Chapter 81

Hum!

Above this stretch of heavens, an ancient and unadorned Chaos Square Vessel appeared out of thin air, Chaos Qi pervading, exuding an absolutely powerful Supreme pressure.

Gu Xuan's Supreme Weapon!

This is a weapon with Chaos Stone as its main body, fused with multiple types of Immortal Gold, refined by Gu Xuan over many years, and bathed in his and Void's supreme Treasure Blood.

Even though Gu Xuan has not yet proved the Dao and become Emperor, this weapon is already in no way inferior to other Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, and even faintly surpasses them.

Over a thousand years ago, after he "perished," this weapon was left at Qingyun Holy Land.

For many years, it has always guarded the depths of the Holy Land, rarely appearing in the world.

Now summoned by Gu Xuan, it has come to kill enemies together with its Owner.

The next moment.

The Chaos Square Vessel hung inverted, spraying out a stretch of Eternal Light from within.

Crimson light brilliant and gorgeous, a terrifying Great Ancient Array appeared, directly descending, submerging this Star Sky Battlefield within it.

In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed as if a boundless blood curtain had descended, bloody aura desperate to the extreme, crimson as far as the eye could see, killing intent surging to the heavens!

At the two ends of the Ancient Array, each suspended a dark red Killing Sword, reeking of blood, emitting incomparably sharp killing intent, as if they had slain hundreds of millions of living beings, and as if they had executed Immortals!

Desperate aura shaking the Cosmos, each Killing Sword seemed to have devoured the blood of hundreds of millions of living beings; clearly motionless, submerged there, yet emitting a Qi mechanism that severs the Ten Thousand Daos, destroying everything, breaking all things.

The Three Supremes' pupils contracted sharply, they sensed something, involuntarily raising their eyes to the heavens.

Only to see, above the battlefield, another Array Diagram slowly rotating; in a trance this stretch of starry sky was refined, forming a Killing Array world of its own, difficult to rush out of.

Lingbao Tianzun's Zhu Xian Sword Array?!

The Three Supremes' hearts jumped in alarm, this concept flashing through their minds subconsciously.

But they quickly reacted — this absolutely is not that legendary Number One Killing Formation Under Heaven, because there are only two Killing Swords, and the Array Diagram's aura is wrong.

But it's not far off either.

Chaos Two Instruments Killing Array!

This is from over ten thousand years ago, the Undying Mountain Forbidden Zone's Mie Dao Tianzun and the Martial Emperor, to deal with Void, carefully prepared for many years and obtained this two-person version of the Zhu Xian Sword Array.

This Killing Array's might covers the world; not to say it rivals the complete and flawless Zhu Xian Sword Array, ranking second is about right.

Because within it reappears the ultimate profundity of array formations that Lingbao Tianzun studied all his life, absolutely capable of injuring a flawless Great Emperor; back then it also gave Void no small trouble, even nearly forcing him to abandon his First Life Emperor life.

After that great battle back then, the two Killing Swords were undamaged, but the Array Diagram was destroyed by more than half in the supremely fierce Supreme showdown.

Over these years, Gu Xuan and Void repaired it.

And added their respective understanding of array formations, making this Killing Array's power advance another layer!

Now.

Gu Xuan sacrificed it out, yet temporarily did not activate its killing.

But merely used it to lock down this entire Star Sky Battlefield, to prevent a certain Supreme, in desperate straits, from escaping to a certain Life Ancient Star Domain and wantonly slaughtering.

Killing Array complete!

This means the two sides in the battlefield are now in a fight-to-the-death situation!

The Three Supremes' complexions were slightly unsightly; the Killing Array their Dao Friends once hibernated alongside in the Forbidden Zone and carefully prepared, was instead used by the enemy to deal with them.

This moment, in their hearts there faintly surged a kind of ominous premonition — this trip may hold great peril.

But after all they are all once-in-an-era invincible ones who reigned supreme!

"Hmph, so what if he faked death, forcing us to Extreme Sublimation, life or death is still unknown." Cang Xu Supreme let out a cold snort.

This is a domineering and ruthless Supreme.

Even though Self-Sealed for too long, his body emitting a kind of decayed aura, he is still incomparably overbearing, looking down on all ages.

"Forcing us to reclaim our former Dao Fruits..."

Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor also let out a light sigh, seeming unwilling, yet possessing a kind of fearless invincible conviction.

This is not a kind of blind self-confidence.

But because they indeed are so.

Since ancient times, generation after generation of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors are all like this, self-confidence invincible, otherwise they could not have reached this step!

And everyone believes, if they recover, they themselves are this Universe's absolute peak, unsurpassable!

However.

Words are like this, but the Three Supremes did not Extreme Sublimate at the first moment.

Until the last step they do not want to do so, because the price is too great; even if they win, there is a high probability they will wither away then and there, examples of those who survive are extremely few.

An inexplicable Divine Sense circulated among the three.

Boom!

The three each holding their respective Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, simultaneously attacked Void on the Spirit Coffin of the Ancient God.

Their offensive swift and fierce to the extreme, wanting to kill him with a single strike first!

Obviously.

This is the conclusion after the three's Divine Sense exchange.

Because Void obviously looks older and in worse condition than Gu Xuan, and in the previous battle, he had already suffered injuries.

Rumble!

Void Emperor Mirror brilliant, crystalline light flowing; as its mirror body flipped, a Void Ancient Array appeared, directly descending, submerging the three attackers within it.

In an instant.

Endless Dao Principles exploded, surging energy raging, the battlefield before Void fell into a boil.

This is a Void Killing Formation he laid down with great cost over a thousand years ago, preserved until now, now appearing to oppose the Three Supremes' killing!

Pop!

An invisible energy explosion appeared, shattering the Ten Thousand Daos, with even spacetime showing faint signs of collapse.

Three figures flew backward, their steps staggering, and some even had blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths — clearly they had suffered no small loss.

In contrast, on Void's side, although his hair was white and he appeared aged beyond measure, he stood steadily atop the Spirit Coffin of the Ancient God, without the slightest wavering.

Because his True Body conserved Qi and Blood and did not act, merely using this Void Ancient Array to oppose the three enemies.

And when the Three Supremes retreated to the edge of the battlefield, they still had no choice but to once again offer up their own Imperial Weapons to oppose Lingbao Tianzun's two Killing Swords, otherwise they might be injured.

That was the array diagram recovering, to prevent these three from leaving this starry sky.

Clang clang clang!

The three each controlled their weapons to clash with the Killing Swords, and they did not truly suffer injury, but their faces were ashen, very unpleasant.

The aged Ji Xu Kong also appeared to have long been prepared; clearly his Qi and Blood were dried up beyond measure, yet he was still so difficult to kill!

The other side.

Gu Xuan's face was cold, splitting off a strand of his mind to control the Chaos Two Instruments Killing Array, and he glanced once more toward the Beidou Star Domain.

From that side came several powerful Supreme Divine Senses, peering at the battle situation here, but ultimately no one else appeared.

"Kill!"

The Void Ancient Array had already been completely destroyed in the slaughter just now, yet the Three Supremes had not the slightest intention of giving up their original target.

They joined forces to attack and kill once more, intending to strike down Void first.

This is a correct choice.

For Void is indeed old and feeble; to fight he can only forcefully raise his essence blood, and this clearly cannot last long.

Boom!

A Chaos Square Vessel appeared from the sky above, carrying boundless might, descending to suppress Cang Xu Zhizun and Lei Huang!

This is Gu Xuan acting.

Although he also has white hair, his condition is much better than Void's, his Qi and Blood more vigorous, and now he intends to face two alone!

Clang!

The Chaos Square Vessel clashed once with Cang Xu Zhizun's Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade, forcing Cang Xu Zhizun back, man and blade together.

Then, Gu Xuan closed in, using his fist to hard-block Lei Huang's Dao Tribulation Golden Thunder Sword.

Amidst Immortal Light scattering in all directions, Lei Huang flew backward again, steps staggering, his face turning several shades paler.

Without Extreme Sublimation, he truly is no match for the Great Accomplishment Holy Body?!

This was the first thought that flashed through the minds of the two Supremes.

The Outside World.

Universe Supreme Races, through peerless supreme treasures, witnessed this scene and could not help but exclaim in amazement.

Even in the Other Forbidden Zones, there were ancient existences who had Self-Sealed for endless years sighing with emotion.

This generation's Great Accomplishment Holy Body is truly somewhat Defying Heaven!

The Second Life has lived to now for twenty thousand years, yet has not reached twilight years, and still possesses such divine valor and condition!

Unknown by what method he achieved Nirvana into this life, but it must be an extraordinary Great Fortune, a Great Opportunity!

Otherwise there would absolutely not be such a long Lifespan, making even Forbidden Zone Supremes wary and envious.

And the other side.

Void and Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor also clashed, the battle fierce.

"Suppress!"

Following an aged Dao Shout, divine light bloomed around Void, mysterious and unfathomable Space Dao Principles unfolding.

This moment, Space Sealed, Time froze — this is the ultimate chapter of his supreme Forbidden Secret Technique, with which he once slew the peerless Ice Emperor of all ages!

And now, it has actually reappeared!

Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor, trapped deep within, momentarily had his body stiffen, even his Primordial Spirit feeling a sense of freezing, causing great alarm in his heart.

Since ancient times, he had also encountered terrifying Forbidden Secret Techniques, but never had he been in such a predicament as this moment.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Void struck, a palm slicing forward, like the Ninth Heaven Star River condensed into substance, weighing billions of jun, intending to shatter Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor's Immortal Platform.

"Break!"

At the critical moment, Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor roared in anger, burning the essence blood within his body to break Void's Seal, even his pupils splitting open, blood flowing out.

One can see how fiercely he exerted himself!

And his natal Imperial Weapon, that Phoenix Blood Red Gold Great Cauldron with its ancient bearing, also protected its Owner, blocking Void's sure-kill palm.

Boom!

In the violent Great Collision, Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor ultimately broke free of the confinement and exchanged a palm with Void.

Although his figure shot back violently, vomiting blood, he ultimately did not suffer fatal injury.

And the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Great Cauldron also trembled violently, several not-small cracks appearing on its body — the consequence of hard-blocking Void's Imperial Palm.

Obviously.

In this kind of one-on-one clash, Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor nearly suffered a major loss.

If not for his Great Dao being special, also grasping a portion of Time Power, he absolutely would not have broken Void's Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique so easily, and would have followed in Ice Emperor's footsteps.

Although Void is aged, he is ultimately still a Current Era Great Emperor.

The might erupted in this instant surpasses Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor by no small margin.

And what follows.

Gu Xuan and Void both attack fiercely, simply not giving the Three Supremes a chance to catch their breath, each killing strike more fierce than the last!

This scene, glimpsed by the Outside World, gave everyone a feeling of shock.

Clearly both men had white hair and were aged and frail, yet they fought like men in their prime, instead pressing the Three Supremes back.

And this offensive indeed achieved results.

People discovered to their surprise.

Boom—!

In the clash of Imperial Path Laws and Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, even though the Cangxu Supreme and the Thunder Emperor unleashed their respective Forbidden Dao Secret Techniques, they were still forced to retreat repeatedly by Gu Xuan alone.

Clang clang!

Following two massive collisions, the Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade and the Dao Tribulation Golden Thunder Sword were both knocked flying by the Chaos Square Vessel, nearly shattering.

And beneath that domineering, surging fist peak, the two Supremes' palms and fingers shattered, flesh and bone turning to mud.

Incomparably precious Supreme Treasure Blood scattered across the starry sky.

This Great Accomplishment Holy Body is bizarre to an outrageous degree — clearly he is not in his old age?!

At this moment, both the Cangxu Supreme and the Thunder Emperor realized something.

Gu Xuan also clearly had white hair like snow, but his condition was clearly not that simple.

As the two Supremes retreated in disarray, they glanced at each other; shock flashed in their eyes, and they also understood something clearly.

If they do not undergo Extreme Sublimation now, they will truly be defeated!

And on the other side, the Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor, in his confrontation with the Void Great Emperor, was also clearly at a disadvantage.

A magnificent, majestic Great Void Stele like a star appeared out of thin air, descending from above to suppress and kill, knocking him flying horizontally, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

There was no more hesitation.

The Three Supremes almost simultaneously chose Extreme Sublimation!

This was their only chance; otherwise they would certainly die in defeat!

There was simply no possibility of holding back.

As for whether they could survive by devouring Emperor Blood after Extreme Sublimation, that was no longer a question they considered — they could only first get past the crisis before them.

And right at this moment.

Golden light burst from Gu Xuan's eyes, divine light brilliant around his body.

He burned the essence blood within his body, even his brow center seemed to split open, bleeding.

After paying such a price, the result was naturally that his combat power surged again by several degrees.

Boom!

He first sacrificed the Chaos Square Vessel, launching a fierce assault toward the Cangxu Supreme.

But his true attack target was actually still the Thunder Emperor, for this person had been wounded by Gu Xuan in the earlier battle, losing part of his Qi and Blood.

At this moment.

Gu Xuan unfolded the Holy Body Vision: Immortal King Descends Nine Heavens, Emperor Falls Star River...

He unleashed a divine secret technique of unparalleled power through ancient and modern times, pouring everything into a strike at the Thunder Emperor, aiming to interrupt the opponent's Extreme Sublimation.

For during a Forbidden Zone Supreme's Extreme Sublimation process, there is a barely perceptible moment of flaw.

This battle opportunity vanishes in a blink, merely an extremely brief point within time fragments; even experts of their cultivation level find it hard to seize.

But this move, he once used ten thousand years ago in a life-and-death great battle with the Undying Daoist.

That time, he also nearly succeeded.

And now Gu Xuan's combat power is slightly higher compared to that time.

And this time, the secret technique he unleashed is even more unfathomably divine, rarely seen in ten thousand ages.

"Sacrifice" Character Formula!

This is the law created by Gu Xuan over tens of thousands of years, observing the universe's reincarnation, the Great Dao's derivation, referencing many Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor Scriptures, fusing the changes of past, present, and future!

Especially in the "perished" thousand years ago, he almost truly sacrificed his self; otherwise there would not have been that desperate Dao Transformation aura sweeping the Eight Wastes of the Universe.

But in the end he succeeded, creating this secret technique that shocks immortals and moves gods.

Now using it for the first time, it shook the Eight Wastes of the Universe.

This heaven and earth seemed to be overturned, a strange power surging through the Ten Thousand Realms.

In the vast heavens, a grand sacrificial sound rang out, as if all gods and demons of the heavens were chanting scriptures, deafening, making one feel like comprehending, like kneeling down, kowtowing to Gu Xuan alone.

This is absolutely a supreme ultimate secret art that surpasses past, present, and future!

The Sacrifice Dao can sacrifice all things and all laws, even including the Past Self, Dao Self, and the True Self of the main body.

Perhaps deduced to the end, it can sacrifice the Great Dao, reaching the theoretical Supreme Highest Realm!

With an "Ah..." cry, the Thunder Emperor flew out horizontally, upper body bones snapped, blood blossoms scattering across the battlefield.

Making an Imperial Path Expert emit such a miserable scream shows how deep his injury was.

And this is far from over.
