Chapter 478

In the depths of the endless void, inside an interworld passage constructed from pure silver light.

"Pfft—!"

Gu Yuan had just stumbled out of the teleportation portal when he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with a faint golden hue.

That blood contained extremely violent law fragments; as soon as it left his body, it scorched the surrounding void with a sizzling sound, turning it into nothingness.

His face was as pale as paper; through his semi-translucent skin, one could faintly see that deep in his dantian, his originally flawless inner world was being whipped up into a terror storm comparable to an apocalypse.

How terrifying was the power of the Giant Head Immortal King's origin explosion?

That was a Martial King who had reached the extreme of body cultivation in the Primordial Immortal Realm!

Even though Gu Yuan had only detonated a small fraction of the origin that had been swallowed, the destructive impact it produced almost tore apart the walls of his inner world, which had only recently expanded.

Within his inner world, heaven collapsed and earth split, seawater poured backward, and every strand of law chains snapped.

If it weren't for the World Tree, now grown into a towering giant tree, desperately swaying its seven-colored radiance and driving its roots deep into the void to stabilize heaven and earth; if it weren't for the damaged supreme imperial artifacts, the Ancient War Seal and the Ancient Human Emperor Seal, shining together and forcibly suppressing the chaotic space, Gu Yuan would likely have been blown apart by that force's backlash.

Even so, he still sustained extremely severe internal injuries, and the immortal body's almost monstrous regenerative power, under the damage to the Giant Head law, also proved inadequate.

"Yuan'er!"

Following closely, Gu Cangsheng stepped out of the portal and, upon seeing his grandson's miserable condition, the smug smile on his face instantly sank.

He tossed the chaotic immortal bell from his shoulder aside, strode in large steps to Gu Yuan's side, and his rough, massive hand pressed against Gu Yuan's back, a pure, boundless, supremely gentle chaotic primordial source flooding into Gu Yuan's body as if it cost nothing.

"You stinky kid! Have you gone mad?! That's the source of the Giant Head Immortal King, and you dare set it off inside your own belly?!" Gu Cangsheng

Gu Cangsheng, while untangling the chaotic law for his grandson, scolded him bitterly out of concern,

"I told you, when there's trouble Grandpa takes the lead; what are you trying to prove?! Even if those old bastards all attack together, I can still shield you and retreat unscathed!"

Feeling the warm chaotic source within swiftly pacify the turmoil of his inner world, Gu Yuan's pale face produced a weak yet triumphant smile.

"Cough… Grandpa, if we don't do it this way, how can we perfectly pin that black pot onto Zang Tian Ge's head?"

Gu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with a sly gleam,

"Moreover, unwilling to let the child go without catching the wolf, using the explosion as cover, my clone can legitimately seize the first and second layers of the Sending Heaven Hall, fully establishing Zang Tian Ge's thief identity. Thus, the giants of the Primordial Immortal Realm will cling to Zang Tian Ge like mad dogs, and the Gu Family will have ample time to reap this bounty."

Gu Cangsheng listened to his grandson's explanation, glared at him irritably, yet the pride deep in his eyes could not be hidden.

My own grandson, not only a prodigious talent but also adept at scheming hearts, is even more ruthless than this old monster who has lived for countless epochs.

To toy with the world's giants at will and still walk away unscathed—such tactics are truly without precedent!

"Fine, fine, stop showing off your scheming here."

Gu Cangsheng confirmed Gu Yuan's injuries had stabilized, then he let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and surveyed the surroundings.

Yet, at a glance, a hint of doubt flashed in Gu Cangsheng's deep eyes.

This place is not the Ancient Immortal Realm.

There is no familiar spiritual aura of the Gu Family Divine Island, nor the vast star river of Sanqian Zhou.

What met his eyes was a starry sky cloaked in an eerie dark‑red glow.

Above the Heavenly Dome hung a blood‑red moon of such colossal size it was suffocating.

The blood moon exuded a dense nether aura, like a gigantic malicious eye coldly gazing upon this world.

The air was filled with a sharp, metallic scent of blood and a faint whiff of decay.

"Yuan'er, did you open the portal to the wrong place?"

Gu Cangsheng frowned, "Where is this? The aura here feels gloomier than the Dusk Divine Realm, and… the stability of this world's law is no less than that of the core region of the Primordial Immortal Realm. This is a top‑tier immortal Dao grand world!"

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and stood upright.

Under the dual restoration of the World Tree and Gu Cangsheng's chaotic primordial source, his body was not that translucent.

He lifted his head, gazed at the eerie blood moon, and a meaningful curve curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Grandpa, I didn't open it wrong; the coordinates I locked onto are right here."

Gu Yuan said softly, "This place is not the Ancient Immortal Realm, yet it remains within the territory of the Primordial Immortal Realm."

"This place is the Eleventh Land of the Primordial Immortal Realm, called… Blood Moon Netherworld."

"Blood Moon Netherworld?" Gu Cangsheng raised an eyebrow, "You kid, you just seized the Immortal Court relics in the core of the Primordial Immortal Realm; why aren't you hurrying back home to divide the spoils, and instead run into their stronghold? Do you really think those giants are made of mud and can't track you?"

Gu Yuan smiled, his eyes flashing with wisdom: "Grandpa, the most dangerous places are often the safest. The Supreme Immortal King and his followers are surely hunting Zang Tian Ge's Ba Zhang Lao across the world; they never imagined we not only failed to escape back to the Ancient Immortal Realm, but are still lingering right under their noses."

"Moreover… I came here because I still have an unpaid debt and several missions unfinished."

He hasn't forgotten the mission that brought him here.

【Main Quest 1: Before the primordial toxin fully erupts, locate its core and make your choice—Purify or Seize.】

【Main Quest 2: Help an Immortal King walk the right path.】

【Final Quest: Seize or rectify the Heavenly Dao law of the 'Eleventh Land', and in the 'Eleventh Land', forge your divine throne.】

Gu Yuan looked at the golden lines, his smile becoming increasingly playful:

"Purify? Rectify? How troublesome."

"These three tasks, put plainly, aren't they the same thing?"

"If I can pack up and take the whole world, that so‑called primordial toxin becomes mine; helping an Immortal King walk the right path makes the Wu King very correct?"

"So why have so many complicated choices? Just seize everything outright, and it's done."

Gu Yuan turned his head, looked at Gu Cangsheng, his tone bearing an unmistakable domineering aura:

"Grandpa, I've set my eyes on this Blood Moon Netherworld. Its laws are complete and its area vast, making it an ideal launchpad for the Gu Family's future expansion."
