Chapter 360: The Final Act

What is that?!

Demonic aura, it's demonic aura! The Second Prince has cultivated demonic arts! He has allied with the demon clan!

The officials below, upon seeing this scene, were terrified out of their wits.

However, only Gu Yuan knew.

This is not some demonic aura of the demon clan.

That is a degenerate law existing purely for destruction—Extinction Source Power!

Heh heh heh……

Yin Zhen let out an inhuman grin from his mouth, and his body, wrapped in gray-black mist, began to swell and mutate violently.

Rebel, don't be wild! Seize him for me!

Several loyalists of the Great Yin Imperial House, fourth-rank commanders of the Imperial Guard, seeing this, suppressed their fear, drew their waist swords, roared as they charged onto the platform, attempting to hack the mutated Yin Zhen to death with random blows.

However, they vastly underestimated the Extinction Source Power granted by the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge.

You should know.

That is a power only an Immortal King can wield.

In a world where even sages struggle to appear.

Even if it's only one ten-millionth, it's enough to slay these people.

Die!

Yin Zhen didn't even glance at them; several tentacles instantly sprouted from his back.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

Several muffled sounds of bodies being pierced rang out.

Those several Imperial Guard commanders, who possessed fourth-rank Martial Path cultivation and were considered top experts in the capital, didn't even have time to utter a scream before the gray-black tentacles precisely pierced their chests.

Immediately thereafter, a scene that made one's scalp tingle occurred.

Those tentacles, as if alive, writhed frenziedly.

The bodies of those Imperial Guard commanders withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Their qi and blood, true essence, and even their souls were devoured clean by the tentacles in less than a breath.

When the tentacles retracted, only several desiccated corpses remained—skin and bones resembling corpses weathered for a thousand years—and a gentle breeze blew them into flying ash.

Ah——!!!

Monster! He's a monster! Run!

This scene completely shattered the psychological defenses of everyone in the square.

Those nobles and officials, who usually acted high and mighty, mouthing benevolence and morality, now scrambled and crawled in panic toward the Supreme Harmony Gate.

Kill! Kill you all! I will use your blood to sacrifice for my throne!

Yin Zhen frantically waved his tentacles, and the gray-black mist spread like a tsunami in all directions.

Any palace maid, eunuch, or official whose body touched the mist would instantly begin to rot, emitting shrill screams, and eventually turn into pools of foul black water.

This aberrant monster is almost identical to the monster that mutated in the Twilight Divine Realm.

This scene further proves the purpose of the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge!

To contaminate the Heavenly Dao with Extinction Source Power, alter the Immortal Dao… and ultimately destroy this world!

Minister Gu, what… what demonic arts has this traitor cultivated! Quickly, suppress him!

Yin Xie looked in horror at Yin Zhen, who resembled a demon god descending into the world, and shouted loudly at Gu Yuan on the platform.

However, Gu Yuan, standing at the eye of the storm, seemed detached from it all.

He stood with his hands behind his back, silently in place, not even lifting an eyelid.

The rampaging gray-black mist and ferocious tentacles, upon approaching within three feet of Gu Yuan, were instantly annihilated by an invisible Law Power, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

Within Gu Yuan's inner world, the illusory World Tree emitted a faint seven-colored glow, completely assimilating these inferior Extinction Source Powers.

Is that all you've got? The dogs of the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge really are degenerating generation after generation.

Gu Yuan looked at the deranged Yin Zhen, his tone revealing undisguised disappointment.

After wielding the Extinction Source Power, Yin Zhen felt his strength had reached the limit of this world.

Even if the founding sage himself were present, perhaps it would be no different.

But that's just how it is.

His gaze toward Gu Yuan shifted from anger to contempt, then to horror!

Yet his beast-like intuition made him clearly feel the terror emanating from Gu Yuan.

He knew that even if he drained the blood of everyone here, he could not harm a single hair on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's existence is like an insurmountable primordial divine mountain, pressing down so he can barely breathe.

At this very moment.

He finally understood why the opponent was so overwhelmingly strong!

This is an existence that belongs to no world!

He felt he had surpassed even sages.

But only now did he realize… sages are merely the starting point for that person across from him!

But he cannot lose!

He has already become like this.

How could he allow Gu Ziyuan to live so comfortably!

Gu Ziyuan, wait for me! My master will not let you off! He will surely tear out your tendons and strip your skin, cast your soul into the Nine Underworlds, never to be reborn!

Yin Zhen roared with resentment, knowing he absolutely could not kill Gu Yuan here today, nor could he ever reclaim the throne.

He must escape!

As long as he escapes back to Jinghua Palace, as long as he can activate that formation hidden underground in the rear palace, he will summon his master!

He knew that his master was an existence surpassing a saint.

Absolutely not inferior to…

No!

It is definitely stronger than Gu Ziyuan!

Yinzhen bit his tongue tip, violently spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

In his hand, at some point, a black jade talisman appeared, emitting an ultimate abyssal aura.

This was the last life-saving trump card left by his mysterious master, containing a trace of world-breaking power.

According to his master's words.

This item can teleport him to any coordinates in this world.

The price is half of his life!

But his master also said that as long as he descends, he can easily surpass a saint and make up for this loss of lifespan!

Moreover, if he doesn't run now, he will really die here!

Thus…

Crack!

Yinzhen ruthlessly crushed the bone talisman.

The jade talisman was crushed by him in one grip.

A surge of spatial Law Power far exceeding Yinzhen's own cultivation level erupted explosively, forcibly tearing a black rift in the void of the Hall of Supreme Harmony sealed by Gu Yuan.

Yinzhen hesitated not at all, turning into a gray-black streak of light and plunging into the rift.

"He's trying to escape! Quickly stop him!" the Crown Prince shouted anxiously upon seeing this.

But at this moment, Yinzhen's body was bolstered by power surpassing a saint.

These people simply could not stop him; they could only watch helplessly as the Second Prince left.

As Yinzhen fled into the void rift, the tentacles rampaging across the plaza lost their source of power, turning into black smoke and dissipating.

The surviving officials lay on the ground, gasping heavily, looking at the ground covered in desiccated corpses and fresh blood, as if they had just awoken from a nightmare.

The Crown Prince Yinzhi ran to Gu Yuan's side, still shaken with fear, his voice trembling:

"Gu... Holy Master, that traitor has fled; his demonic arts are too terrifying. If he escapes the palace, there will be endless trouble!"

Gu Yuan turned his head, looking at Yinzhi's panicked expression, and softly said: "If the mouse doesn't run back to its hole, how can we dig out the whole nest?"

The Extinction Envoy of the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge is the ultimate goal of Gu Yuan's journey to the Great Yin Divine Dynasty.

A contaminated prince is nothing but bait.

Originally, his bait was the emperor, the Crown Prince.

Now it has been changed to the Second Prince.

But there's really no difference.

"Let's go, Your Highness—oh no, future Emperor," Gu Yuan stepped forward, walking unhurriedly toward the rear palace, "We'll go to Jinghua Palace to watch the final act of this play; the identity of that Virtuous Consort might surprise you."
