Chapter 14

The space inside the carriage is extremely vast,

It is practically a moving palace.

A soft couch made of ten-thousand-year warm jade is placed in the center, and on the small table beside it,

The two lovely maidservants, Qing'er and Zhu'er, are carefully peeling spirit fruit for him and warming divine brew.

This spirit fruit is the vermilion fruit, a specialty of the Gu Family's Divine Island,

A single one can let a mortal undergo a metamorphosis and extend their lifespan by a hundred years.

This divine brew is distilled from over a hundred kinds of divine medicines; a single sip for an ordinary cultivator can save a hundred years of arduous cultivation.

But now, these things, in Gu Yuan's presence,

are no different from ordinary grapes and juice.

He reclines half-lying on the soft couch,

listening to the system's prompts beside his ear,

too lazy to even look,

his gaze passing through the lifted bead curtain,

looking down at the ancient city below that has already turned into ruins,

and outside the city, those like hungry wolves,

howling as they scatter, the soldiers of the Heavenly Halberd Army,

couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, Third Uncle and the others' vigor is truly abundant."

He knows this very clearly in his heart,

these so-called Dark Supremes,

in front of the Gu Family's this group of true Supremes,

not even worthy of being a side dish,

at most just some after-meal desserts.

At this moment,

As the soldiers of the Heavenly Halberd Army scatter,

the entire sky of the Xuan Tian Continent,

begins to burst forth with brilliant fireworks.

Each firework,

represents the fall of a dark source entity.

In the Eastern Wastes, a ten-thousand-foot demon ape formed from condensed resentment,

just awakened from slumber, roaring to the heavens,

had not yet had time to display its divine might,

when a commander of the Heavenly Halberd Army pierced its heavenly spirit cover with a single spear,

nailing it to the mountain range, its massive body exploded with a boom,

turning into pure primordial qi filling the sky.

In the Southern Sea, on an island formed from countless piled-up bones,

two terrifying Dark Supremes were dividing the life-force vitality of a continent,

suddenly, a sword light descended from the heavens, directly splitting the entire island and them in two,

the Law Power contained in the sword qi instantly obliterated everything of theirs.

In the Northern Plains,

beneath the ice-sealed snowlands, an ancient Supreme who thought he hid himself very well,

was forcibly dragged out from ten thousand feet underground by a Heavenly Halberd Army soldier,

held like a chick in hand, and in the face of his terrified pleas for mercy, slapped him into a mist of blood.

These, in the eyes of the Xuan Tian Continent's natives,

were like unstoppable overlords of forbidden zones akin to heavenly calamity apocalypse,

before the Gu Family's army, they were as fragile as paper.

This is fundamentally not a war, but a one-sided massacre.

"Truly... a pleasure to behold."

Gu Yuan leaned against the soft couch and sighed from the heart.

Just as he was admiring this grand fireworks display, his divine sense twitched,

suddenly noticing an interesting matter.

To the east of the ruins of Luoyang Ancient City,

in a valley roughly a thousand li away,

there were more than a dozen disheveled figures fleeing in panic.

Behind them,

several monsters that had escaped from the black mist of that Soul-Devouring Supreme just now,

were closely pursuing without letup.

These more than ten people all have low cultivation; the strongest among them is at most the Inquiry Dao Realm,

But they all carried an unyielding will.

Especially the leading boy, who was clearly already severely injured,

yet he still stubbornly shielded the others in front of him,

The blood flowing from his body was actually golden!

"Huh? Interesting, it's actually a Human Emperor Body!"

Gu Yuan took a bit of interest.

Human Emperor Body,

in the Immortal Realm it's considered a decent physique,

although it can't compare to his own Immortal Longevity Body,

but if it grows, becoming a Saint is not impossible.

I didn't expect to find one in such a backwater place.

"Well, meeting is fate; today this Young Master is in a good mood, so I'll casually form a good karmic bond."

Gu Yuan thought to himself,

He casually picked up an uneaten vermilion fruit from the nearby fruit tray and flicked it with his finger.

Whoosh!

That half of the vermilion fruit turned into a stream of light, instantly crossing a thousand li,

appearing precisely before the Human Emperor Body youth.

In the valley.

"Young Master, run! We'll hold the rear!"

A loyal guard stepped before the youth, roaring as he detonated his own soul,

turning into a sea of flames that temporarily blocked the demonic beasts' advance.

"Uncle Wang!"

The youth's eyes were about to burst, his eyes blood-red.

They are heirs of an ancient clan from Zhongzhou; when the dark turmoil erupted, their clan was annihilated,

they are the last sparks, having fled all the way from mountains of corpses and seas of blood to here,

but now it seems they may have reached their end.

"Young Master, we can't let Guard Wang die in vain! Let's go!"

The remaining people grabbed the youth, intending to keep fleeing.

But just then, a red light descended from the heavens, hovering before the youth.

That was a…… half-eaten fruit?

Everyone was stunned.

What's going on? Did a pie fall from the sky? No, a fruit?

The youth also looked bewildered,

but when he smelled the aura emanating from the fruit,

that tremendous life essence that made his very soul tremble,

he was completely dumbfounded.

He could feel that if he ate this half-fruit,

his wounds would not only heal instantly,

but his cultivation could even break through directly!

This is a Divine Fruit!

It is absolutely a Divine Fruit bestowed by a Divine Being!

He hesitated not at all,

he grabbed the fruit in one go, not bothering with anything else,

and shoved it straight into his mouth.

Boom!

A terrifying energy exploded within his body,

his originally severely injured, dying body instantly returned to pristine condition,

golden qi and blood surged skyward, his cultivation climbing steadily!

Mid-stage Inquiry Dao Realm!

Late-stage Inquiry Dao Realm!

Peak!

Seventh Realm,

Burning Heart Fire Lamp!

"A... a divine trace!"

"Which Divine Being acted to save us?"

They all turned toward the direction the fruit had flown from,

that is, the direction of Luoyang City,

they knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"Thank you, Divine Being, for saving our lives! I, the junior Li Cheng, if I can quell the turmoil in the future, will surely build a temple and statue for the Divine Being, offering worship day and night!"

Inside the Nine Dragon Agarwood Palanquin, Gu Yuan heard that hoarse gratitude and merely gave a faint smile.

Building a temple and shaping the body? Not needed, it's just a trivial effort.

For him,

This really is just a trivial effort.

Just like a billionaire,

Like casually throwing a coin to a roadside beggar,

Even too lazy to remember what the other person looks like.

However, the entire Profound Heaven Continent,

Suddenly, without any warning, it violently shook!

A breath that surpasses all previous Dark Supremes combined,

and is tens of millions of times more terrifying in aura,

From a life-forbidden zone deep within the Profound Heaven Continent—the Ancient Bury-Heaven Ground—it shot up into the sky!

That aura made the world's Great Dao wail in grief, and the laws retreat!

Even the soldiers of the Heaven Halberd Army, who were sweeping everywhere, all stopped their actions, solemnly looking toward the direction of the Ancient Bury-Heaven Ground.

Huh?

Outside the carriage, the Third Elder Gu Xue Dao, who had been keeping his eyes closed to nurture his spirit,

also suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of excited fighting spirit appearing in his gaze.

Oh? Finally someone decent has shown up.

A Dark Supreme of the 17th Saint Realm?

Interesting, now I can finally properly stretch my bones!
