Chapter 408: 408 The Truth of the Way of Heaven’s Collapse
This time, apart from these five openly hostile figures, there was another wicked plotter hiding behind the scenes — Lord Chi Ming.
In one of the simulations, Gu Yang was cunningly killed by Lord Chi Ming who was lurking in the shadows.
Therefore, as soon as he entered, he revealed the peach and found the position of the sneaky figure. Under the gaze of the Candle Dragon’s eye, the enemy’s movements were continuously tracked.
This adversary remained undisturbed, hidden within the void by some eerie method, effectively deceiving everyone present.
Had he not possessed the Candle Dragon’s eye, his traces would have been nearly impossible to discover.
Until now, that person had yet to depart, evidently still harboring intentions against him.
After being unmasked by Gu Yang, the person didn’t move an inch, seemingly under the misguided belief that he was bluffing.
He must be an old fox.
“It seems I’m overthinking…”
Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, he unsheathed his sword and sent out a sword intent.
This blow was unexpected.
The figure hiding in the void had just relaxed when the sword intent broke through the void and was at his face.
In his alarm, his figure wavered and he narrowly avoided the blow, although his clothing was torn in the process.
In reaction to the movement, a figure wrapped in a black cape was revealed.
Unlike the Witch King, who fled when things took a turn for the worse, this man was tall and from his aura, Gu Yang determined that he was a warrior.
The robed man’s shoulder had a cut; albeit a minor injury, it caused him to speak with a hoarse voice, “Candle Dragon’s Eye?”
“Gao Zekun?”
Gu Yang instantly figured out his identity.
It was indeed the Unleaking Realm cultivator of the Gao Family who had attempted to kill Gao Fan recently, but Gu Yang had saved him.
However, this man was clever, feigning self-destruction to escape.
There were many enemies who wished Gu Yang harm, but very few who survived against him, which showed that this Gao Zekun was no simple character.
Unexpectedly, this man, who was merely at the first level of the Unleaking Realm and severely injured, had drastically transformed, becoming a strong Celestial Being.
Gao Zekun, having his identity revealed, removed his mask and exposed his face.
His whole demeanor had changed since their last meeting. The greatest difference lay in his eyes which now bore an extremely detached look.
He coolly stated, “I forgot about the Candle Dragon’s Eye. The Divine Law of the Nine Heavens is indeed wondrous, but sadly…”
Pausing for a moment, he changed his tone, “Hmph, you’ve spoiled my plans again and again. Today, I will end your life.”
“Lord Chi Ming?”
Only then, Gu Yang realized that the person before him, Gao Zekun, had been possessed by Lord Chi Ming and turned into an incarnation of him. Surprisingly, he had managed to advance Gao Zekun’s cultivation level to the Celestial Being realm in such a short time.
This Lord Chi Ming’s methods were indeed extraordinary.
He laughed, “Never expected that you would personally come to kill me, such an honor indeed. However, killing me might be a bit challenging for you. Previously, you didn’t even stand a chance against the principal, and now you want to face two opponents. Do you have any method of winning?”
“I’ll make sure you understand how you will die.”
Gao Zekun didn’t rush to strike first. Instead, a strange smile formed on his face, “The moment you chose to advance in the Human Realm, the world will soon face destruction.”
“Everyone claimed that I am the demon who would bring about the world’s destruction, the root of all evil. However, compared to the aftermath of your actions, what I did really amounts to nothing.”
Gu Yang sneered, “World destruction? Just because I advance a level in the Human Realm, I can destroy the world? You’re giving me too much credit.”
“You’ve always wanted to know how the Way of Heaven was killed, right?”
Gao Zekun’s face showed an even stranger expression, “That was caused by a glance from beyond the Nine Heavens. One glance could cause Havens to collapse instantly. Several Da Luo perished instantly from just a glance, half of the Golden Immortals died, The thirty-three heavens met their downfall, with countless immortals falling. The Three Realms almost collapsed.”
“Among the cultivators of the Three Realms, some were lucky enough to survive. It was not until two thousand years later that an extraordinary genius appeared in the Human Realm. Just like you, he broke through to the realm of Human Immortal even when the Heavenly Dao was collapsing.”
