Chapter 187: Chaos‑Suppressing Immortal King

In Li Hentian's eyes, frozen for ten thousand years, was reflected Gu Cangsheng's wrinkled face that betrayed madness.

He could not accept that an old thing, which just a moment ago needed to burn its origin for a sliver of life, had in the blink of an eye crossed the despairing chasm that had troubled countless geniuses.

"Chaos Spirit Stone…"

Li Hentian squeezed a low growl from his throat; he felt that this power did not belong to this era.

It is too ancient, too heavy.

Gu Cangsheng gave him no time to sigh.

His right fist, wrapped in gray mist, pushed forward in an extremely slow yet unavoidable posture that left Li Hentian no escape.

This punch made no sound of breaking air; the surrounding void along its path showed a strange liquefied state.

Li Hentian held his sword across his chest, pouring all of this clone's sword intent onto the three‑foot green blade.

The sword blade trembled slightly, emitting a mournful wail—a sign it could not bear the load.

"Hentian One Sword, sever karma!"

This is Li Hentian's signature secret art; it does not cut the flesh, but severs the lifelines.

As long as the opponent remains within the five elements and within reincarnation, this sword is unstoppable.

But when that pitch‑black sword light struck Gu Cangsheng's fist, the expected severing of karma did not occur.

The chaos intent contained in that punch directly crushed all karma lines, reducing them to primal nothingness.

"Crack."

The clear cracking sound echoed through the starfield.

The divine sword in Li Hentian's hand, condensed from origin sword dew, began to crumble from the tip the instant it touched Gu Cangsheng's fist.

Fine cracks spread rapidly along the blade, and under Li Hentian's astonished gaze the whole sword shattered into countless crystal fragments.

"Your sword is too fragile."

Gu Cangsheng's voice hoarse, his fist undiminished, he slammed heavily into Li Hentian's chest.

No flesh and blood flew; Li Hentian's immortal‑king clone, under this blow, resembled a ceramic statue struck by a heavy hammer, its torso collapsing instantly.

Immediately, countless gray chaos flames gushed from the collapse, frenziedly devouring the immortal‑king laws within him.

"Gu Cangsheng… you dare destroy my clone; the Sword Sect will have an endless feud with the Gu Family!"

Li Hentian's face twisted; he could feel the origin of this clone being forcibly erased by an incomprehensible power.

"Endless feud?"

Gu Cangsheng sneered, his five fingers clenching suddenly, seizing Li Hentian's skull,

"Li Hentian, you still haven't grasped the situation. Today, not only will this clone die, but your true self will also have to give this old man a layer of skin!"

The golden spine within Gu Cangsheng's body had now completely turned gray‑purple.

This is the ultimate form after the Primordial Immortal Scripture fused with the Chaos Spirit Stone.

He suddenly exerted force, and an overpowering suction burst from his palm.

He was stripping the Immortal King Dao Fruit from Li Hentian's clone!

"Ah!"

Li Hentian let out a mournful scream; he could feel his understanding of the sword Dao and his grasp of the laws being forcibly torn away.

The Faceless Immortal King in the distance had already been terrified out of his wits.

His dark‑vortex‑like face twitched wildly; the once‑unrivaled demon‑god phantom had shrunk to only a few zhang tall.

He saw that Gu Cangsheng's state was at least approaching that of a Giant Immortal King!

Immortal Kings are divided into four… Ordinary Immortal King, Jue Dian Immortal King, Giant Immortal King, Supreme Immortal King!

Supreme Immortal Kings are the strongest batch capable of directly resisting an Immortal Emperor!

Supreme Immortal Kings do not appear.

Giant Immortal Kings are the peak combat power of the Myriad Worlds!

That is a top‑tier Immortal King who has touched the peak combat power!

"We must flee back to report to our lord!"

The Faceless Immortal King hesitated not, directly offering the broken corpse‑bone river, intending to block Gu Cangsheng's perception by self‑detonating the river and thus flee into the depths of the void.

There is now an additional existence on the verge of becoming a Giant Immortal King.

This is extremely likely to affect the war situation of a world!

"You want to leave? Have I agreed?"

Gu Cangsheng did not look back; his left hand made a grasping motion behind him.

The starfield space, which had already begun to collapse, now seemed, under this grasp, as if an invisible hand had forcibly pressed the pause button.

Those dissipating black vapors, those fleeing souls, were all frozen in mid‑air.

"Yuan'er, look well—this is called the Chaos Prison!"

Gu Cangsheng, while suppressing Li Hentian, shouted to Gu Yuan.

Only to see the void within a radius of ten thousand li instantly covered by a gray membrane.

This membrane looks thin, yet it contains the most primal sealing laws; even an immortal‑king‑level cross‑world transmission cannot penetrate it.

The Faceless Immortal King's shattered body struck the membrane, emitting a dull thud, and then bounced back.

"Gu Cangsheng! Do you really intend to exterminate everyone?"

The Faceless Immortal King's voice was filled with despair.

"He who kills will be killed. When you came to seize my grandson's treasure, you never thought of showing mercy."

Gu Cangsheng's eyes turned cold; his right palm shook violently.

Li Hentian's clone, amid its wails, completely turned into a black energy ball—the purest sword‑Dao origin of this clone.

After dealing with Li Hentian's clone, Gu Cangsheng's gaze turned to the Faceless Immortal King.

"Next, it's your turn, you thing that's neither man nor ghost."

Gu Cangsheng took a step, and the star river beneath his feet rushed backward in an instant.

He appeared before the Faceless Immortal King, using no flashy divine techniques, merely raising his foot and stamping heavily onto the dark vortex.

"Chaos‑Shaking Heaven‑Step!"

That single kick bore the weight of an entire world.

The Faceless Immortal King let out an unwilling roar, gathering all the corpses' resentful spirits above his head, trying to block the blow.

But before Gu Cangsheng's pure chaotic power, those resentful spirits were like lingering snow under a scorching sun.

"Puff!"

The Faceless Immortal King's torso shattered completely under that stamp, turning into black mist that filled the sky.

Gu Cangsheng snorted coldly, his hands swiftly forming seals, and a massive gray grinding stone materialized in the void.

"You petty ordinary Immortal King... let me grind you to oblivion!"

The gray grinding stone turned slowly, its sound heavy and oppressive.

The black mist that tried to reconstitute was sucked into the stone, and amid the screeching friction, it was crushed completely into primal spirit particles.

"Gu Cangsheng... the master... will not let you go..."

The Faceless Immortal King's final wisp of soul dissolved within the grinding stone, leaving only a venomous curse.

With that, the two overbearing Immortal Kings and the clone were all vanquished.

Within the star region, the once‑raging flow of energy began to subside, and only the black fissure spanning the heavens still narrated the ferocity of the recent battle.

Gu Cangsheng stood in the void, his overwhelmingly domineering aura gradually receding.

He turned, looking at Gu Yuan and Gu Lin Tian; the coldness on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a smile as if a great burden had been lifted.

"Lin Tian, send people to sweep the battlefield. Do not let any fragment of the Law Fragment left by the Immortal King slip by, no matter how small."

"Yes, Father."

Gu Lin Tian only now dared to gasp heavily, his eyes full of reverence as he looked at his own father.

Gu Cangsheng walked up to Gu Yuan, examined him from head to toe, and finally patted his solid shoulders.

"You stinky brat, this time we owe it to that stone of yours. Otherwise, Grandfather would have truly met his end here today."

Gu Yuan chuckled, his expression relaxed:

"Grandpa, you're joking. Without that stone, you'd still be the Gu family's sea‑calming divine needle."

"Stop the cheap talk."

Gu Cangsheng was scolding, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

He looked up at the void fissure that was healing, a cold glint flashing deep in his gaze.

"But this isn't over yet; Li Hentian's true body has surely already sensed it, and I must, while this chaotic essence still lingers, give them a surprise."
