Chapter 449: You've gone a bit too far

"Their hands have actually reached into the True Immortal Battlefield?!"

A stormy surge rose in the Supreme Immortal King's heart.

He was all too aware of the terror of Zang Tian Ge.

That mysterious organization, hidden in the dark side of the myriad worlds and tasked with destroying the world, likely has a master behind it who is a supreme taboo surpassing the Immortal King realm!

If we let the Thunder Emperor and Demon Lord forcibly descend their projections, not only would it thoroughly provoke the native laws of the True Immortal Battlefield, but it would also likely directly trigger the Extinction Source Power lurking in the darkness, causing the Sending Heaven Hall ruins to collapse completely and even pollute the origin of the Primordial Immortal Realm along the causal lines!

"We must not act rashly… at least not for now."

The Supreme Immortal King drew a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his unease,

"If we provoke the descent of a Supreme Immortal King, all my plans will come to nothing!"

"Looks like we must make preparations on two fronts…"

The Supreme Immortal King's gaze pierced the endless void, landing upon the True Immortal Battlefield, his eyes turning deep and icy.

……

Meanwhile, on the fourth layer of the Sending Heaven Hall,

Gu Yuan's clone was holding Hun Yuan Xue, bringing along her usual second key.

The gray-black demonic aura on his body surged violently like boiling magma.

Having successively devoured Yao Qinglian, Mo Wuxin, and Lei Qianjue, who had opened ninety-eight immortal meridians, this clone born of the World Tree's origin has seen its internal power swell to a hair-raising extent.

The Myriad Transformations Return to Origin Technique ran wildly, crushing the massive and mixed Immortal King origin, Thunder Law origin, and Demonic Dao origin, transforming them into the purest Extinction Source Power.

Gu Yuan's clone could clearly feel that, although his cultivation was still suppressed within the True Immortal realm, the strength of his fleshly body and the depth of his laws were already enough to match ordinary Immortal Kings head-on!

"Refreshing!"

Gu Yuan's clone let out a comfortable groan in his mind.

This effortless power surge from directly devouring others' Dao fruits is indeed easy to become addicted to. No wonder those fanatics of Zang Tian Ge are so enthusiastic about the Extinction Source Plan.

Just then, an extremely hidden, icy voice that seemed to echo from the depths of the soul suddenly transmitted into Gu Yuan's clone's sea of consciousness.

"Kid, you've gone a bit too far."

That voice carried an air of high-handed command, along with a hint of apprehension that could not be concealed.

Gu Yuan's clone slightly narrowed his gray-black eyes, said nothing, and merely replied coldly in his sea of consciousness: "Who are you?"

"I am the Eighth Elder of Zang Tian Ge."

That voice spoke arrogantly,

"From the moment you received the holy power empowerment, you are a reserve disciple under my command, and you belong to me."

"Oh? The Eighth Elder?"

Gu Yuan's clone curled the corner of his mouth in a sneering arc, his tone devoid of any reverence,

"I remember that the voice that empowered me said that, as long as I joined Zang Tian Ge, within this True Immortal Battlefield I would have the highest freedom of action. I can cause trouble, kill, loot! If anything happens, and a power surpassing Immortal Kings dares to move against you, you will yourselves clean it up."

"How come? I've only just killed two so-called peerless heavenly talents, and you come out telling me to restrain? Is Zang Tian Ge afraid of those bigwigs outside? Are you going back on your word?"

Faced with Gu Yuan's clone's blunt questioning, the Eighth Elder of Zang Tian Ge, far away beyond the endless void, nearly choked on his own blood from anger.

He was speechless.

He had seen arrogance before, but never this level of arrogance!

This kid is merely a native who just received the empowerment, yet he dares to speak to him, an Elder of Supreme Immortal King level, like this?!

But he really could do nothing about this kid!

Because he could not take action.

He had to suppress other Immortal Kings from acting against Gu Yuan through other means!

"Cough cough…"

The Eighth Elder gave a dry cough twice, forcibly suppressing his anger, his tone turning somewhat stiff,

"When have I ever said I would go back on my word? Just now those old coots outside went mad—wasn't it me who suppressed them for you? I'm merely reminding you to act with strategy!"

You've offended all the top lineages of the Primordial Immortal Realm; even if we can protect you, how will you lurk in the Immortal Realm thereafter? How will you carry out longer-term plans?

"Lurk? Why should I lurk?"

Gu Yuan's clone snorted, fully embodying the arrogant, bloodthirsty, kill-happy posture brought on by the demonic art,

"As long as I possess absolute power and kill them all, there will naturally be no need to lurk."

The Eighth Elder felt his scalp go numb.

This kid's disposition, under the catalysis of the Extinction Source Power, is downright more extreme than those orthodox Extinction Source Practitioners!

"You… you are simply unreasonable!"

The Eighth Elder, furious and defeated, transmitted his voice,

"In short, restrain yourself a bit! In the upcoming actions, you must obey my commands; when necessary, you may seek refuge with Feng Lingyun, who will rendezvous with you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's clone's eyes flickered slightly.

Feng Lingyun?

That goddess of the Wind Empress lineage, outwardly aloof and unworldly, but actually a woman with deep scheming?

"Sure enough, Feng Lingyun is also one of your Zang Tian Ge people."

Gu Yuan's clone sneered in his sea of consciousness,

"When did this happen? Your Zang Tian Ge's reach is quite long."

Earlier on the second layer, Feng Lingyun unusually took the initiative to send a voice transmission warning him of the plots of Lei Qianjue and others, and Gu Yuan's main body had already sensed something was off about her.

Now it seems this woman likely had already secretly defected to Zang Tian Ge, or perhaps she herself is a pawn planted by Zang Tian Ge in the Immortal Realm!

"Don't ask what you shouldn't." The Eighth Elder interrupted impatiently, "Feng Lingyun's identity is top secret; you only need to know she is one of us."

"Forget it, it's not important."

Gu Yuan's avatar shrugged indifferently. No matter whose person she is, as long as she dares to block the way, kill without mistake.

The main body over there has already given the order: we must use this avatar's cover to infiltrate the interior.

As for whose interior to infiltrate.

It doesn't matter.

"Okay, I know. What do you want from me exactly? Don't tell me it's just to remind me to stay low-key."

Gu Yuan's avatar gave a casual reply.

Ba Zhang Lao fell silent for a moment, seeming to compose himself, after which his tone became incredibly grim and solemn:

"In the Place: Sheng Xian Chi of the Di Wu Ceng of the True Immortal battlefield, there lies the purest Hong Meng Dao Qi and the origin of the Immortal Dao left by the ancient heavenly court; that is the foundation used by the old fogies of the Primordial Immortal Realm to cultivate the next generation of giants."

"My order is: after you open the Di Wu Ceng, you must use every possible means to approach the Place: Sheng Xian Chi, and then drop this drop of liquid into it!"

Buzz!

As Ba Zhang Lao's words fell, a tiny spatial crack suddenly split open in Gu Yuan's avatar's sea of consciousness.

A drop of liquid, its whole body showing an eerie dark purple color, exuding a nauseating aura of decay and death, slowly drifted from the crack and hovered at the center of Gu Yuan's avatar's sea of consciousness.

At the moment this drop of liquid appeared, Gu Yuan's avatar even felt his soul tremble slightly!

Merely the wisp of aura it exudes could instantly drag an entire world into twilight and annihilation!

"This is... Yuan Du."

Ba Zhang Lao's voice carried a hint of fervor and awe: "This is a supreme holy object personally bestowed by the Lord! Just one drop is enough to contaminate the very source of the Place: Sheng Xian Chi! I will let the foundation of the Primordial Immortal Realm rot from within as well!"

"It is the supreme holy relic personally bestowed by the Lord! Just one drop is enough to pollute the very source of the entire Place: Sheng Xian Chi! I will make the foundation of the Primordial Immortal Realm also completely rot from within!"
