.
The lightning on Li Huang's Dharma form fluctuated violently. There were more than a dozen sword marks all over his body, which were emanating wisps of platinum sword energy, intertwined and eroded with his purple-gold lightning, and his soul was in pain.
These sword intents clung to his soul like a malignant tumor, difficult to remove.
His face was ashen, and the lightning on his body surged almost out of control. Although the true divine source he had just unleashed in his rage had instantly forced back the Azure Nether Sword, it had also caused cracks to appear in the lightning seal on his body that isolated him from the secrets of heaven.
Immediately, a faint aura of divine punishment appeared in the sky, causing him to feel a jolt in his heart.
He suppressed his boiling anger and the potential backlash, and looked at the composed Gu Yuanqing in the distance, feeling a sense of apprehension.
He lowered his voice and said, "This fiend... not only is its spatial manipulation strange, but its sword intent is also so troublesome, specifically targeting the physical body and eroding the soul! It's completely different from ordinary sword techniques; even my divine power cannot completely suppress it!"
The more he fought against Gu Yuanqing, the more alarmed he became.
The gap between demigods and true gods should be as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
He condensed his divine spark with the power of the divine artifact Juntian Leixiaojian, and his divine soul dharma form was transformed from the power of the divine artifact. Even though he could not display its power or truly use the power of a true god, it was still incredible that Gu Yuanqing could injure him like this.
Gu Yuanqing withdrew, summoned the Azure Nether Sword back to his side, and chuckled, "The three of you... if your skills stop here, you'll likely disappoint me today. Hesitant and timid, always looking before and after, afraid to do this and worried about that, where is even a trace of the domineering spirit of your former true gods? Have you been lying in this coffin for too long, forgetting even how to fight to the death?" These words were like a dagger to the heart, each sentence striking at the most painful spot the three remnant souls of true gods were unwilling to face.
They possess higher realms and greater power, yet their hands and feet are shackled by the rules of heaven and earth, making them fight so humiliatingly against a junior whose realm is lower than their own.
All three were secretly furious and attacked again.
Four figures clashed fiercely in the void, their radiance obscuring the sun and moon and eclipsing the world.
Within the Primordial Realm, countless people raised their heads, gazing at the sky.
During the battle, the true gods of the Primordial God Sect naturally did not want to damage the Primordial Realm itself, so they deliberately led the battle to the high sky.
Gu Yuanqing only had grievances against the Taigu Divine Sect and did not want to harm innocent people.
However, the cultivators below could not see it clearly; even those at the Shattered Heaven level could not discern the specific changes.
Within the Ancient Divine Sect, the cultivators also wore solemn expressions.
Today's changes were beyond their expectations. For many cultivators of the Ancient Divine Sect, they didn't even know until today that there were so many ancestors in the Ancestral Hall.
Gu Yuanqing's strength was even more unbelievable to them.
Qi Yichen and other Shattered Heaven cultivators had sharp eyes. The strength displayed by their ancestor far surpassed that of Mu Tianheng and the other Undying Chaos cultivators. Yet, even under such circumstances, the three of them, working together, could not defeat Gu Yuanqing.
He found it hard to imagine how Gu Yuanqing, a cultivator who had only cultivated for a little over six hundred years, had reached such a level!
Apart from that, the cultivators of the Ancient Divine Sect were all preoccupied with their own worries.
Besides worrying about the outcome of this great battle, he was also concerned about Gu Yuanqing's words.
Over the past few hundred years, too many things have happened to this sect.
Former sect leader Mu Tianheng, law enforcement elder Li Lingyun, surveillance elder Guo Yongquan, and lineage leader of the Nine Heavens lineage Lei Fuyue—all former top experts of the Ancient Divine Sect—have defected from the sect, leaving such a large sect as the Ancient Divine Sect without even a single Undying Chaos cultivator!
There must be a secret hidden within this that they are unaware of.
But today, Gu Yuanqing said it out loud in front of everyone!
Although they were unsure whether it was slander or truth, there were always some secrets circulating within the sect, and the two could corroborate each other, making it difficult for them to remain calm.
Some even believe that the subsequent intervention by the patriarch was intended to prevent Gu Yuanqing from saying more.
Of course, no one discussed these things; they all kept them to themselves.
……
The great battle in the sky continues.
Gu Yuanqing's strength seemed to grow stronger with each battle. These people dared not use their True God level power. The only thing that made him somewhat wary was the special power of certain rule artifacts.
Meanwhile, the True God experts of the Ancient Divine Sect were increasingly alarmed, as the three of them were beginning to be suppressed by Gu Yuanqing!
But suddenly, change occurs again.
Billions of stars intertwine in the void, a giant image obscuring the sky.
Gu Yuanqing looked up and said, "It seems he finally couldn't hold back anymore."
The Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram!
It was Zhou Tianyan who made the move, using the Hunyuan Zhoutian Star Canon to guide the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram to conceal the heavenly secrets, so that these remnant souls of true gods could unleash the power of true gods.
However, he immediately discovered that there was another force intertwined within!
When the two powers combine, the power of the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram is pushed to a whole new level!
Gu Yuanqing felt that his spiritual senses were greatly disturbed and even distorted, as if a thin mist was covering his spiritual senses and six senses!
The surrounding spatial structure seemed to have changed as well, as if the power of the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram permeated the entire space, and this world seemed to have been forcibly endowed with a new order and rules, making the space exceptionally solid.
Moreover, an invisible force quietly arose within him, causing the circulation of his immortal energy to stagnate.
"Finally... they're getting serious?"
After Gu Yuanqing forced Mu Qingxuan, Li Huang, and Feng Wuhen to retreat one after another, his expression began to become truly serious.
The power at the demigod level was just a warm-up. Up until now, he has mostly used the power of his own body and has not used the power of the cave heaven.
Through constant clashes, one becomes familiar with the power of these rules and artifacts.
He knew that these old guys would make a real move sooner or later. They came to the Qian Yuan Realm to kill him, and he had delivered himself to their doorstep. How could he possibly hold back?
Li Huang watched Gu Yuanqing retreat, a ferocious smile spreading across his face: "Trying to escape now? It's a bit too late!"
As he spoke, his aura began to rise rapidly. Because of the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram, he began to release his own restrictions, and the phantom of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror almost solidified, which was formed by the power of the divine spark.
The auras of Mu Qingxuan and Feng Wuhen also began to rise, and the power of the Purifying Flame and the Myriad Transformations Gale surged, their colors becoming even deeper and more terrifying!
The pressure from the True God level was transmitted outwards, as if even space itself could not bear it and groaned in agony.
At the same time, a Dharma image formed from starlight appeared, which was Zhou Tianyan.
In another direction, a Dharma form with a body like a mountain and a mind like the earth also appeared; this was Yan Guichi.
Five true gods, residing in five directions, surrounded Gu Yuanqing in the center.
"Escape? I'm not here to escape! I'd like to truly see just how much true god power you possess!" Gu Yuanqing scanned his surroundings, his eyes sharpening.
Previously, in the Qian Yuan Realm, although he had also made a move, he was too cautious and dared not fight with all his might.
Although the Great Dao of the Qian Yuan Realm is perfect, it is, after all, a newly advanced world, and if a mistake is made, countless people will die in the Great Qian.
There's no such concern here!
Gu Yuanqing's aura also began to rise rapidly. This time, he was serious. The power of his cave heaven began to be added to his body, as if he had broken through to the limit of the Void Immortal in an instant!
Or rather, its realm and foundation are still at the level of a Void Immortal, but its immense power makes the quantitative change almost equivalent to a qualitative change!
Li Huang, Mu Qingxuan and the others' pupils shrank slightly. They thought to themselves that this Gu was indeed not simple. No wonder he dared to come to the Primordial Realm alone. No wonder the Great Venerable also regarded him as a threat!
However, they also had doubts in their hearts. The increase in power was somewhat strange, and they couldn't help but wonder if Gu Yuanqing also had a divine spark hidden in his body.
In fact, even after the battle has gone on for so long, they still haven't figured out Gu Yuanqing's background!
Because Gu Yuanqing had never used the power of the rule artifact from beginning to end, and it was unknown what kind of great path he cultivated, it was only known that his swordsmanship and spatial arts were profound, and he could use all kinds of spells at will.
The five exchanged glances, and Mu Qingxuan shouted, "Attack!"
