Chapter 303: Slaying Three Immortals

As his words fell, Gu Yuan stepped forward.

He used no array patterns, nor did he create any disturbance from tearing space.

He simply took a step, and his form instantly crossed tens of thousands of zhang, appearing directly before the chestplate of Vajra Ancestor's metallic god.

Shrinking ground to an inch, the basic application of the Spatial Great Dao.

Vajra Ancestor reacted instantly; the chained saw-blades on the metallic god's arms crossed and slashed down, blades sharp enough to cleave continental plates bearing down on Gu Yuan's head.

Gu Yuan did not retreat, nor did he activate any protective mana.

He simply raised his right hand, lightly meeting the two high-speed rotating swords.

Immortal Celestial Body, indestructible through myriad tribulations.

Metal and flesh collided, without the expected flesh flying everywhere.

The piercing sound of metal breaking spread eerily through the vacuum; the two chained saw-swords forged from the highest-grade immortal metal of the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm shattered into a shower of iron filings the instant they touched Gu Yuan's fair palm.

Before Vajra Ancestor's core processor could sound an alarm, Gu Yuan's right hand pressed against the metallic god's chestplate.

"Mechanical ascension? It's just a fine coffin you built for yourself."

Gu Yuan expelled power from his palm.

Carrying the inner world's domineering Creation Law, it poured unimpeded into the metallic god's interior.

This power did not clash head-on with the god's armor; instead it followed its internal energy conduits, destroying all array nodes with ease.

The massive metallic god began to disintegrate inch by inch from its chest.

Its armor plates peeled away like papier-mâché, and its internal precision drive shafts twisted and snapped.

Vajra Ancestor's prized Mechanical Star Core was ripped out from deep within his frame by Gu Yuan.

It was a metal sphere pulsing with blue electric light.

"Let me go! If you kill me, the Stellar River Grand Array will lose control, and all living beings on this planet will be buried with me!"

Vajra Ancestor's true spirit hid within the star core, emitting a desperate howl.

Gu Yuan curled the corner of his mouth, closing his fingers.

The metal star core was crushed into a lump of scrap iron.

Gu Yuan snatched out the true spirit within, rolled it with a thread of Time Law into a blue orb the size of a longan, and casually tossed it into his sleeve's universe.

From Gu Yuan's step to Vajra Ancestor's scrapping, the process took less than a breath.

Stellar Radiance Ancestor and Return to the Abyss Ancestor witnessed the whole process, and their cognition suffered a severe rupture.

Vajra's defense was the strongest among the three, yet a carbon-based lifeform tore it apart barehanded?

"Spiritual Piercing! Strangle his sea of consciousness!"

Stellar Radiance Ancestor's massive brainstem, soaked in nutrient fluid, contracted violently, and the outer wall of its transparent container lit up with intricate azure runes.

The immense spiritual power accumulated over three thousand years turned into a tangible spiritual storm, then into billions of invisible spikes that stabbed straight at Gu Yuan's brow.

This was Stellar Radiance Ancestor's ultimate trump card.

He had abandoned his flesh, pouring all resources into brain development, believing himself unrivaled in the path of soul within the Heavenly Pivot Source Realm.

The spiritual storm struck Gu Yuan precisely.

Before Stellar Radiance Ancestor could rejoice, a tremor from the depths of his soul overwhelmed him completely.

His mental tendrils probed Gu Yuan's sea of consciousness, finding not a fragile soul crystal but a perfect world in the process of evolution!

The World Tree towered aloft, the three thousand Dao turning into orbiting stars, chaotic currents flowing endlessly between heaven and earth.

Stellar Radiance Ancestor's prideful mental power dropped into this great world, causing not even a ripple, instead provoking the World Tree's instinctive counterattack.

A branch of the World Tree swayed slightly, following Stellar Radiance Ancestor's mental link, and lashed back at him.

In the cosmic vacuum, the surface of that huge transparent container cracked all over.

"No—what monster is this!" Stellar Radiance Ancestor's brainstem shrieked in agony.

The container shattered, and the nutrient fluid instantly vaporized in the vacuum.

That massive brainstem lost its life-support protection, exposed to the extreme cold of space.

Gu Yuan reached out and snatched its true spirit away, rolling it into a translucent orb.

The Four Great Conglomerate Patriarchs—two of them were gone in an instant.

Return to the Abyss Ancestor utterly lost the will to resist.

His massive toxic wood trunk writhed wildly, spewing torrents of emerald poison mist to obscure Gu Yuan's sight, while he turned tail, preparing to abandon the foundation he had cultivated for three thousand years and flee into deep space.

"You've come all this way—why rush to leave?"

Gu Yuan drawled, stepped forward, and directly blocked Return to the Abyss Ancestor's escape route.

Seeing his retreat blocked, Return to the Abyss Ancestor grew vicious; his withered wood split open a giant maw, compressing all his poison into a emerald toxic pill which he hurled fiercely at Gu Yuan.

This toxic pill condensed his three thousand years of origin toxin, said to be able to corrode the Heavenly Dao.

Interestingly, Gu Yuan watched the incoming toxic pill without any thought of dodging.

The Immortal Celestial Body is inherently immune to all poisons, and besides, he still retains part of the medicinal legacy left by the Myriad Medicine Divine Lord within him.

Gu Yuan raised a hand and pointed; his fingertip flowed with the Life Creation Law, precisely striking the toxic pill.

The poison potent enough to corrode space, under the scouring of the Creation Law, was forcibly reversed in nature.

The emerald poisonous gas was stripped away; the remaining pure wood-origin turned into a green light, which Gu Yuan inhaled into his dantian, becoming nourishment for the World Tree.

"The flavor's off, too many impurities." Gu Yuan gave a fair assessment.

Return to the Abyss Ancestor's withered wood trunk, bereft of its origin, quickly withered into a pile of rotten timber.

Gu Yuan did the same, drawing out its true spirit and rolling it into a third orb.

The starry sky returned to tranquility.

Only those ruptured energy conduits still sprayed out residual spiritual energy.

Gu Yuan spread his palm, three light orbs spun in the center of his palm, emitting a faint wail.

He examined these three so-called True Immortal remnants, unable to help shaking his head.

"Too weak."

This assessment came from the depths of his heart.

In the Primordial Immortal Realm, even cultivators like Gu Zhangfeng and Gu Yunlan who have just entered the Supreme Realm, relying on their insight into the Great Dao and solid Dao foundation, might not be much weaker than the opponent; at least exchanging a few moves would be no problem.

In the Heavenly Pivot Origin Realm, these few-month-old monsters possess True Immortal-level energy reserves, yet their manipulation of laws is as clumsy as a child who has just learned to walk.

They relied on the Stellar River Great Array to forcibly draw blood, pushing their realm to this height, yet they lost the cultivators' most essential Dao.

"False prosperity built from external objects, when faced with true suppression of laws, they don't even have the qualifications to fight back." Gu Yuan stored the three light orbs in his storage ring, "What a waste of the words True Immortal."

After disposing of these three defective products, Gu Yuan did not leave just yet.

His gaze pierced through the floating meteorite debris, straight to the deepest part of the asteroid belt, onto that inconspicuous dead silent meteorite.

The Myriad Dao Time Lamp slowly turned in Gu Yuan's sea of consciousness, the red karma line linking to A Qi's sea of consciousness originating from within that meteorite.

"Don't pretend to be dead."

Gu Yuan walked toward that meteorite with his hands behind his back, at a leisurely pace.

"I've dismantled all three of them, and you're still pretending to sleep now—it's too much of an insult to me, Tianyuan Old Ancestor, am I right?"

The meteorite's interior was completely still, as if it were truly a dead object.

Gu Yuan also didn't waste words, pointing his finger like a sword, a strand of sword qi infused with Void God Realm power shot out, directly splitting that hundred‑mile‑wide meteorite in two.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror.

As the meteorite split open, its interior was exposed to the starry sky.

A withered, firewood‑like corpse sat cross‑legged at the center of the void array lines.

It had no mechanical prosthetics, no nutrient‑solution containers; this corpse retained the most primitive carbon‑based form, but its vitality had waned to the extreme, like a piece of dried rotting wood.

Just as the meteorite was split open, that withered corpse slowly opened its eyes.

Those were a pair of cloudy eyes that revealed endless calculation.

In the Heavenly Pivot Origin Realm's four major conglomerates, the Tianyuan Old Ancestor who had lived the longest and hidden the deepest was finally forced out of hiding.
