Chapter 111: True Immortal Envoy Appears!

On the other side.

Gu Family members, guided by Gu Yuan's map, arrived at the Twilight Forbidden Land at the center of the Twilight Divine Realm.

This is a barren land abandoned by the laws.

Here there is no sky, no earth, only endless gray mist roiling.

Gravity has lost its meaning here; huge rocks drift like duckweed in the air.

And at the center of this chaos stands a black divine mountain, majestic enough to make a dragon feel insignificant, silently towering.

At the summit of the divine mountain, a giant sword stained with rust is planted.

Beneath the giant sword floats a crystal the size of a fist.

The crystal is entirely an extreme dark red, as if forged from the blood of countless beings.

Merely floating there, the killing aura it emits slices the surrounding space into fragments.

Slaughter Supreme Divine Badge!

"Nice thing."

Gu Lin Tian stood at the foot of the divine mountain, gazing at that badge from a distant distance, his eyes involuntarily showing a hint of admiration.

"If I could use this thing, it would increase my chance of breaking through to Immortal King right here by ten percent."

"What was it before the increase?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.

"Zero."

Gu Yuan: "……"

He really wanted to say, "Old man, are you happy pulling this stunt?"

But after a moment's thought, perhaps this isn't necessarily a joke.

His father had only just broken through to True Immortal not long ago, his foundation insufficient, making it originally impossible for him to break through to Immortal King.

A single supreme divine badge could give someone like him, a total noob, the immediate possibility of breaking through to the Immortal King realm.

Even if it's only ten percent, that's incredibly heaven-defying!

"Alright, make your move—delay and life… looks like a variable is coming."

Though he said that, Gu Lin Tian's smile did not diminish at all.

He could sense that four more experts, each comparable to a Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivator, had arrived.

Their strength was the same as that of the three ancient gods slapped to death by a bronze immortal token.

Boom—

The previously calm gray mist all around suddenly began to churn violently.

Four terrifying auras erupted simultaneously from the four directions, instantly locking onto the Gu Family members.

"Outsiders, halt!"

A thunderous shout, like rolling heavenly thunder.

The Lava Ancient God stepped forth from the void, wielding a broken spear and clad in magma battle armor.

After receiving the empowerment of a half-immortal artifact, his stature became even larger than before.

Each step he took caused the unstable space to violently tremble.

Immediately after, the Plague Lord, the Dark Walker, and the Thousand-Eyed Divine Lord also appeared one after another.

The four ancient gods, each holding a half-immortal artifact, formed a surrounding formation, tightly trapping the Gu Family members in the middle.

"It's you guys again."

Gu Yuan looked at these four fierce ancient gods, sighed, and naturally reached into his bosom, "Why won't you behave? You're forcing me to use my ultimate move."

Seeing Gu Yuan's action, the four ancient gods visibly flinched.

Even though the black-robed emissary had assured them three times that it was a consumable usable only once, the previous shadow was still too great.

"Don't be fooled by him!"

The Lava Ancient God roared, and the broken spear in his hand burst forth with a piercing black light,

"The emissary said it's a fraud! He has no power left! Kill him and reclaim the glory of the Divine Realm!"

"Emissary?"

Gu Yuan exchanged a glance with his father, revealing delight.

Indeed, someone was behind him.

One who could make even a Heavenly Emperor‑level ancient god address him as emissary.

He is likely at least a Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivator.

He might even be a True Immortal!

"This time we've hooked a decent fish."

The remaining three ancient gods also realized this, shifting from embarrassment to anger.

They, esteemed divine lords, were actually frightened by a mortal's bluff?

Boom!

The four half-immortal artifacts simultaneously revived.

The lava spear pierced the void, the plague bone shield scattered a sky‑wide poison rain, the dark dagger merged into the shadows lying in wait, and the rotten heart in the Thousand‑Eyed Divine Lord's hand throbbed like thunder, each beat causing the Gu Family members' hearts to seize with sharp pain.

Faced with this heaven‑shattering, earth‑destroying encirclement, Gu Yuan's hand, which had just drawn out the token, was about to raise it.

But a warm, large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Yuan'er, put it away."

Gu Lin Tian spoke lightly, watching the divine abilities raining down from the sky, a hint of teasing flickering in his eyes,

"Such a fine whetstone would be wasted. Besides, the true master hasn't shown himself yet; if we play all our trump cards now, the mouse hiding in the gutter won't dare come out."

Fine, I'll listen to Dad.

Gu Yuan shrugged, pulled his hand back, took a step back, and even took out a handful of melon seeds from his storage ring.

Then I'll leave this to the elders; I'll cheer you on from the sidelines.

Hahaha, Yuan'er, I won't let you be disappointed.

Gu Lingjiang laughed loudly, his vital energy and blood surged like a dragon, and the pressure of a Nineteenth Realm Heavenly Emperor erupted without reserve.

He stepped forward and directly faced the most violent Lava Ancient God.

"A mere native dares to call himself a deity? Today I'll show you what a true body cultivator is!"

Boom!

Gu Lingjiang had no frills; a pair of fist gauntlets appeared on his hands.

Semi-Immortal Artifact!

"Who doesn't have one like this!"

Then he threw a punch directly.

This punch fused his insights from refining the remnant immortal origin; wherever the punch wind passed, space shattered like a mirror.

The Lava Ancient God swung its broken spear to block, but it felt like hitting a Primeval Divine Mountain.

The semi-immortal artifact spear from the Upper Realm buzzed from this punch, and his massive body was blown back thousands of li.

Elsewhere.

"Formation activate!"

Gu Xuan Ce formed seals with both hands; countless formation patterns spread from his feet, instantly forming a huge prison cage that enclosed the Plague Lord and the Thousand-Eyed Divine Lord.

"In my formation, playing with poison? You're still too tender."

Gu Xuan Ce smiled elegantly and flicked his finger.

The formation shifted, endless purifying light poured down from the heavens, sizzling the poison rain the Plague Lord had scattered.

Meanwhile, Jiang Rou faced the most bizarre Dark Walker.

She wore white that surpassed snow, like the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden descending to the mortal realm.

Facing the Dark Walker who tried to sneak attack by blending into shadows, she merely flicked her sleeve lightly.

"Flowers bloom in an instant."

Countless pure white petals blossomed in the void.

Each petal contained Heavenly Emperor-level Law Power.

Those shadows that were everywhere, under the petals' glow, had nowhere to hide and were forced out.

The three Heavenly Emperors of the Gu Family, aside from Gu Lingjiang using a semi-immortal artifact, the other two fought four ancient gods wielding semi-immortal artifacts using formations and innate combat power.

Not only did they not fall behind, they displayed an effortless suppressing stance!

……

On the battlefield, the clash of immortal power and Law Power made this Dusk Forbidden Land boil completely.

The four ancient gods grew more shocked and desperate the longer they fought.

They thought that with the semi-immortal artifacts granted by the envoy, plus the other side's token-holding brat not lifting a finger, this battle should be a one-sided rout.

But reality gave them a harsh slap.

These humans are ridiculously strong!

"Trash, these Lower Realm Heavenly Emperors are just a bunch of trash."

In the void interlayer, the black-robed envoy watched this scene, trembling with rage.

He gave them four semi-immortal artifacts!

That is a semi-immortal artifact!

Even if it were four pigs holding semi-immortal artifacts, they wouldn't be getting beaten down like this, would they?

"With such talent, if I had known back then I wouldn't have split the Mother Goddess's divinity and raised this bunch of idiots."

The three gods slain by the Gu Family and the current four gods were all handpicked by him.

Possessing the seven ugly aspects of humanity.

Greed, fear, gluttony...

Although relying on this shortcut to quickly rise and break out of encirclement, the price is facing opponents of the same realm.

Especially the kind that is painstakingly built step by step—it's really too weak.

But at this moment he forgot.

He himself originally chose these seven people because he valued their nature.

Even if they achieve the Heavenly Emperor realm, is there absolutely no hope of breaking through to the True Immortal realm?

As long as they don't reach the 20th-level True Immortal realm.

Then it is absolutely impossible to absorb and refine the Supreme God's divinity.

That way, when the world collapses and it is taken away, he will have completed his task.

Unfortunately, looking at it now, if he does not intervene.

He would likely have to abandon all his previous efforts.

"These outsiders' foundations are so deep; I fear I don't know which immortal domain's family they come from."

The black-robed envoy took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Gu Xuan Ce's formation disk and the seemingly ordinary jade hairpin in Jiang Rou's hair.

Although they haven't fully used them, he can tell that… they are true immortal artifacts!

"These people not only have formidable strength, they also hold complete immortal artifacts in their hands; if we could keep them all……"

Is that possible?

It is possible.

After all, there definitely aren't any true immortals among these people.

As long as there are no true immortals, he fears nobody.

Even if that kid holding the token can still use several full-power strikes at the peak of true immortality, what then?

After all, it's just rootless duckweed; I can still withstand it!

"Since you're looking for death, then don't blame me."

The black-robed envoy snorted coldly, finally no longer hiding.

Boom!

A terrifying aura surpassing the Heavenly Emperor, with a hint of true immortality, erupted explosively from the depths of the void.

"All of you, get lost!"

A fierce shout.

A pitch-black giant hand, like a cloud hanging from the heavens, directly tore apart Gu Xuan Ce's formation, swatting the four struggling ancient god statues away like flies.

"Envoy... Envoy sir?!"

The four ancient gods who had escaped death, gazing at the black-robed figure emerging from the void, were filled with awe and fear.

The black-robed envoy paid no heed to these trash.

He hovered in midair, looking down from above upon the Gu Family crowd, the eyes beneath his hood emitting a faint green light.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

He clapped his hands, his voice hoarse and teasing, "I didn't expect to see such a wonderful performance in this soon-to-be-destroyed ruined world. Friends from the immortal realm, you've given me a great surprise."

With his appearance, the surrounding space instantly solidified.

That is a true immortal-level domain suppression!
