Chapter 255: Command of the Giant: Annihilate Li Hentian!

At the same time, the void battlefield beyond the Boundary Wall.

Li Hentian was using intangible Sword Intent together with the Wind Empress and the Martial Sovereign to tightly restrain Gu Cangsheng.

But suddenly, his sword heart, as solid as a rock, shivered sharply.

An extremely strange, chilling, and supremely vengeful karmic wave crossed the endless void and locked onto his soul!

That feeling was all too familiar… it was the aura of the Zhenyuan Immortal King!

Moreover, it was the boundless hatred that erupted when the Zhenyuan Immortal King, on the brink of death, had his life force severed by a sword!

How could that be?!

The Zhenyuan Immortal King had clearly been annihilated in body and spirit, even his karmic ties cut by Sword Intent—so where did this lingering resentment arise?

Li Hentian's eyelids twitched wildly, and an intensely ominous feeling instantly enveloped his mind.

At the very instant his mind slipped away.

"How dare you lose focus while fighting an old man?!"

Gu Cangsheng's muddled yet brutal voice thundered beside his ear.

The old man keenly seized Li Hentian's flaw.

It turned out he hadn't even glanced at the Wind Empress or the Martial Sovereign nearby, and the intensely compressed chaotic domain around him erupted with a roar!

Gu Cangsheng transformed into a raging gray‑purple flash, and upon catching Li Hentian unleashed a merciless, frenzied onslaught!

"Old man lets you put on a show! Hide behind and scheme!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chaotic thunderous steps pounded in succession, and gray‑purple fist imprints poured down like a raging storm.

Gu Cangsheng completely abandoned defense, bearing the Wind Empress's wind blades and the Martial Sovereign's fist force, smashing all attacks onto Li Hentian alone!

Li Hentian was caught off guard, and his destiny divine sword, already riddled with cracks, emitted a mournful wail.

His cyan Dao robe was instantly torn by chaotic energy; he was forced to hold his ground, relentlessly beaten by Gu Cangsheng, with no time to consider what upheaval was occurring in Zhongzhou.

Meanwhile, atop the ancient altar in Zhongzhou.

"Thunder Emperor, hold your breath," Gu Yuan said slowly, "The good show has only just begun."

He raised his hand.

The phantom of the Myriad Path Time Lamp flickered in his palm.

At the lamp's core, among the original rainbow flames, a strange hue of deep blue interwoven with ash‑gray appeared.

Gu Yuan's eyes glowed with intensified rainbow light; his divine consciousness followed the broken karmic thread, fully igniting the borrowed Zhenyuan Immortal King's ultimate resentment and unwillingness from before his death!

"Borrowing false cultivation…"

Gu Yuan's voice echoed through heaven and earth, bearing a judgmental coldness.

"Zhenyuan Immortal King, your enemy is out there, and now… I give you a chance to settle the debt yourself!"

Buzz!

The Myriad Path Time Lamp blazed, and countless karmic threads wildly intertwined on its light wall.

In the next instant, a massive, twisted, terrifying phantom radiating deep‑blue Immortal King law and endless vengeful poison began to slowly take shape above Gu Yuan's head!

It was… the projection of the Zhenyuan Immortal King!

At this moment, Gu Yuan used the world will of forty‑three great states as a carrier, with the World Tree's innate spiritual root as a conduit, turning this sealed truth into a colossal light screen spanning the heavens, appearing above every being in Sanqian Zhou!

It appeared… in the Immortal Realm!

……

Immortal Realm, Supreme Immortal Hall.

More than a dozen Immortal Kings had not yet dispersed.

They were discussing the specific details of the expedition to foreign lands—who would lead the assault, who would provide support, and how the spoils would be divided.

At that moment, all Immortal Kings simultaneously looked up.

Above the hall, without warning, a massive light screen materialized.

Within the light screen, a huge figure encased in deep‑blue law light chains was scrambling helplessly through the void.

"Zhenyuan?!"

An Immortal King let out a startled cry.

The Zhenyuan Immortal King in the image had a shattered Dao fruit, a waning aura, only half a body remaining—exactly the final state they had deduced before his death.

"What is this? Who is casting the spell?"

"It's that Gu Family's method! They're using world will projection!"

The Immortal Kings murmured among themselves.

The Supreme Immortal King's molten‑gold face narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not intervene.

He wanted to see what exactly the Gu Family intended.

Within the light screen, behind the Zhenyuan Immortal King, a cyan figure emerged.

Li Hentian!

The Li Hentian in the image bore an ancient sword, his expression stern.

Then came the Zhenyuan Immortal King's ecstatic plea for aid.

"Hentian! Your timing is perfect! In Sanqian Zhou a half‑step giant named Gu Cangsheng has appeared! He possesses a fragment of a chaotic spirit stone! If you and I join forces, we can take him down and split the credit evenly!"

The Zhenyuan Immortal King's voice resonated clearly in every corner of the Supreme Immortal Hall.

Inside the hall, everyone's gaze instinctively fell upon a projection of Li Hentian standing within.

Almost every Immortal King in the Immortal Realm possessed their own projection, used to summon and convey information when needed.

This moment.

Li Hentian's clone's expression turned exceedingly ugly.

He tried to strike to shatter the light veil, but the aura of the Supreme Immortal King locked him tightly, rendering him immobile.

The "story" within the light veil continued.

In the scene, Li Hentian nodded and said, "Understood."

Then, he walked side by side with Zhenyuan Immortal King.

And then…

He halted his steps.

An invisible Sword Intent seeped from the scabbard behind him.

Zhenyuan Immortal King's body silently split in two.

The scene ends here.

The Supreme Immortal Hall fell into a dead silence.

A silence that could be heard when a needle falls.

All Immortal Kings' gazes scraped Li Hentian like knives.

Shock, confusion, contempt, and… sudden enlightenment.

They finally understood why Li Hentian's injuries healed so quickly.

What does a Jue Dian Immortal King whose Dao fruit is shattered, leaving only half a body, mean to another Immortal King?

It means a… grand restorative feast!

Li Hentian devoured the other half of Zhenyuan Immortal King's primal source!

"Li Hentian."

The Supreme Immortal King's voice rang out, still devoid of emotional fluctuation.

But this time, everyone heard a trace of icy chill in that flat, straightforward tone.

Boom!

The entire Supreme Immortal Hall, reengineered from a star's core, emitted a terrifying, overloaded roar.

The Colossal Immortal King's ultimate fury transformed into a tangible law storm, instantly crushing the hall's interior space to powder.

Bang!

The Sword Intent clone Li Hentian left in the hall had no room for resistance; on the spot it was suppressed by the Colossal King's might, its form and spirit annihilated, turning to dust.

"Guarding and stealing, subordinates rebelling against superiors, slaughtering comrades, devouring their source to heal wounds!"

The Supreme Immortal King's voice, like nine‑abyssal ice, bore a chilling murderous intent, "This is a earth‑shaking scandal that shakes the foundation of my Immortal Realm's rule! An unforgivable crime!"

His pupil‑less eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, his gaze seeming to pierce endless chaos, locking onto the battlefield beyond the Boundary Wall of Sanqian Zhou.

"Transmit my decree!"

The Supreme Immortal King's voice reverberated through the core of the Immortal Realm, shaking the heavens.

"Immediately, at any cost, activate the Supreme Cross‑Realm Great Array!"

"Heavenly Spear, Heavy Abyss, Nine Abyss, Flaming Heaven, Rift Sky!"

As the Supreme Immortal King named these five.

That was five full Jue Dian Immortal Kings!

Among them, astonishingly, were supreme taboo beings ranked within the top twenty, even top ten, on the Immortal Realm's Immortal King list!

"You five, immediately march with the Supreme Great Array!"

The Supreme Immortal King swept his hand, pouring the vast Colossal primal source wildly into the void conduit, forcibly driving the cross‑realm speed to its limit.

"Descend upon Sanqian Zhou! Kill Li Hentian on the spot, annihilating body and spirit! Extract his Sword Dao primal source and ignite a lantern!"

"That Gu Family, along with the half‑step Colossal Gu Cangsheng, shall be exterminated! Reclaim the Chaos Spirit Stone fragments!"

The Supreme Immortal King's fury burned to the extreme, issuing a blood‑soaked death order.

A conduit opened with the Colossal Immortal King's great magical power.

Traveling to Sanqian Zhou requires only… a quarter of an hour!
