Chapter 378: I, Above All, Despise Traitors

Gu Cangsheng let out a big belch.

The sound was not loud, but it struck the Immortal King of the Quiet Spring and the Blood Robe Immortal King like an invisible hammer, pounding their hearts.

He smacked his lips, his face showing a strange expression as if he had tasted a peerless delicacy, still unsatisfied yet a bit disdainful.

"The flavor is a bit harsh, too many impurities; compared with that kid's craftsmanship, it's far inferior."

He was referring, of course, to the supreme elixirs that Gu Yuan had respectfully presented him earlier, brewed from incorruptible materials and Immortal King Dao Fruit.

Yet those words, heard by the Immortal King of the Quiet Spring, chilled him more than any venomous curse.

That was a projection of the Elder of the Great Hall's will!

It contained a sliver of the true Colossus's primal flesh and blood essence!

Ordinary Immortal Kings, even a trace of it would taint a Dao Fruit with that domineering Extinction Source power, eventually turning them into mindless killing husks.

Yet the Chaos Colossus that had just broken through, unbelievably… ate it as a snack?

And now he even complains the taste is bad?

The gray‑black mist enveloping the Immortal King of the Quiet Spring roiled violently; it was not anger but an unrestrained terror emanating from the deepest part of his soul.

He finally understood what kind of monster he had provoked.

This was no longer a gap between a Colossus and a half‑step Colossus; it was an absolute crushing at the level of life itself!

"Primordial Unfading Scripture!"

It is said that when cultivated to the extreme, one can transform into chaos, become invulnerable to all laws, and even reverse to devour and assimilate all alien principles for one's own use.

Legend says the previous forbidden existence that practiced this method, called the Primordial Celestial Venerable, once single‑handedly struck down countless universal strongmen for several epochs, and finally, it is said, the lofty Sovereign intervened to snuff it out before the supreme Colossus Gate.

In a sense, those who cultivate the Primordial Unfading Scripture are naturally antagonistic to Zang Tian Ge.

Yet now, this forbidden art lost for countless epochs has resurfaced, and an obscure clan patriarch has cultivated it to the Colossus Realm!

It may be only one step away from the realm that prompted the Sovereign's intervention!

Even that single step remains a great distance away!

"Run!"

It was the only thought in the Immortal King of the Quiet Spring's mind.

He no longer entertained any hope, nor could he covet any of Gu Yuan's treasures.

He snapped his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of Extinction Source True Blood that contained his Nine Foundations source.

"Blood Escape Demon Release, vanish for ten thousand li!"

The true blood detonated instantly in the void, turning into a thick, ink‑like blood mist; within the mist, countless snarling demon shadows shrieked, tearing space and forming an extremely unstable temporary portal.

This was his last‑resort life‑saving technique, costing a regression of one major cultivation realm, requiring at least a million years to recover.

But as long as he can survive, it is all worth it!

Yet, the moment his foot was about to step into that crimson portal,

a rough, calloused hand, as if from another dimension, floated and pressed onto his shoulder.

"Why the hurry?"

Gu Cangsheng's voice sounded beside his ear, as casually as chatting with a neighbor old man,

"I haven't had my fun yet; your flesh is fine, perfect to use as firewood for my incompetent disciple's alchemy."

The Immortal King of the Quiet Spring's hair stood on end instantly!

He whirled around sharply, only to see Gu Cangsheng's old face bearing a friendly smile.

Yet that smile, in his eyes, was more terrifying than the deepest demons of the Nine‑fold Hell.

"Chaos, cage."

Gu Cangsheng softly uttered the four words.

The void surrounding the Immortal King of the Quiet Spring solidified instantly.

The portal built from his primal true blood, along with the countless demon shadows inside, froze at that moment, then vanished silently like weathered sand drawings.

Immediately, gray‑purple chaos airstreams surged from all directions, forming massive law chains as thick as mountain ranges, binding him layer upon layer tightly.

The Extinction Source power within him, before this pure‑to‑the‑extreme chaos law, was like a venomous snake meeting its natural enemy, utterly suppressed and immobile.

"No…"

The Immortal King of the Quiet Spring could only let out a desperate howl before the chaos cage dragged him, hurling him toward Gu Cangsheng.

Gu Cangsheng didn't even glance at him, as if he had merely swatted a fly.

His gaze fell upon the Blood Robe Immortal King, who was trembling after Gu Yuan had stamped his foot on him.

"Your turn. I ask, you answer. Answer well, and I'll have my grandfather give you a good beating. Answer poorly…"

Gu Yuan pointed to the not‑faraway Immortal King of the Quiet Spring, being dragged by the chaos cage and gradually disintegrating.

"His fate will be your example."

The Blood Robe Immortal King was already terrified to the bone, daring no resistance; his divine thought poured out everything he knew, unreservedly, like beans spilling from a bowl.

The structure of Zang Tian Ge, the general star‑region coordinates of the Grand Hall, the conflicts between the Elder of the Great Hall and several other elders, and the true purpose of this operation…

Gu Yuan listened while nodding with satisfaction.

This information was far more detailed than what could be extracted from the Immortal King's mouth.

"Very good, you're quite timely."

After listening, Gu Yuan patted the Blood Robe Immortal King's cheek, as if praising an obedient dog.

A flicker of post‑catastrophe relief flashed in the Blood Robe Immortal King's eyes.

Yet Gu Yuan's next words plunged him into a bottomless abyss.

"However, I, above all, despise traitors."

Gu Yuan's smile vanished, replaced by a cold indifference.

Even his own organization can be sold without hesitation; keeping you will also become a disaster later.

You... you go back on your word! the Blood-Robe Immortal King was shocked and angry.

I only said I'd give you a quick death; I never said I wouldn't kill you.

Gu Yuan shrugged, drew on his grandfather's strength, and stepped down with one foot.

Bang!

An Immortal King of a generation was just like that, crushed into a puddle of flesh by his supreme power of the Human Emperor Seal, together with his Dao fruit and true spirit.

After doing all that, Gu Yuan clapped his hands, turned his head, and looked at Gu Cangsheng, who was busy dealing with the Secluded Spring Immortal King.

Only saw Gu Cangsheng open his mouth, like a great whale sucking in water, swallowing the Secluded Spring Immortal King's massive Immortal King form, together with the pure essence of the Extinction Source within him, in one gulp.

Burp~

Another loud belch.

On Gu Cangsheng's ancient bronze-colored old face, an abnormal flush rose, as if he were drunk.

This stuff still packs quite a punch.

He shook his head, chaotic qi surging around his body, forcibly suppressing and refining that violent Extinction Source power.

The Myriad Medicine Divine Lord beside him had gone completely numb.

Swallowed an Immortal King whole!

And it was a Jue Dian Immortal King!

This already exceeds his understanding.

He now seriously doubts whether his ancestor's cultivation is really the orthodox Primordial Immortality Classic; this damn thing is clearly the Primeval Glutton's swallowing divine ability!
