Chapter 1000

Back then, Gu Yue Laozi had already foreseen future events?

A hint of horror appeared on the Azure Abyss Emperor's face.

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

This is a scheme laid out before endless ages!

The Azure Abyss Emperor secretly thought, "Is Gu Yue Laozi really that terrifying?"

He thought he couldn't do it!

The Gu Clan and the Gui Clan both stepped into the World Tree from the outside world, and they have always been extremely mysterious.

And Gu Yue Laozi is the mystery among mysteries.

He had visited Gu Yue Laozi several times, yet he had never seen his true form, always facing only his stone statue.

And now, Gu Yue Laozi is using the Karma Gu to scheme events in the lower realm; his methods can be said to be heaven-defying!

Thinking thus, a tremendously strong obsession burst forth in the Azure Abyss Emperor's heart.

That is to leave the World Tree and go see the outside world.

The World Tree will die; staying here just means waiting for death!

The outside world, plus the Butterfly World, the Giant Palm World, and even beyond that, there are even more transcendent realms.

But his current strength cannot leave the World Tree!

So he has teamed up with the Gu Origin Heaven and the Gui Palace!

At this time, Bai Loulan explained, "Gu Yue Laozi is naturally peerlessly strong; this is not just his combat power, but his control over karma and fate."

At least, almost every Gu of the Gu Origin Heaven is under Gu Yue Laozi's control.

Except for Fang Yuan, that traitor!

The Azure Abyss Emperor nodded, "Tell me about refining the Gu."

Bai Loulan said, "There are three ways to refine Gu. The first is to borrow the Gu, for example the Nine-turn Battle Gu; if the Emperor uses this method, his combat power can increase, but it is far from the Nine-turn Battle Gu's limit!"

"The second way is to refine and fuse the Gu into the body. This also does not reach the Gu's limit, but it improves much more than the first way."

"The third way is like me, letting the Gu completely enter the body, achieving human-Gu union! Only then can the ultimate power of the Nine-turn Battle Gu erupt!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor seemed thoughtful, and said nothing.

Bai Loulan coldly snorted in her heart; before descending to Azure Abyss Heaven, Gu Yue Laozi had already evaluated the Azure Abyss Emperor.

"Greed, useless caution."

Gu Yue Laozi knew the Azure Abyss Emperor would first choose the second refinement method, but in the end he could not resist the temptation and fully merged human and Gu.

By then, the Azure Abyss Emperor, single-mindedly seeking death, would completely become a death warrior of their Gu Origin Heaven!

A moment later.

The Azure Abyss Emperor looked at Sun Qinghou and said, "Next, you arrange to investigate the whereabouts of Yang Ling'er and Yang Xuan! Over these years I've had you deal with the Heaven-Burying Alliance's weeds, yet there's been no progress? Handle both of these matters together!"

Sun Qinghou broke into a sweat, not knowing how to answer.

Over these years, the Heaven-Burying Alliance has indeed grown strong, spreading throughout Azure Abyss Heaven.

He even suspected that some high-star Dao Void realm experts had also joined it.

But he still found no clues!

"Yes, sir!"

Sun Qinghou shouted.

Bai Loulan looked at Sun Qinghou with a solemn expression, coldly thinking in her heart, "This fellow actually managed to escape back from that battle in the Weiyang Heaven; he does have some ability."

Not long after, the Azure Abyss Emperor had people arrange for Bai Loulan and the Gui Palace's Heze Elder, etc., to leave.

He suppressed his excitement, took the Nine-turn Battle Gu, and stepped into the depths of Qingming Tiangong.

He sat cross-legged; the Nine-turn Gu in his hand floated before him, emitting a brilliant golden light.

He extended a thread of divine sense into it, feeling only that it was immeasurably vast, like a star, immeasurably huge, and also like a heart, radiating the vitality of a living thing.

He could not see through it.

"Nine-turn Battle Gu!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor chanted, although he strongly desired to refine it immediately, he knew it was not the time and still needed to investigate further.

But first, let's experience the thrill of activating the Nine-turn Battle Gu.

The Azure Abyss Emperor slowly rose and spoke a name, "Situ Zhen!"

"Boom!"

Outside Qingming Tiangong, a middle-aged man in heavy armor, blade in hand, stepped into the palace; his expression was solemn, with a 'guo' character face, seemingly possessing a 'righteous aura' that clashed with the Azure Abyss Emperor, and he quickly came before the Azure Abyss Emperor, clasped his hands and bowed, "Your subordinate is here!"

The visitor was none other than the Commander of the Azure Abyss Army, Situ Zhen, a nine-star Dao Void cultivator.

The Nine-turn One-track Seeking Death Gu in the Azure Abyss Emperor's hand flashed with divine radiance; he smiled and said, "Come, let's practice together."

Situ Zhen gave a wry smile, "Your Majesty, your cultivation of the Azure Abyss Profound Technique is unmatched; I am no match for you. Moreover, as ruler of the four directions, you can mobilize the World Tree power of Azure Abyss Heaven; I have no strength to resist."

The Azure Abyss Emperor's imperial dignity faded, and he said lightly, "No problem. I know your strength; I'll only exert a little force—come with me to observe the power of the Nine-turn Battle Gu."

Situ Zhen showed a 'big-headed' expression, feeling he could not escape.

Soon, the Azure Abyss Emperor and Situ Zhen arrived at a stretch of starry sky.

The Azure Abyss Emperor directly activated the Nine-turn One-track Seeking Death Gu.

Instantly, a strange power appeared on his body; he felt a power hard to describe filling his limbs and bones.

Fight!

Let him fight!

Golden Dao Resonance surged from within him like golden radiance, like a great sun, rays stretching infinitely, terrifying without bound.

The single-minded seeking-death power surged within the Azure Abyss Emperor like a gale, but he could not perceive it; he could only feel his will filled with terrifying battle intent.

Boom!

Azure Abyss Emperor slapped out a big hand; surging stellar power tore heaven and earth, forming a sky‑reaching giant palm.

It blotted out the sky and sun, raising a terrifying storm!

Situ Zhen's face grew grave; he drew his long blade and shouted, 'Azure Sky Three Slashes!'

Swish!

His body erupted with surging sword intent; the blade light surged like an endless river, rushing ceaselessly, finally turning into a great river that charged toward that giant palm.

The great river was icy cold, containing endless blade qi!

This was only the first slash!

Boom—!

Two extreme forces collided; the Azure Abyss Emperor's giant palm held the will of Azure Abyss Heaven, and with the boost of the Nine‑turn One‑heart Seek Death Poison Insect, its power increased severalfold.

The river of blade qi vanished in an instant!

Pfft!

Situ Zhen didn't have time to unleash a second slash before he spat out a mouthful of essence blood and was blown back hundreds of thousands of zhang.

"Your Majesty is too strong. I'm no match."

Situ Zhen gritted his teeth.

Azure Abyss Emperor laughed loudly, saying, 'Not bad for the leader of my Azure Abyss Army; you've got some skill!'

Situ Zhen: "..."

He really wanted to leave!

He couldn't beat the Azure Abyss Emperor before, and now that the Emperor wields a Nine‑turn Poison Insect, he's even less of a match!

The gap is too great!

Azure Abyss Emperor, activating the Nine‑turn Poison Insect for the first time, felt very pleased: 'Not bad, not bad. Unleash all of your Azure Sky Three Slashes! Today I'll give you some pointers!'
