Chapter 487: So Even Giants Can Die!
"To me, devouring Dao Fruit to raise my realm is the lowest method. My Dao is creation, evolution, and the inclusion of all phenomena."
He spoke softly, yet his voice carried an innate confidence and dominance.
Within his dantian lies a vast divine realm of its own, where the World Tree reaches heaven and earth, the nascent form of the Six Realms' cycle appears, and a Human Emperor's seal suppresses fortune. His path has never been mere taking and absorbing; it is creation and bestowal.
Any external great Dao law, no matter how lofty, once he devours it, will ultimately be broken down and reassembled by the World Tree into nourishment for his inner world's growth, rather than becoming his own power directly.
Though this Primordial Chaos Giant Dao Fruit is precious, its greatest value to him is merely to refine the heavenly Dao laws of his inner world, still far from the step he truly wishes to take.
But for his father Gu Lin Tian, it is entirely different.
Gu Lin Tian follows the traditional Immortal Path, slaying three corpses, attaining the Mixed Origin, each step solid as rock.
He has only just begun to attempt breaking through the Immortal King, a crucial period that demands massive high‑grade origins to stabilize his realm and expand his immortal veins.
This Giant Dao Fruit, containing the complete Primordial Chaos law, is, to him, nothing less than a supreme ladder that reaches the heavens in a single step!
At least until he grows to half‑giant, no bottleneck will appear again!
"Father, you are the head of the Gu Family; your strength is the firmest backing of the entire clan."
Gu Yuan solemnly placed the heavy Dao Fruit before Gu Lin Tian,
"While I, Yuan'er, fight abroad, my greatest wish is for the household to have an unsurpassed presence that can suppress the ages and deter every petty scoundrel from prying. Grandfather likes to roam the clouds, so this heavy responsibility can only rest on your shoulders."
Gu Lin Tian gazed at his son's clear, resolute eyes, and hearing the phrase 'firmest backing,' his eyes involuntarily grew slightly moist.
He has spent his life in armor and horses, expanding the family's lands, all for the day when he can raise an absolutely safe sky for his children and the whole clan.
Not long ago, he was still exhausting himself over the family's lack of Immortal King combat power, worrying incessantly about his son's reckless ventures.
Yet in an instant, his son not only rose to a realm beyond his comprehension, but also returned with a supreme destiny that could launch the entire family skyward.
"Fine... fine! Father accepts!"
Gu Lin Tian no longer declined; he inhaled deeply, extended his slightly trembling hand, and took the Primordial Chaos Giant Dao Fruit.
As soon as he grasped the Dao Fruit, a massive surge of Primordial Chaos purple Qi rushed up his arm into his body; his newly forged Immortal King Dao Fruit, under the impact of this breath, began a frantic evolution and expansion. Even a single stray wisp of that breath produced such miraculous effect!
Gu Lin Tian felt a towering wave surge within his heart; he looked at Gu Yuan and said solemnly,
"Yuan'er, rest assured! Once I, your father, refine this fruit, I will ascend to the giant realm! Then, across all heavens and myriad worlds, none shall dare offend the Gu Family!"
"Hahaha, good! This is truly my son Gu Lin Tian, full of resolve!" Beside them, Gu Cangsheng clapped his hands and laughed, his face brimming with pride.
And the butcher kneeling on the ground had completely lost the ability to think.
The Primordial Chaos Giant Dao Fruit...
It exists only in the Sea of Realms, a thing found solely in the oldest legends.
Legend says it was a primordial divine artifact born with the universe at the dawn of chaos; a single one could forge a supreme giant capable of suppressing an entire epoch!
He had once witnessed, with his own eyes, the five supreme eternal existences of the Unified Realm clash over a fragment of a world seemingly tainted by Primordial Chaos, shattering the Sea of Realms and turning myriad paths into ruins.
But now, such a complete supreme artifact, capable of driving eternal existences mad, is being treated as a filial gift to a father and sent away?
The butcher felt his very spirit trembling; he imagined himself as a poor rural landlord whose greatest lifelong wish was a full meal, suddenly thrust into a banquet of deities, watching them use stars as marbles and the Milky Way as fine wine.
Yet Gu Yuan's next move made him realize that this banquet had only just begun.
Senior Wan Yao.
Gu Yuan's gaze shifted to the Wan Yao Divine Lord, who was equally stunned beside him.
"Young Master... Young Master, I am here!"
The Wan Yao Divine Lord flinched, quickly bowing and replying.
Gu Yuan nodded, and waved his hand again.
Boom!
A terrifying aura, unlike any previous treasure, brimming with dominance, ferocity, as if to revert all things to their origin, instantly filled the Eternal Hall!
It was a golden, magma‑like viscous orb of light.
Within the orb, countless delicate laws could be faintly seen intertwining.
Each pulse caused space itself to warp.
It was the complete origin Dao Fruit of the body‑cultivation giant—King Wu—instantly slain by Gu Yuan from the Sending Heaven Hall, together with Gu Cangsheng and Shou Zheng.
"This is..."
The Wan Yao Divine Lord's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted hoarsely,
"Pure body‑cultivation Immortal King origin! And... a complete Dao Fruit of a body‑cultivation giant?!"
As a former Jue Dian Immortal King, the Wan Yao Divine Lord's insight is truly vast.
He almost instantly recognized the origin of this mass.
"Not bad."
Gu Yuan nodded, his expression calm, and said,
"Senior, having seized the Twilight Immortal King's flesh, though reborn, that body is ultimately forged by the Apocalypse Dao, conflicting at times with your dantian origin, and its core is severely void, leaving many hidden wounds."
"This body‑cultivation giant's origin, supremely yang and rigid, its qi and blood vast as an ocean, can perfectly fill the void of your flesh, and even allow the merging of the Apocalypse Dao with the indestructible battle body in one furnace, taking you a further step beyond the pinnacle."
Gu Yuan's words struck like thunderbolts, exploding in the Wan Yao Divine Lord's mind.
He stared blankly at the golden giant origin, then glanced at Gu Yuan's young yet profound face, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
He recalled how much effort he had poured into repairing that shattered flesh.
But now, with Gu Yuan's strike, it is a complete origin of a giant Immortal King!
This is not a mere healing elixir; it is a broad road to rebirth!
It is an unparalleled grace capable of rebuilding his Dao foundation!
"Thump!"
The Wan Yao Divine Lord could no longer restrain his excitement and gratitude; his knees gave way, and he knelt heavily before Gu Yuan, tears streaming.
"Young Master... such a rebirth grace, I... I could never repay even after ten thousand deaths!"
He no longer knew what words to use to describe his present mood.
"Senior, please rise quickly."
Gu Yuan lifted his hand, and a gentle force lifted the Myriad Medicine Divine Lord.
"You have risked life and death for my Gu family, repeatedly stepping forward in times of crisis; this is what you deserve. My Gu family never mistreats its own."
These words made the Myriad Medicine Divine Lord feel even more moved beyond words.
And Tu beside him was completely numb.
If anything, sending out the Primordial Chaos Giant Head Dao Fruit refreshed his understanding.
"Then, taking the origin of a Giant Head Immortal King and sending it as a healing medicine to a guest elder…… this is trampling on his worldview!"
"\"Martial King…… a fallen Giant Head……\" Tu muttered, his eyes filled with endless horror."
"As it turns out, even a Giant Head can die!"
"Moreover, even the Origin Dao Fruit was completely stripped away!"
"What a terrifying record! What a domineering method!"
"Tu's gaze toward the Gu family grandfather and grandson was no longer shock, but pure, soul‑deep…… awe!"
"He had thought that by feigning submission, he still had a chance to turn things around."
"But now he finally realized that his petty schemes, in front of these people, were utterly ridiculous."
"This family's foundation had completely surpassed the limits of what he could imagine."
