Chapter 1154: The greatest mastermind in all ages, a rain of immortal light
Within the inner universe of Gu Changge, all the foundational characters went crazy, rushing toward him in excitement, appearing utterly insane. No one had antic.i.p.ated that all their dedicated efforts would be in vain.
Attaining immortality was fake; the immortal sects were deceptive, the immortal gate was fake and even the immortal aura of this universe was a mere illusion.
The path to immortality was a conspiracy, and the Epoch Tree served merely as bait, drawing them in.
The hatred towards Gu Changge was deep, with a fervent desire to cramp him limb from limb, smashing him to dust. Even causing his soul to disperse forever wouldn’t satisfy their hatred.
Many background figures, heedless of the consequences, ignited their true essence, wielded immortal artifacts, and launched attacks against Gu Changge, who was advancing with the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd.
However, with a mere sweep of the demonic halberd in their direction, all rules shattered, and even the fluctuations of immortal artifacts vanished into thin air, growing dim.
All attacks were futile, akin to mud cows disappearing into the sea; they wouldn’t even harm Gu Changge.
This sight plunged them into abject despair—no vitality could be sensed. The real world was within arm’s reach, yet they were trapped here, exploding one by one.
Who are you exactly?
A background figure resembling a golden giant roared as he charged at Gu Changge. His fist descended, radiating a surging golden brilliance, shattering the universe. However, it couldn’t even touch Gu Changge’s robe.
Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled as the icy glint of the halberd slashed down, splitting through the golden giant’s forehead, instantly tearing apart his soul.
Gu Changge remained impa.s.sive, devoid of any emotion. To him, these figures were already doomed, unable to escape the inner universe.
They were destined to be the stepping stones for his next step, a journey lacking mercy or emotional fluctuations.
After all, the die had been cast from the beginning; there could be no alteration.
How pitiable.
Someone attempted to break through this fake immortal domain, but endless thunderbolts struck down, each blow landing on their head, causing them to cough up blood and stagger, unable to endure for long.
In their previous efforts to reach this immortal domain, to breach the immortal sects, they had already expended much of their strength, no longer at their peak.
Now, under Gu Changge’s control, the inner universe could not be destroyed unless the immortal way experienced a revival.
Even if they wielded immortal artifacts, appealing them to unleash a peerless strike would mostly only shake this inner universe.
Boom!
An irregularity occurred in this inner universe, and a chaotic hole emerged, surrounded by a pervasive mist of blood, extending towards the fallen background figures.
Even in death, they couldn’t escape the fate of being consumed as nourishment, swallowed by the chaotic hole.
Actual flames ignited around, initiating a fire burn. Some weapons engulfed by the hole shattered, transforming into a myriad of powder.
Unable to endure the gruesome scene, one background figure roared and charged towards the chaotic hole. However, inevitably, in an instant, he was engulfed, silenced without a trace.
The next moment, a deafening sound erupted from the chaotic hole, blood splattered, vibrant and piercing, causing every nerve to tremble, pores standing on end.
Crimson blood, like red gems, sprayed out from the chaotic hole, shrouded in mist, and even gleaming white bone fragments fell, a shocking sight.
The speed of this background figure’s demise left the others in abject despair, realizing they had become sacrificial lambs. They, the once invincible figures from the upper realms throughout eternity, were now facing the slaughter.
“It’s your turn, the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist of Heavenly Emperor Mountain.”
Gu Changge’s gaze shifted towards a group of background figures, mainly focusing on the highly fearful “One-Eyed” Daoist. Gu Changge had been attentive to him for a while, especially since the day of his marriage to Yue MingKong.
Heavenly Emperor Mountain had sent cultivators to intercept them, attempting to cause trouble on such a joyous occasion.
Gu Changge had long considered Heavenly Emperor Mountain to be a dead ent.i.ty. After resolving matters here, he would surely crush Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
The ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist before him had repeatedly schemed in the shadows, attempting to eliminate Gu Changge. While Gu Changge had not paid direct attention due to his involvement in this grand scheme, it didn’t mean he was oblivious.
Do you recognize me? Who are you exactly?
The ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist, seemingly shrouded in chaotic mist, as if seated at the end of the river of time in a Divine Ruins, suddenly turned his gaze towards Gu Changge.
Chilled to the bone, the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist grew terrified. His soul trembled, feeling as though he had been laid bare, as if his essence had been uncovered. However, Gu Changge didn’t respond; a ma.s.sive hand reached out.
Chaos spread, directly striking the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist. He coughed up blood, sent flying, his body on the verge of shattering, unable to avoid the a.s.sault.
Spurt…
The ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist sprayed a mouthful of blood, horrified and terrified. The aura felt eerily familiar, something he had witnessed before.
Who could it be? He was correct. The current Lord of the Divine Ruins before him was undoubtedly someone he had encountered, not an insignificant figure.
“It’s you…”
“Gu Changge!!!”
Suddenly, a horrifying realization struck the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist, causing him to tremble in terror. His words were incomplete, drowned in an unprecedented sense of fear. His eyes widened in disbelief, an unimaginable and chilling thought taking root, sending shivers down his spine.
How could this be possible?
He had thoroughly investigated Gu Changge’s whereabouts before leaving the Upper Realm. He knew that after Gu Changge’s grand wedding, he had stayed with the Gu family, never leaving.
How did he end up in the Kunji Universe, transforming into the Lord of the Divine Ruins, orchestrating the slaughter and manipulation of all the Upper Realm’s Dao forces? It was horrifying and unbelievable; the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist couldn’t fathom the truth.
The other background figures were equally horrified at this unexpected revelation. They never expected that, at this critical moment, the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist would shout a name beyond their wildest imaginations.
The young heir who was supposed to be a bygone forbidden era and supreme existence? The mastermind behind all of this darkness and manipulation?
You… How did you achieve this?
The ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist’s voice trembled with fear.
He knew that Gu Changge wouldn’t spare him. He had plotted against Gu Changge multiple times, trying to eliminate him and bring him to ruin. With such deep-seated enmity, Gu Changge would undoubtedly seek his death.
Gu Changge, on the other hand, hadn’t expected the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist to recognize him. Yet, at this point, recognition or not was insignificant.
The divine mist on his face dissipated, revealing his true appearance. Seated like a G.o.d at the end of the universe, he gazed down upon them with indifference.
The terrifying, chaotic hole floated above his head, emanating an endless aura of blood. Soon, Dao runes descended, coalescing into a Dao treasure.
Speak. How do you want to die now?
He spoke coldly, looking at the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist. The Eight Desolation Demon Halberd hung in the air, releasing a breath that caused the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist’s body to rupture. Multicolored blood flowed, and half his life was instantly extinguished.
This is the weapon that appeared in the forbidden era, once mimicked by a demon lord who possessed the demonic heart… Its might is unparalleled, capable of slaying all.
You are the culprit of the forbidden era. You’ve reincarnated into the present!
At this moment, a background figure recognized the Eight Desolation Demon Halberd, pupils contracting into vertical lines, their voices trembling with shock and horror.
Discovering that Gu Changge was the mastermind behind everything was already chilling enough. However, no one had antic.i.p.ated that he was the culprit of the forbidden era in the Upper Realm before his reincarnation.
The upheaval, the shattered rules, the inability to attain immortality—all of it was caused by him.
This revelation had never shown signs before, and no one dared to speculate in this direction.
He is… the Lord of the Demons?
“No wonder… No wonder, everything that happened in the Upper Realm was arranged by you in the shadows. You hid it really well.”
Once again, the ‘One-Eyed’ Daoist was left speechless and despairing in the face of this revelation. This information was even more shocking than Gu Changge’s manipulation of the entire Upper Realm because it suggested the truth behind the separation of the Immortal Realm and the Upper Realm.
It might even draw attention from beings within the true Immortal Domain.
However, he also knew that, regardless of the impact this might have, they would never live to witness it. Everyone at this moment was horrified and hopeless, manipulated and plotted against by such a formidable figure, as if they had nothing to regret.
Gu Changge remained silent. There was indeed nothing more to say. These truths, even if understood, would be of no use, and they couldn’t possibly have any impact on him.
In the next moment, the chaotic hole radiated an endless light, resembling a heavenly ascension hole, completely shrouding this world. All the people within it crumbled, becoming radiant as if branded, then transformed into a dazzling light rain.
Finally, this place returned to true silence. Only some undefinable immortal artifacts were scattered everywhere. The deities within them were now in a deep slumber, not just empty sh.e.l.ls.
Of course, some G.o.d of certain immortal artifacts were sacrificed by background figures in a final attempt to threaten Gu Changge. However, it had no effect whatsoever.
This is the true light of immortality, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to appreciate it.
Gu Changge whispered, bathed in the rain of light. Seated in his soul palace, his primordial spirit emerged, beginning to condense the light of immortality.
Like an ocean, the vast energy surged within the inner universe, converging and pouring towards him as if blessing him and forging the foundation of his immortal path.
