Chapter 524: Three Bodies Transforming Dao, Family Head's Divine Might

Good.

Gu Lin Tian drew a deep breath and spoke no further.

His black king's robe stirred without wind, and in his eyes the sun and moon seemed to rise and fall, epochs turning.

He stepped forward, and the laws of the Gu Family Divine Island all resonated with him.

"The Three Lives Transforming Dao Body."

Gu Lin Tian's voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry a strange power where his words became law.

The instant his words fell,

A figure identical to him appeared behind him, wearing ancient battle armor, its aura weathered, as if walking out of the long river of ages.

This is his past self!

Formed from his past cultivation insights and solid Dao foundation, it governs defense, invulnerable to all laws!

Immediately after,

Another figure condensed before him.

This figure was elusive, shrouded in misty fragments of time, indistinct, as if it might merge into the future at any moment, its aura profound to the extreme.

This is his future self!

Formed from his deduction of the Great Dao and his hopes for the future, it governs attack; with a thought it can cross time and space to slay enemies in the future!

Past self, present self, future self!

The three figures stood in a triangular formation, each exuding a genuine ordinary peak Immortal King aura.

This is the ultimate result of Gu Lin Tian's ten-year seclusion, after refining the 【Primordial Giant Head Dao Fruit】 and pushing his cultivation art to the extreme!

United as one, he is confident he can contend with a Jue Dian Immortal King peak, a half-step Giant Head!

"Father, look…"

Gu Lin Tian was about to have his three incarnations practice a bit, to show his father the fruits of his ten years.

On his waist lay a bloodline soul jade refined from the fresh blood of core Gu Family members.

It suddenly trembled violently, its surface even showing fine cracks.

This is… a distress signal!

Gu Lin Tian's expression changed.

His divine sense entered the jade, and two weak yet urgent voices immediately rang in his mind.

"Ancestor! Family Head! Save us!"

It was Gu Zhan.

"Hurry! Coordinates… Boundary Sea, Heavenly Ring Realm! I and Gu Zhan are being besieged by four Jue Dian Immortal Kings; we can't hold on much longer!"

Gu Lin Tian's handsome face instantly filled with cold frost.

Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao, who had both just broken through to Immortal King, were the family's mainstays—yet they were simultaneously ambushed?

And it was four Jue Dian Immortal Kings?

"Boundary Sea… Heavenly Ring Realm?"

Gu Lin Tian furrowed his brows; he had never heard of this place.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Cangsheng cracked open a melon seed and asked leisurely.

"Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao are in trouble; at a place called Heavenly Ring Realm in the Boundary Sea, they're being besieged by four or more Jue Dian Immortal Kings."

Gu Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

Gu Cangsheng raised an eyebrow, his face showing no expression,

"Those two brats, just newly become Immortal Kings, dare to run about aimlessly in a place like the Boundary Sea—what gall!"

He said this, rose to his feet, seeming ready to set out.

"Father, no need."

Gu Lin Tian, however, stopped him.

Gu Cangsheng halted his steps, looking at his son with some surprise.

Gu Lin Tian looked at his past and future selves beside him, battle intent rising in his eyes.

"Perfect—let you see whether the trump card your son has forged these ten years is up to snuff."

He needed a true battle to test his strength.

He also needed a resounding victory to prove to the family, to his father, and to the son who already walks ahead of him that Gu Lin Tian remains the family's foremost pillar.

Gu Cangsheng looked at him, a hint of amusement flickering in his perpetually half-lidded eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"The enemy has at least four Jue Dian Immortal Kings. Moreover, the old slickers in the Boundary Sea have tricks far dirtier than those pampered elites of the Immortal Realm."

"I'm sure."

Gu Lin Tian answered with unequivocal certainty.

He slashed his right hand, tearing open a black rift in the void; at its other end, violent chaotic qi flow and space turbulence surged—this was the passage to the Boundary Sea.

Since entering the Immortal King realm,

he naturally knows how to reach the Boundary Sea.

Ordinary Immortal Kings would never enter the Boundary Sea unless faced with a life‑or‑death crisis.

Once they go, they may never return!

He glanced at the coordinates transmitted from the soul jade, hesitated not at all, and stepped forward.

The past and future selves closely followed behind.

In the bamboo grove, only Gu Cangsheng remained.

He watched as the space crack slowly closed, rubbing his chin.

"Interesting."

He wasn't truly relieved; instead, he took the Chaos Immortal Bell from his shoulder and lightly patted it.

"Old partner, time to get to work."

The bell's body trembled slightly, emitting a faint hum almost inaudible.

Gu Cangsheng gave a hehe laugh, and his figure also vanished from the spot.

He needed to go see the past.

It's not that he didn't trust his own son.

Mainly, he was afraid his son would act too slowly, letting those few Jue Dian escape.

Those are all top-notch materials for forging and fertilizer.

Waste is shameful.

Of course, most importantly……

"Gu Zhan and Xue Dao, two youngsters, got swept into the Boundary Sea, and there are four Jue Dian as well…… What a coincidence? Hehehe……"

……

Boundary Sea, a vast expanse filled with chaotic emptiness.

Countless shattered world remnants, like isolated islands, drifted within the grayish chaotic currents.

Upon one particularly enormous fragment of a world, a brutal siege was currently unfolding.

This world remnant, shaped like an irregular ring, is thus called by the wanderers of the Boundary Sea——the Heavenly Ring Realm.

At this moment, the center of the Heavenly Ring Realm.

Gu Zhan was drenched in blood, his immortal war body, comparable to an Immortal King's artifact, covered with wounds deep enough to expose bone.

A terrifying sword wound ran from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, nearly cleaving him in half.

Another piercing wound in his chest was front-to-back transparent, revealing a golden heart stubbornly beating inside.

Beside him, Gu Xue Dao's situation was no better.

His signature red hair, stained by some unknown corrosive law, became matted and ruined; his blood-red robe had long turned into ragged strips, and his sword-wielding right arm was severed at the shoulder.

The two stood back to back, panting heavily, yet their eyes remained fierce as wolves.

Around them, four terrifying figures emanating the aura of Jue Dian Immortal Kings surrounded them in a tight circle.

These four were each different in form.

One was a stooped old man whose face was covered in compound eyes, resembling a humanoid praying mantis.

One was a mass of constantly writhing black sludge, within which painful, wailing human faces occasionally surfaced.

One was a knight clad in white bone armor, wielding a massive bone scythe, beneath which flickered a jade-green soul fire.

The last was a woman of bewitching beauty, clad in revealing gauze, yet from her back extended eight spider-like, menacing limbs.

"Two youngsters from the Immortal Realm, quite resilient—take them down, seize their origin and memories, follow their trail, and slaughter them at their base!"
