The Ancestral Hall Appears
Chapter 885 The Ancestral Hall Appears
The five of them acted almost simultaneously!
Although still wary of divine punishment and dare not unleash its full power, the power it is displaying at this moment has reached the level of a true god!
Li Huang was the first to strike!
He let out a long roar to the sky, his body roaring like thunder, and countless ancient thunder patterns lit up on the surface of the illusory image of the Heavenly Thunder Mirror behind him.
He clasped his hands together, and the thunderous laws within a radius of ten thousand miles responded with a roar, once again condensing into nine ferocious thunder dragons.
These thunder dragons appear very similar in form to the previous ones, but due to their different levels of power, the true meaning contained within each one is completely different.
Within the thunder dragons lies a profound sense of destruction, faintly containing a hint of enforcing the law on behalf of Heaven. It is as if these nine divine dragons are not merely a convergence of thunderous power, but rather the power of Heaven itself to judge Gu Yuanqing.
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and space itself began to collapse due to its power.
With a wave of his hands, Li Huang unleashed eight intertwined lightning dragons, roaring as they slashed towards Gu Yuanqing.
Mu Qingxuan formed a hand seal, and the Nirvana Purification Cauldron above his head spun rapidly, pouring out a viscous, pure white purifying divine light from its mouth!
Wherever the divine light reached, it seemed that everything was being purified and returned to its most primitive state. Even spiritual energy was being decomposed, and it carried a power that suppressed the soul, intending to completely submerge and seal Gu Yuanqing.
Feng Wuhen's figure vanished into the void, and he pushed the power of the Qiongtian Wanhua Difeng Seal to its limit.
The breeze was delicate and silent, yet it seemed to instantly permeate the entire space. At that moment, it was as if the very nature of the space had changed under the influence of this breeze.
Gu Yuanqing understood perfectly well that this was the control and influence of a region by a power at the level of a true god!
At the True God level, the power of the Rule Artifacts also underwent a qualitative change, and it seemed that a piece of time could be redefined by using its power!
For Gu Yuanqing, this confrontation truly felt like his battle against Zhuo Ming during the Ling Mountain Trial!
Zhou Tianyan and Yan Guichi did not directly participate in the attack.
The two were positioned one on the left and one on the right, one above and one below.
A lone figure hangs high in the sky, its vast starlight turning into mist, obscuring the secrets of heaven.
One dwells below, using the weight of heaven and earth to suppress the space.
The two intertwine, transforming into the complete Boundless Heavenly Secrets Array.
This disrupts the natural order of this place, confuses Gu Yuanqing's senses, amplifies the power of Mu Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, and others, and weakens Gu Yuanqing's supernatural abilities.
Gu Yuanqing felt as if his spiritual senses were being suppressed, his premonition of danger became blurred, and he could no longer draw upon any of the spiritual energy of this world; all his power could only come from himself.
It was as if the world itself was rejecting and suppressing him, and the whole world was full of hostility towards him.
It seems even my luck has turned a bit worse.
In the midst of swordplay, even a slight lapse in concentration can cause flaws in the sword formation.
The clash with Li Huang was evenly matched, but for some reason, he felt a slight stagnation in the flow of his true energy.
These mistakes shouldn't have happened to Gu Yuanqing, who was at the level of a Void Immortal, but they did.
Although each strike was not fatal, the cumulative effect gradually put Gu Yuanqing at a disadvantage.
These five people know each other too well.
By joining forces, the rules complement each other, and the power is amplified.
One wrong step leads to a series of wrong steps!
As Li Huang attacked, he laughed and mocked, "Gu Yuanqing, why aren't you so arrogant now? A mere demigod dares to shout at us. I thought you had extraordinary abilities, but it turns out you're nothing special! If we weren't inconvenient to use our full strength, we could kill someone like you in one move!"
Gu Yuanqing had the Northern Spring Town Seal hanging above his head. The large seal emitted a dark yellow light, resisting the power of the Cleansing World Divine Light.
The Azure Sword clashed with Li Huang using the Sword Dao of Controlling Calamity and Myriad Manifestations.
The Celestial Realm opened, and every now and then, the Myriad Paths Return to Nothingness Palm descended, forcing Feng Wuhen to reveal his figure from the void.
He occasionally used spatial manipulation techniques to teleport, but due to interference from Zhou Tianyan and Yan Guichi, ordinary spatial teleportation was of little use.
As time goes by, the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram seems to conceal the secrets of heaven more and more deeply.
Seeing that they could not subdue Gu Yuanqing, the three True Gods increased their power slightly again.
……
Within the North Spring Cave.
Gu Yuanqing used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to infuse his power into his clone.
Seeing that his clone was gradually losing ground, he shook his head slightly: "The clone is still struggling to cope. Although these old guys have not yet shown their true strength, they have reached the level of true gods after all."
However, the power that a clone can bear is ultimately limited!
He looked up at Li Miaoxuan, who was already undergoing the ninth heavenly tribulation.
Since his clone appeared before the Ancient Divine Sect, the vague sense of crisis in his heart seemed to have dissipated somewhat.
At that moment, he knew he had made the right move!
With his level of cultivation, he had considerable trust in his own intuition.
Although Gu Yuanqing takes the current five-person encirclement seriously, it is still not enough to threaten him.
The true god is naturally more powerful than this, but these guys still don't dare to use their true abilities.
Even the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram has its limits in what it conceals!
Moreover, this sixth true god has never shown himself, and according to what Zhuo Ming said, this last one is the strongest of the Ancient God Sect!
Gu Yuanqing glanced at the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Array Diagram in the sky through his connection with his clone.
With his hands behind his back, he murmured, "Wait a little longer, until Miaoxuan completes her tribulation!"
……
The Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram.
Li Huang didn't say anything more. Although Gu Yuanqing was at a disadvantage, his strength was simply beyond his comprehension!
If Gu Yuanqing had been able to take on three opponents at once before, it would have been understandable.
After all, it has a physical body, while we are just souls, possessing power but daring not to use it.
Now, even with five people joining forces and using the power of a true god, they still couldn't suppress Gu Yuanqing.
The power of the true god seemed unable to fundamentally suppress Gu Yuanqing!
The group exchanged glances, becoming even more certain that Gu Yuanqing came from the Dharma Source Realm, and that he most likely possessed a divine spark!
Only by relying on the power of divinity for protection can we resist their combined suppression.
It's even possible that Gu Yuanqing's divine status surpasses that of an ordinary true god, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to explain everything that happened.
Upon realizing this possibility, a light seemed to shine in their eyes.
A divine spark is the condensation of a powerful being's understanding of the power of divine artifacts and rules; it is also the foundation of one's path. If one seizes and refines it, one can directly possess the corresponding power of rules.
As their strength continued to increase, it became increasingly difficult for Gu Yuanqing to cope.
Time passed slowly, and just as Li Miaoxuan's ninth level of the eighth heavenly tribulation was about to descend.
In the Primordial Realm, the clone finally fell into real danger.
Gu Yuanqing naturally wouldn't let his clone get hurt, so he took decisive action with his main body.
The cave trembled and resonated, completely merging with Gu Yuanqing.
The Heavenly Fishing Technique was used immediately!
First, a single palm strike, and all paths vanish into nothingness; the palm encompasses the universe!
The barrier of the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram against the clone was broken, and the attacking divine wind dissipated without a trace.
The clone vanished into the void, and the surrounding space became as small as a stone's throw away yet as far as the horizon.
The approaching thunder dragon seemed to suddenly slow down, and no matter what it did, it could not get close to Gu Yuanqing even a fraction of an inch.
In the next instant, all paths collapsed, and all the forces that had entered were reduced to nothingness.
Everything around it has fallen into a state of utter desolation!
The divine light that could purify everything also lost its effect.
The thunder dragon howled in despair and was instantly annihilated!
Li Huang, Mu Qingxuan, and Feng Wuhen were all shocked.
This sudden surge of power far exceeded Gu Yuanqing's original level.
This palm strike was comparable to the peak of their physical strength before their bodies collapsed!
A strange sense of crisis suddenly arose in my heart.
The next second, a sword aura shot into the sky.
Mu Qingxuan's pupils constricted, and he shouted urgently, "Stop it!"
He formed a hand seal, and the Nirvana Purification Cauldron blocked the sword energy. The cauldron shattered, turning into a phantom and dissipating!
The sword energy continued upwards.
Li Huang transformed into the Dharma form of the Thunder God, a thousand feet tall. He raised his hand and grasped a thunder blade, which appeared as he slashed angrily.
A storm of lightning converged into this single strike.
Boom!
The thunder blade broke, but the sword energy still surged upwards.
Feng Wuhen's expression changed slightly. The phantom of the Qiongtian Wanhua Difeng Seal appeared in the air, and the divine wind transformed into dragons and snakes, intending to use continuous power to disintegrate the sword energy.
But it still didn't work.
The sword energy shattered all the restraints.
"How is this possible?!"
Everyone who came into contact with this sword energy was in disbelief.
They all felt their own power being restrained when it touched the sword energy.
It's understandable to say that it's about suppressing the power of one person, but it's exaggerated to say that it's the same for several people in a row.
This sword energy seemed to encompass everything, and its variations were unpredictable.
The power within the sword energy can be completely opposite one second to the next, with the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements seemingly evolving to their extreme.
This is the method of controlling objects. After Gu Yuanqing became a Void Immortal, even outside the Cave Heaven, he could achieve similar effects of controlling objects and the Dao through the Celestial Realm.
Another illusory mountain appeared, attempting to suppress the sword energy.
This time, it was Yan Chigui who made the move!
But the sword energy suddenly disappeared, traversing space, and reappeared, having already fallen into the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram.
The Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram underwent drastic changes, its starlight flashing, attempting to dissolve the power of the sword energy.
However, Zhou Tianyan felt that the power within this sword was immense, comparable to the full unleashing of his own power.
It's not that it can't be resolved, but to resolve it, one must unseal all one's power. As a result, even the Boundless Heavenly Mystery Diagram cannot conceal its own power, completely exposing its aura to the rules of heaven and earth.
Zhou Tianyan would never do such a thing!
then……
Sizzle—!
With a sound like cloth being torn apart, the all-encompassing net was ripped open by the sword energy, creating a huge gap!
Zhou Tianyan and Yan Guichi both groaned at the same time, their souls shaking violently.
The power of the Heavenly Secret Diagram was forcibly torn apart, and the backlash affected their souls.
Even more terrifying is that, with the veil of heavenly secrets broken, the power of the true god was exposed to the world.
The aura of divine punishment rapidly condensed, intertwined with calamity energy, quickly locking onto the target and condensing and strengthening at an astonishing speed!
Above the sky, a deep, inky vortex of calamity clouds rapidly took shape, seemingly capable of devouring everything.
This condensation of a deeper level of rule power, transcending the Linglong Realm, is the punishment and cleansing of those who transgress the rules of this great world!
This fear, originating from the very core of the soul, caused the five True God cultivators to change their expressions drastically.
"not good!"
"Quickly reseal the heavenly secrets!"
Zhou Tianyan and Yan Guichi frantically channeled their power to mend the Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram, attempting to conceal their aura once more.
Li Huang, Feng Wuhen, and Mu Qingxuan also withdrew their power and used secret techniques to conceal their auras.
But would Gu Yuanqing do as they wish?
The Azure Sword and the Seal of Beiquan Town were both summoned!
The sword light split into countless forms, attacking Zhou Tianyan and Yan Guichi, forcing them to constantly mobilize their forces for defense, making it difficult for them to fully repair the Heavenly Secret Diagram.
The World-Suppressing Seal struck Li Huang, Mu Qingxuan, and Feng Wuhen repeatedly, making it difficult for them to control its power.
Gu Yuanqing continued to take action, forcing them to use power beyond their limits, while simultaneously preventing them from mending the wounds.
The heavenly tribulation clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the aura of destruction made all living beings in the ancient world feel suffocated.
Li Huang and his four companions were both shocked and furious, caught in a dilemma.
Without unleashing the power of a true god, one cannot withstand Gu Yuanqing's attack;
However, if the true god is not restrained, the power of heavenly punishment will become stronger!
Gu Yuanqing's clone attacked while laughing loudly.
"Gentlemen, was this battle enjoyable?"
"Li Huang, is your name Li Huang? You were shouting earlier, why are you silent now?"
"I know you are a true god, but so what? Do you dare use this power?"
"In the end, you are nothing but a bunch of old codgers who are barely clinging to life and can't stand the light of day."
……
Every word was like a sword piercing the hearts of Li Huang and the others.
They had roamed this world for countless years, and had never heard of such words.
Li Huang, who cultivates the path of thunder, is already short-tempered. After being provoked by Gu Yuanqing several times, he is now enraged once again.
"I can't take this anymore! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me. At worst, I'll just find a random place to escape this calamity!"
As he spoke, he was about to fully reveal his magnificent divine form.
The aura belonging to a true god erupted completely.
Boom!
The tribulation lightning in mid-air suddenly intensified, rotating in the center and faintly transforming into the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
Mu Qingxuan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? Do you want to drag us all down with you?"
Li Huang's display of power affected not only him, but everyone present who had displayed the power of a true god.
Moreover, due to the outburst of his power, the original Boundless Heavenly Secrets Diagram could no longer be concealed!
Zhou Tianyan, Yan Chigui, Feng Wuhen and the others couldn't help but curse inwardly, and then they scattered and fled. If they stayed here, they would surely be killed by this man surnamed Li!
But how could Gu Yuanqing let them leave? He opened his sword domain, and countless sword energies appeared out of thin air, intending to drag all these people here.
Just now.
"Ugh……"
A long sigh echoed from the depths of the Ancient Divine Mountain Range.
The next moment, the ancient, dark ancestral hall rose from the ground, transformed into a stream of light, and instantly crossed space, appearing directly above the battlefield!
Above the palace, the Dao patterns of life and death cycle shone brightly, and a vast and mighty power descended!
In that instant, the light from that pattern seemed to suppress even the aura of divine punishment.
Mu Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, Zhou Tianyan, and Yan Guichi were overjoyed and quickly transformed into streaks of light, rushing into the main hall.
Li Huang also jolted awake, as if realizing he had caused trouble, and his expression changed slightly.
"Come in!" a detached voice called out.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Li Huang felt relieved and immediately joined in.
Gu Yuanqing tried to stop him, but the power of the hall was immense. When the sword energy fell, it only caused ripples, but it was difficult to harm him.
Moreover, after the five people entered the main hall, the hall continued to pour down with immense power upon Gu Yuanqing below!
They actually intended to bring him into the palace to suppress him as well!
Gu Yuanqing's pupils contracted slightly.
The moment this grand hall appeared, he felt an unprecedented pressure.
This hall is extraordinary; its power feels to him even more than Zhuoming at his peak!
At this moment, Gu Yuanqing fully understood that the real crisis that came to him within the Ancient Divine Sect was not those five people, but the Great Venerable who had not yet shown his face!
"However, to suppress me as well? That's wishful thinking!"
Gu Yuanqing remained calm. As long as the connection between his clone and his main body was not severed, it was not a big deal!
Of all the people he has met over the years, only Hades has been able to do this, while this one from the Primordial God Sect is clearly not at that level yet.
This person reminded him of the Boundless Ghost Mother, with whom he had only had a brief encounter. Judging from the feeling in his mind, the two should be at roughly the same level of power!
"If that's the case, then let's give it a try and see just how much I, along with those from Beiquan Cave Heaven, am compared to the level of a True Immortal!"
Gu Yuanqing's eyes blazed with fighting spirit!
