Chapter 162: The True Path to Immortality!

A destructive torrent woven from more than ten Imperial Dao Principles, carrying the terrifying power capable of returning a star domain to chaos, instantly crossed the endless void and descended upon the end of the Path to Immortality.

That power was so violent and desperate, containing the ancient supremes' final madness for immortality.

Wherever it passed, even the special legal conduit of the Path to Immortality began to violently twist, as if it might collapse at any moment.

The leading Netherworld Immortal Corpse was ferocious beyond compare; its fleshly shell, contaminated by True Immortal power, erupted with might surpassing the Imperial Dao limit— a single flap of its six bone wings tore through spacetime, and one claw lunged at Gu Cangsheng's seemingly fragile heart.

This strike gathered the hopes of all remnants of the forbidden zone.

They seemed to have already seen that unparalleled old man torn to pieces, seen themselves stepping on his corpse, rushing into the end of the Path to Immortality, bathed in immortal light, and regaining new life.

However, just as that destructive attack was about to touch Gu Cangsheng,

The old man, who originally had a feeble breath, a pallid complexion, and was even coughing up blood, suddenly straightened his body.

He stretched, moved his bones a little, and emitted a series of crackling sounds.

The golden blood at the corner of his mouth disappeared.

His pallid complexion restored its healthy flush.

His feeble breath also vanished like an illusion.

In its place arose a terrifying aura that froze the entire universe, ineffable in words.

Gu Cangsheng leisurely turned around, even having the idle heart to pat nonexistent dust from his robes, then looked at the oncoming destructive torrent, which was already within arm's reach, with the gaze of one looking at a fool.

"Alas, acting too well is also a trouble."

He sighed, his tone carrying a hint of Versailles-like resignation,

"With such an obvious flaw, you actually believed it. It seems your brains have all been corroded over the long ages."

The moment his words fell, the Netherworld Immortal Corpse and those more than ten ancient supremes felt a buzz in their minds, going blank.

We've been tricked!

This thought exploded like billions of thunderclaps deep in their souls.

Fear, like a flood, submerged them.

They wanted to retreat, to flee, but it was already too late.

Gu Cangsheng merely lifted his right hand slightly, and with a grasp in the air seized the oncoming torrent.

There was no earth-shattering collision, no annihilation of laws.

The torrent capable of destroying a star domain, the moment it was grasped by that hand, vanished as if swallowed by an invisible black hole, leaving not even a ripple.

"This… this is impossible!" the Netherworld Immortal Corpse let out a sharp howl, unable to believe his own eyes.

"Nothing is impossible." Gu Cangsheng spoke lightly, and immediately his figure vanished from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared before the Netherworld Immortal Corpse, a palm lightly pressing upon its head.

"You…" the Netherworld Immortal Corpse stiffened all over; he wanted to resist, but discovered his flesh, comparable to a True Immortal's, could not move.

"You carry a familiar scent."

Gu Cangsheng's deep eyes, as if seeing through the ages, fixed upon the corpse's soul origin, "Let me think… oh, right, it's the scent of that black-furred rat from the Twilight God Realm."

He finally remembered.

Back in the Twilight God Realm.

The bronze token he gave Yuan'er had been used several times before, slaying a True Immortal existence.

These words caused two clusters of ghostly green flame to erupt suddenly in the corpse's hollow eye sockets.

"You… just who are you?!"

Boom——!!!

A pure True Immortal power, reeking of rich decay and death, burst forth explosively from within him!

This power had completely surpassed the legal limit of the Burial Emperor Star Domain, causing the entire universe to howl violently, space shattering inch by inch like glass.

Gu Cangsheng exerted slight force with his palm.

"Crack!"

The Netherworld Immortal Corpse's indestructible skull shattered in response.

However, just as he was about to crush the corpse's soul origin together, a sudden change occurred!

Rumble——!!!

The entire universe violently trembled without warning!

The Path to Immortality, which Gu Cangsheng regarded as a trap, and the gray barrier he saw as the final bulwark, were at this moment blasted open from within by a single punch!

A blinding light pillar, impossible to look directly at, shot up from behind the barrier, piercing through the entire Burial Emperor Star Domain!

Within that light pillar lay true immortal substance, flowing with complete Immortal Dao principles!

An ancient, vast immortal gate, emanating endless vitality, slowly emerged within the light pillar.

The true Path to Immortality, at this moment, was opened!

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

"Hahaha… Heaven does not doom me!"

Even with its skull crushed, the Netherworld Immortal Corpse's shattered body issued a mad laugh.

His soul origin, on the verge of scattering, was miraculously stabilized by the aura leaking from that immortal gate.

"Old thing! You can't kill me! The Lord is about to descend! You all will die!"

He howled, his ruined body self-detonating into a mass of black blood mist, which, at an inconceivable speed, surged toward that true immortal gate.

"Want to run?"

Gu Cangsheng frowned slightly, just about to act to intercept.

But see, the surviving ancient supremes also went mad at this moment, burning everything they had left, rushing toward the immortal gate, buying the Netherworld Immortal Corpse that instant's gap.

"A bunch of idiots."

Gu Cangsheng gave a cold snort and swept his wide sleeve.

In an instant, several dozen ancient supremes didn't even have time to utter a miserable cry before being ground into flying ash by an invisible force, transformed into the purest primordial essence, which he casually collected.

Meanwhile, the underworld immortal corpses and the surviving several dozen ancient supremes seized the opportunity, diving headfirst into the immortal gate emanating endless allure.
