Chapter 439

Gurgle

No one knew who had swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The elites of the Jade Pool Holy Land no longer had their earlier lofty bearing.

Gazing at the black-clad youth bathed in demonic aura, like an ancient demon god descending into the world, an uncontrollable fear spread from the depths of their hearts.

"What... what kind of monster is this?!"

"He literally tore apart a True Immortal and drained his origin... This is a demonic cultivator! A true unparalleled great demon!"

Yao Qinglian's face also turned deathly pale; the hand holding the Eight Trigrams Treasure Mirror trembled slightly.

She finally understood why the mirror reacted so strongly to this native.

This pure destruction and evil simply does not belong to the Primordial Immortal Realm!

"Elders, this scoundrel is ferocious, far from an ordinary True Immortal! Form the Jade Pool Execution Immortal Array, and together with me, suppress this demon!"

Yao Qinglian shrieked sharply, her voice already tinged with an undisguisable panic.

"Form the array!"

The five half-step Immortal King–level elders shouted in unison, dozens of Jade Pool True Immortals swiftly took position, and streams of glazed immortal light shot up, weaving on the Heavenly Dome into a huge Execution Immortal Array diagram.

As the diagram turned, a terrifying killing intent capable of shredding everything locked firmly onto Gu Yuan below.

"Yuan! Be careful!" Hun Yuan Xue shouted from behind; although she was arrogant, she also saw that the power of the Jade Pool Execution Immortal Array was not to be trifled with.

"An array?"

Gu Yuan merely gave a disdainful cold snort.

"In the face of absolute power, all fancy tricks are nothing but paper tigers!"

Boom!

He stomped the ground with both legs, and the entire white jade plaza collapsed with a roar into a huge pit.

Leveraging that terrifying recoil force, Gu Yuan shot up like a shell from a barrel, defying the heavens as he charged straight at the huge Execution Immortal Array diagram.

"Courting death! Execution Immortal sword qi, slash!"

Seeing this, Yao Qinglian's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and she pointed a finger with her hand seal.

Within the diagram, countless strands of glazed sword qi condensed, pouring down on Gu Yuan like a violent storm.

Each strand of sword qi could heavily wound a peak True Immortal!

Yet, faced with this rain of swords filling the sky, Gu Yuan had no intention of dodging at all.

He drew a deep breath, and his qi and blood surged within him like roaring rivers.

Ashen-black Extinction Source power condensed on his body's surface into a thick layer of demonic armor.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

The dense sword qi bombarded the demonic armor, erupting in blinding sparks.

Yet the Execution Immortal sword qi, capable of piercing immortal metal, could not break through the defense bolstered by his Primeval Sacred Body and Extinction Source power!

"How is this possible?!" the five half-step Immortal King elders exclaimed in unison.

"Break it!"

Gu Yuan had already rushed to directly beneath the diagram. He roared, clenched his right fist, gathering all his strength together with the boundless Extinction Source power at his knuckles, and slammed a fierce punch at the huge diagram.

This punch had no name.

Only pure violence!

Rumble—!!!

An indescribably terrifying roar exploded in the third-layer space.

The Jade Pool Execution Immortal Array, which had gathered the power of dozens of True Immortals and five half-step Immortal Kings, shattered like fragile glass from its center under Gu Yuan's all-out punch.

The violent backlash instantly swept outward.

"Pah—!"

On the Heavenly Dome, dozens of Jade Pool elites, as if struck by lightning, all spat out blood and fell from midair like dumplings.

The five half-step Immortal King elders also turned deathly pale, repeatedly retreating, their eyes filled with shock.

One punch!

Just one punch, and he broke one of the Jade Pool Holy Land's protective Great Arrays!

"Is this guy even human?!"

Lei Qianjue, watching from the Heaven-Reaching Vine, broke into a cold sweat, a wave of lingering fear surging in his heart.

If he had actually made a move just now, the one lying on the ground vomiting blood would probably be him.

At the moment the diagram shattered, Gu Yuan's figure, like a ghost, slipped through the chaotic energy storm and appeared directly before Yao Qinglian.

Those emotionless ashen-black eyes locked firmly onto the lofty Jade Pool Holy Maiden.

"Y-... what do you want? I am the Jade Pool Holy Maiden; if you dare touch me, the Holy Lord will never let you off..."

Yao Qinglian panicked completely, retreating while issuing hollow threats.

"Noisy."

Gu Yuan couldn't be bothered to listen to her nonsense.

He shot out his right hand like lightning, gripping Yao Qinglian's fair neck in one grasp and lifting her off the ground like a chick.

"Uh... let... let me go..."

Yao Qinglian struggled desperately, but that great hand remained immobile as if cast of iron, while ashen-black demonic energy streamed into her body through her neck, frantically sealing her immortal essence.

"Holy Maiden!"

The five elders, seeing this, were greatly alarmed and, disregarding their injuries, tried to rush forward to rescue.

"Get lost!"

Gu Yuan didn't turn his head, his left hand fiercely waved backward.

A wave of extinction source qi, like moving mountains and overturning seas, roared out, directly blasting the five half-step immortal kings flying, heavily smashing them onto the distant immortal mountain.

Gu Yuan turned his head, looking at Yao Qinglian in his hand, her face full of despair and fear, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cruel smile.

"You just said you wanted to search my soul?"

"How about I first taste the origin of the Jade Pool Holy Maiden to see what it's like?"

Before his words faded, the Myriad Transformations Return to Origin Art activated again!

"No——!!!"

Amid Yao Qinglian's tragic, despairing screams, Gu Yuan began to madly devour her cultivation and origin without a hint of pity.

Just then, down below, Gu Yuan slaughtered in all directions, treating the heavenly prodigies of the Jade Pool Holy Land as blood food and madly massacring them.

In the third layer of the Sending Heaven Hall, deep within the purple-gold heavenly canopy flowing with Term: Hong Meng Dao Qi.

Gu Yuan's true self wore the Heaven-Deceiving Cloak, like a shadow isolated from the world, seated in meditation amidst chaos.

The World Tree Roots in his inner world had already turned into billions of invisible tendrils, silently probing into this origin sea, madly absorbing the Term: Hong Meng Dao Qi that even the supreme heavenly prodigies could only sigh at in awe.

These supreme origin qi were drawn into his inner world one strand after another, then immediately transformed by the flawed supreme immortal artifact, the Primordial Source Dao Disk, into purer, more easily absorbed source dao qi for storage, ready to be taken back to the Gu Family.

"Tsk tsk, this ancient sacred body combined with the Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge's extinction source power really makes for a flesh‑to‑flesh fight—violent aesthetics."

Gu Yuan's true self silently commented in his mind.

"Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge, Now Faction: Zang Tian Ge, you said you'd take responsibility for anything that happened, didn't you? You said you'd clean up anyone with power above an immortal king who dared to move against me, didn't you?"

"Now the Jade Pool Holy Lord, this great immortal king, has his eyes on you. I want to see if you lot of sewer rats can withstand this overwhelming fury."

"But..."

Gu Yuan watched his avatar smash the Slay Immortal Formation Diagram with a single punch, pinch Yao Qinglian's neck like a chick, and begin madly devouring her origin in public, his brow faintly furrowing.
