Chapter 527: Severing Karma of the Future
Run!
This is the only thought left in the minds of the three Jue Dian Immortal Kings.
We can't win, we absolutely can't win.
Staying here means only death.
The Mantis Old Man reacted fastest, he unhesitatingly burned his own origin, slashing both foreclaws into the void, tearing a black rift, and plunged in without looking back.
The Spider Woman also screamed, her body exploding into billions of tiny seven-colored spiders, scattering wildly in all directions.
This is her life-saving secret art; as long as one clone escapes, she can spend ages to return.
The White Bone Knight was the most decisive, he drove his bone sickle hard into his own chest; the jumping soul fire surged, igniting his entire skeletal frame into a greenish stream of light, burning everything as he fled into the depths of the Heavenly Ring Realm.
"Want to leave?"
Gu Lin Tian's voice remained calm.
But his past self, clad in ancient armor, suddenly shattered at this moment, turning into specks of light that remerged into his body.
Immediately after, his elusive future self blazed with light.
"Future, no life."
Gu Lin Tian whispered softly.
That future self again pointed toward a direction.
This time he pointed at the White Bone Knight fleeing into the void's depths, wildly burning his soul fire to escape.
The greenish stream of light stalled midair.
The White Bone Knight horrifiedly discovered that no matter how he burned his soul fire, he could not advance an inch.
He felt as if an invisible hand from the future timeline had gripped him tightly.
"No!"
He let out a desperate roar.
In the next instant, his burning soul fire, together with his body forged from countless experts' bones, turned to ash.
Another Jue Dian Immortal King fell.
After doing all this, Gu Lin Tian's future self grew dim, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
He glanced at the billions of scattering seven-colored spiders, then at the direction the Mantis Old Man vanished, and finally did not strike again.
The power granted by the Primordial Giant Head Dao Fruit was nearly exhausted.
"Three Lives Dao-Transformed Body" is powerful, but each use drains his origin greatly; especially the future self's ability to sever karma, which nearly sucked away half his strength.
In his current state, killing another would be difficult.
His main goal was to rescue Gu Zhan and Gu Xue Dao, and incidentally test his own strength.
Now that his goal is achieved, there's no need to pursue total annihilation and put himself in danger.
However, just as he prepared to retract his future self and take Gu Zhan away from this place of right and wrong.
A lazy voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"I say, Lin Tian, your fighting pose is pretty cool, but the finish is a bit clumsy."
Gu Lin Tian's body stiffened.
He turned sharply and saw an old man wearing straw sandals, hands in his pockets, a blade of dogtail grass in his mouth, standing behind him at some unknown time.
It was Gu Cangsheng.
"Dad? How did you come here?" Gu Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.
Gu Cangsheng gave him an annoyed glance, then his gaze fell on the billions of seven-colored spiders about to escape the Heavenly Ring Realm, and he curled his lip.
"All flash and no substance."
He stretched out a hand toward that direction and gently clenched.
"Come back!"
Hum—
The space of the Heavenly Ring Realm seemed, at this moment, compressed into a metal plate.
The seven-colored spiders that had fled billions of li struck an invisible wall and halted in unison.
Next, an irresistible suction emanated from Gu Cangsheng's palm.
Billions of spiders emitted shrill screams, involuntarily flying backward to reassemble in midair into the Spider Woman's terrified face.
"Fore... forefather, spare my life!"
The Spider Woman looked at Gu Cangsheng, her eyes full of despair.
Another monster!
Moreover, this ordinary-looking old man exerted pressure on her a hundred times more terrifying than the black-robed man just before.
"Spare you?"
Gu Cangsheng cleaned his ear, "In Yuan'er's divine kingdom, there just happens to be a missing Coiled Silk Cave; I think you're quite suitable."
He flicked his finger.
A grayish chaotic energy shot into the Spider Woman's brow, sealing her soul completely, then together with her body sealed into an amber-like bead, which he casually tossed to Gu Lin Tian.
After doing all this, he looked toward the Mantis Old Man's escape direction and stroked his chin.
"He sure runs fast."
He pulled from his sleeve a palm-sized bronze immortal bell.
"Old partner, time to work."
He tossed the immortal bell into the air.
Dang—
A resonant bell toll rang, echoing throughout the entire Realm Sea.
Wherever the bell sound passed, time and space froze.
In the distant depths of chaos, the mantis elder who had just ripped open a spatial rift and was preparing to flee completely, his body suddenly stiffened.
He turned his head in terror, only to see a massive bronze bell, disregarding the distance of time and space, crashing down upon his head.
"No!!!"
His last consciousness could only manage a desperate howl.
The bell fell, the soul perished.
Gu Cangsheng waved his hand, and the Chaos Immortal Bell flew back into his palm; the bell's mouth flickered, spitting out a dark-green Dao fruit, as well as two intact forelegs flashing with a sinister cold light.
"Hmm, not bad—this pair of pincers, take them back to stew soup for Yuan'er; it should be quite nourishing." Gu Cangsheng nodded satisfied.
Only then did he slowly walk to Gu Lin Tian's front, handing over the Dao fruit and the forelegs.
"There's also a little critter spying from the shadows."
Gu Lin Tian watched his father's smooth, flowing operation, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He had struggled hard, using avatars and burning his origin, just to kill two of them.
As a result, when his father made a move, the remaining two, plus a possibly existing one, were all easily resolved.
This is... the true power of a Giant Immortal King?
Correct.
The path my father walks is not the path of the Primordial Grand Dao.
In other words, do I also have hope to reach the same height as my father?
Thinking about it, I'm a little excited.
Wait.
One?
Gu Lin Tian suddenly realized something, and sharply looked toward his father.
Only saw Gu Cangsheng give a hehe smile, and patted the Chaos Immortal Bell again.
"Don't rush, there's another one that's even better at hiding."
He grinned at a certain direction in the void.
"After watching this show for so long, it's time to come out and pay the admission fee, right?"
Before his words even fell, he smashed the Immortal Bell hard toward that direction.
Boom!
The void shattered.
A figure shrouded entirely in shadows stumbled out from the shattered space, letting out a terrified shriek.
