Chapter 409: The world is unpredictable

Gu Yang looked at Gao Zekun, whose strength had risen to the limit of the third stage of Celestial Being. He felt a huge doubt in his heart. How had the power projected onto the Human Realm by Lord Chi Ming become so strong?

If he could have created a clone of a third-stage Celestial Being in the Human Realm before, how could he have been killed by the dean?

Even though the dean was so powerfully against the heavens, he had been seriously injured afterwards. It wouldn’t have been difficult for Lord Chi Ming to kill him if he just created another clone of a third-stage Celestial Being.

If they talked about Lord Chi Ming being merciful and soft-hearted, Gu Yang would be the first one not to believe it.

Why couldn’t he do it before, but could now?

Was it because with the revival of the Way of Heaven, the maximum power Earth could accommodate had increased?

If that was the case, then it would spell trouble. As time went by, the power of those ancient beings who had survived to the present would continually recover.

Perhaps, existence at the level of the Hollow Void Realm would soon appear.

What would the Celestial Beings of the Great Zhou homeland fight against them with?

Just within the Immortal Palace of Yao Chi, how many Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, or even Celestial Immortals were there?

All of this had actually been caused by him.

He was indeed vexed. Who would have known that his blunder could actually revive the Way of Heaven? Who would believe that?

Gu Yang held the Human Emperor’s Sword, feeling the surging power within the sword, which was far stronger than before, and made up his mind.

After the revival of the Way of Heaven, the strength of those ancient powerhouses would continuously recover, but so too would the power that the Human Emperor’s Sword could harness. As long as his cultivation level could keep up, he would be able to cope with all enemies.

At this moment, Gao Zekun had begun to make his move. His entire being had turned into a plume of black mist, dispersing into the heavens and the earth, forming a vast black space that trapped Gu Yang inside and isolated him from outside observers.

Gu Yang felt the bizarre power all around him. This power was somewhat similar to the strange creatures in the Yellow Springs Hollowet, but not so extreme, and not so strong in terms of corruption.

He had encountered this power before. When he was still in the Mortal Realm, practicing the last style of the “God Destroyer Nine Styles,” he had almost been corrupted by this power.

At this moment, the power projected by Lord Chi Ming was countless times stronger than before. He was protected by the Immortal Element, and also had the body of a Human Immortal, yet he still felt wave after wave of cold, clearly indicating signs of erosion.

Buzz!

The Human Emperor’s Sword suddenly vibrated, a brilliant golden light burst forth, dispelling the surrounding endless darkness. The feeling of coldness immediately disappeared.

The first style of the God Destroyer Six Eradicator, Skyfire Annihilation!

In the sky outside the black curtain, a crack opened, a devastating aura burst out, and Skyfire fell down from within, instantly burning a hole through the black curtain.

Gu Yang used the sword to perform a Saber Technique without any sense of dissonance.

At his level, there was no difference whether he held a sword or a saber in his hand.

He hadn’t used the first style of the God Destroyer Six Eradicator for a long time. This time when he used it, its power was a thousand hundreds of times stronger than before.

It wasn’t merely because his strength had increased. When he performed this move, he felt a resonance with the sky, invoking the power between heaven and earth.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the Way of Heaven had indeed revived.

Everything was no longer the same as before.

The power of Lord Chi Ming could not withstand the burning of the Skyfire. This destructive power was enough to annihilate all foreign energy.

However, Gu Yang’s realm was ultimately a notch lower than Lord Chi Ming’s, and the range of the Skyfire could not clear away all the black curtains.

He raised his sword again, the second style of the God Destroyer Six Eradicator, Thunderbolt Punishment.

Boom!

In the sky, streaks of purple lightning fell down. The supremely bright and stalwart power swept away all the strange black mist wherever it went.

Gu Yang brandished his sword a third time.

The fourth style of the God Destroyer Six Eradicator, Celestial Being Decay!

This sword was directed at the last bit of black mist remaining. The black mist rapidly became bleak, as though it had lost its life force.

And in a blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

[Obtained five shards, current shard count: nine.]

He’s finally dead!

Seeing the system’s prompt, Gu Yang was elated.

This journey had not been in vain.

This time he had encountered five Celestial Beings. As a result, he had only slain one Barbarian Celestial Being, and the Great Shaman had died of backlash. The other three all escaped.

Which is to say, he only gained one shard, plus one spiritual treasure.

By slaying one incarnation of Lord Chi Ming, he received five shards.

Not bad.

“However, it seems a little too smooth…”
