Chapter 84: Forbidden Zone Public Enemy?

"Ah……"

Cangxu Supreme roared, attacking Gu Xuan as if heedless of his own life.

But at this moment, he still felt a great alarm in his heart, vaguely seeing his own downfall in the darkness!

He never expected that what was originally a siege certain to be won against the aged Void would end up like this!

He also never expected that the present Great Accomplishment Holy Body would actually reach this step, simply defying heaven!

Amidst the violent Return to the Ruins Blade Radiance, Gu Xuan's expression was indifferent, calmly facing it.

He was also injured.

As a supreme expert of his generation, the Thunder Emperor was no ordinary person; his dying counterattack brought several shocking blood holes to Gu Xuan's body, but he soon activated a secret art to recover.

And Gu Xuan's back also bore Cangxu Supreme's peerless blade, revealing a terrifying wound across his entire back.

Because the damaged Chaos Square Vessel did not completely block it, but was instead struck flying.

In fact.

If not for Gu Xuan deliberately evolving his supreme "Sacrifice" Dao art in this life-and-death battle, he would not have suffered such heavy injuries.

Over the past nearly twenty thousand years, his mutual discussion of the Dao and exchange with the Void was not in vain.

With his current combat power, he was enough to hard-shake two Sublimation Supremes.

"Die!"

Cangxu Supreme had already killed to madness, his hair dancing wildly, even his eyes turned red.

His whole person merged with the Extreme Dao Ancient Blade in his hand, recklessly activating the Forbidden Rule to surge toward Gu Xuan's wound on his back, even wanting to spread to his Immortal Platform.

This was already his last chance, because he could not maintain his peak for long.

Even if after this battle he ultimately had to walk toward his downfall, he would still tear apart this hateful schemer Gu Xuan.

In his heart, he hated Gu Xuan too much!

Clang!

The Chaos Square Vessel spun swiftly; though battered, with less than two-thirds remaining, it still wanted to strike Cangxu Supreme flying.

"Hahahaha……"

Cangxu Supreme laughed wildly, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood, transforming into an ancient blade formed by Dao Principles, colliding with the Chaos Square Vessel.

His aura became even more withered, yet even more mad, waving the Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade to stir within Gu Xuan's wound on his back, Great Dao Principles roaming.

Such desperate injuries, and the mad aura of a Sublimation Supreme at his end, shocked everyone!

At this moment.

Within Gu Xuan's body rose a chanting sound like low whispers.

In the vast Taiyu, a kind of mysterious rule was spreading, sweeping across the entire Star Sky Battlefield, even extending toward the Eight Wastes of the Universe, faintly possessing a momentum towering over Ten Thousand Daos.

The power of the "Sacrifice" Dao!

This wondrous Great Dao had also appeared in the previous great battle; now reappearing, it still shocked the world.

Gu Xuan, in such a dangerous situation, was still perfecting his art?!

At this moment, even the enemy Cangxu Supreme couldn't help but utter a word of arrogance.

But soon, he astonishingly discovered that the Return to the Ruins Great Dao he madly surged out was actually being sacrificed by Gu Xuan, no longer possessing such great killing power as before.

How could this be?

He had been honored in Yu Nei for over twenty thousand years, and had also hibernated for several million years, having seen too much.

Even other supremes in the Life Forbidden Zone, who had walked a Great Dao to the extreme, were at most on par with him, only able to determine superiority by Qi and Blood and combat power.

But like today, Gu Xuan could actually sacrifice the enemy's Great Dao, even sacrifice the Past Self and Dao Self, truly making Cangxu Supreme somewhat shocked.

Boom!

Infinite Divine Principles surged into the sky.

In the violent energy storm, Cangxu Supreme was sent flying backward, and the Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade in his hand also broke into several pieces.

Gu Xuan turned his body around, white hair like a waterfall; as his mana circulated, the wounds all over his body instantly recovered, his treasure body unobstructed.

Although his complexion was slightly pale, he still possessed godlike might.

Step by step he walked forward; in his eyes seemed to be endless stars flickering and vanishing, like the Hong Huang wondrous scene of the universe's initial opening and all things suddenly arising; his body was submerged by endless Chaos Qi, terrifying beyond compare.

"Cough cough…… hahaha……"

Cangxu Supreme smiled bitterly; he was already at the edge of ultimate exhaustion and destruction.

At this moment, many things flashed through his sea of consciousness.

He had once been weak, had once struggled, and had once had a growth stage not worth recalling.

But ultimately he slew all enemies, proved the Dao and was honored, worshipped by the Ten Thousand Races, protecting an era of the human world.

He even suppressed and killed a Dark Ancient Venerable that emerged from the Life Forbidden Zone to cause trouble.

He had once been confident that he was unique, able to create a divine miracle unseen for ten thousand ages, break immortality and become an immortal!

But by the old age of his second life, he ultimately could not endure anymore, self-severed with one blade, hibernated in the Life Forbidden Zone, awaiting the Immortal Path Node of later generations.

The fact is just so; once the dragon-slaying Brave Warrior, ultimately he also transformed into the evil dragon he hated most.

Watching Gu Xuan walking slowly over, he seemed to see his former self!

Back then it was also like this, step by step walking toward the Dark Supreme, to finally suppress and kill him.

At this moment, Cangxu Supreme's mood was complex, and desolate.

"Becoming an immortal……"

He sighed leisurely, his face sorrowful, with ten thousand ages of desolation and loneliness.

And the next moment, he activated his remaining Dao power, wielding the damaged Eternal Blue-Gold Ancient Blade, and for the last time went to attack and kill Gu Xuan.

As a former Prover of the Dao, he could fail, he could die.

But they must also perish amidst the glory of battle; this is the curtain call an Emperor-level expert ought to have.

Gu Xuan saw the determination in his eyes, and he did not hesitate in the slightest either.

He threw a punch forward, and boundless mighty power burst forth!

And although the Cang Xu Supreme still had some Emperor power left, he did not put up much resistance; instead, he welcomed the curtain call belonging to him.

Boom—!

His whole body self-destructed; blood rain filled the starry sky, and Imperial Bones scattered.

The Cang Xu Supreme perished!

Another Supreme finished his life; the first half glorious, the second half hideous.

Accompanied by a bleak sigh, in the final instant, only the desolation of ten thousand ages remained, and that one shocking streak of blood!

This moment.

The Eight Wastelands trembled, the Universe resonated, the Ten Thousand Daos shuddered, Heaven and Earth sensed it.

A vast Heaven and Earth phenomenon appeared; white silk-like order drifted across the sky, ethereal sounds reverberated through Heaven and Earth, an inexplicable sorrow permeated the darkness, as if seeing off a once invincible existence who had ruled beneath this starry sky.

The other end of the battlefield.

The battle between the Void Great Emperor and the Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor also reached its curtain call.

Although the Void was old and frail, his Qi and Blood stagnant, even his realm and Combat Power had declined somewhat.

But as a Two-Life Great Emperor, he had long since killed his way to illustrious fame; facing the Extreme Sublimation Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor, he obviously held the upper hand.

In fact.

If he forcibly burned his essence blood, used the Longevity Immortal Essence he had painstakingly condensed within his body, he could also exhaust two to three Supremes to death.

Of course.

Doing so would also mean welcoming his life's curtain call, never again able to achieve Nirvana for a Third Life.

And this was obviously not the result Gu Xuan and he hoped for.

Therefore there was also Gu Xuan's layout from over a thousand years ago.

Ultimately.

The Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor fought for a long time without prevailing, unable to defeat the Void.

Even though he unleashed the Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique with full force, even faintly drawing upon the power of several strands of Time Light, he was still drawn into a Space Crack by the Void using an equally supreme Secret Technique.

"Ah..."

Finally, the Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor roared, reached the extreme and perished, falling from his sublimation state.

The ten thousand zhang of red light all over his body turned entirely into darkness, and then with a "chi" sound he was struck by the divine light of the Void Emperor Mirror, shattering in the Star Universe.

The Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor perished!

Ten Thousand Dao Order manifested, giving birth to Dragon-type Ancient Beasts that faced the sky and mourned; simultaneously, order blood rain fell boundlessly, dyeing many Star Domains red, shocking the world.

This moment.

Heaven and Earth fell silent!

In the various Life Forbidden Zones of Beidou, even the Supremes fell silent!

A Supreme-level battle of this intensity had long since awakened the vast majority of Forbidden Zone Supremes, who watched this battle from beginning to end.

Only a very few remained in deep hibernation, unwilling to be disturbed by any external matter, only waiting for the Immortal Path to open in a hundred thousand years or so.

And the awakened Supremes all had complex feelings.

Rabbit dies fox grieves, things hurt for their kind.

Hibernating together in the Forbidden Zones, though strangers to each other, even harboring hostility.

But when three Dao Friends of the same cultivation level met their curtain call just like this, killed in the starry sky by Gu Xuan and the Void joining forces, it still made all the Supremes' hearts turn cold and chill, with an indescribable grief and anger!

Among them were also several Supremes who nearly emerged, but fortunately ultimately endured.

At this moment they could not help but silently gain insight: if they themselves were on the battlefield, facing Gu Xuan and the other, what would the outcome be?

More Supremes had cold light flashing in their eyes, sensing a tremendous threat!

For ten thousand ages, even though generation after generation of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors roamed the Universe, they were ultimately but a fleeting reflection, at most reigning supreme for twenty thousand years.

Only the Life Forbidden Zones endure in the world, like the abode of Supreme Gods, all spirits fear them, even Ancient Great Emperors must avoid their edge!

This is also fact.

Strong as the Di Zun of that year, he also could not do anything to the various Life Forbidden Zones, merely using Nine Turns Immortal Pills to invite the Supremes to discuss major affairs.

Endless years have passed; the Di Zun has perished.

Tyrannical as the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, not putting the Forbidden Zones in his eyes, what was the final result?

Monstrous as the Dao Yan Great Emperor, performing supreme mecha, he also did not show any disrespect to the Forbidden Zones!

Even dazzling as the Queen Mother of the West, she could only watch helplessly as her Holy Body husband died in her arms, and could not do anything to the Forbidden Zones!

This is the confidence of the Life Forbidden Zones; each one hibernates with several or even over ten Imperial Path Experts, making even Current Era Great Emperors constrained.

But this life, the situation has completely changed!

Counting them up.

From the Holy Cliff Holy Body's old age beginning, until now.

There have already been a full nine Forbidden Zone Supremes who perished!

Killed by Gu Xuan and the Void, either joining forces or one by one!

Among them were the Undying Taoist, Ice Emperor, later the Mie Dao Tianzun, Wu Emperor, Tai Yuan Supreme, and Zhu Yan Ancient Emperor.

And this time the Cang Xu Supreme, Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor, and Lei Huang.

Such a battle record can be called terrifying, and cannot but make the Supremes' hearts turn cold with fear!

For the Forbidden Zones, since ancient times, there has never been such a catastrophe.

For the Supremes, it has always been they who stand high above, regarding all living beings as ants, the outside world as fish and meat, taking whatever they desire.

How could they have ever imagined that they would actually be killed, nine Supremes in succession!

"Holy Body……"

From within the Busianshan Forbidden Zone came the low roar of a Supreme, furious to the extreme, filled with teeth-gritting hatred.

Because of Gu Xuan and Void these years, the Supremes within Busianshan have withered most severely, a full five of them.

Not to mention Bu Si Dao Ren, Ice Emperor, Mie Dao Tianzun, Martial Emperor, Cang Xu Supreme, and Candle Dragon Ancient Emperor all came from Busianshan.

Of course.

This was also an unavoidable matter.

Because after they took control of Busianshan, they all had little lifespan left, urgently needing to emerge and replenish their life essence.

Unlike Taichu Ancient Mine, where the majority of hibernating Ancient Emperors are not only numerous but also have ample lifespan, full of confidence.

"Setting up a scheme to ambush and kill…… truly deserve to die!"

Within Reincarnation Sea and Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone, there were also Supremes gritting their teeth, because these two great Forbidden Zones also suffered heavy losses.

Although those who died were merely Dao Friends, this is an ominous signal, causing the strength of the entire Forbidden Zone to be greatly affected, perhaps bringing severe consequences at some future moment!

This moment.

The Six Great Life Forbidden Zones of Beidou all seemed to have reached a consensus, already regarding Gu Xuan and Void as unparalleled great enemies!

This is a matter of stance, unrelated to any principles of good and evil, right and wrong.

As Forbidden Zone Supremes, for the sake of becoming Immortals, since they have already chosen Self-Severing, they inevitably must one day in the future eat people, replenish Life Essence!

And people like Gu Xuan, Void, have already blocked their path!

The many Supremes could not help but ponder in their hearts: if a person like Gu Xuan does not die, when the day comes in the future that they too must emerge, what will happen.

This is a seed, already buried in the hearts of the various Forbidden Zone Supremes.

……

Outside World.

The Universe's various Supreme Races trembled, still in a state of panic.

Because the great battle at this Star Sky Battlefield was too overbearingly fierce, the laws too violent, no Source Heaven Array could clearly see the battle's outcome.

The turmoil fell the curtain, the Supreme Extreme Sublimation battle, no one knows what happened in the end, only seeing light spread, that piece of Star Sky Great Destruction!

People merely roughly perceived that Supremes had fallen, desperate Dao Transformation aura permeating the Cosmos.

Only a very few great powers, through ancient arrays, saw some vague light and shadow, heard the desolate long howl and sad song!

Did the Great Accomplishment Holy Body and Void Great Emperor win?

After all, they have both entered old age, facing three Supremes in Extreme Sublimation, do they have a chance of victory?

Unknown how many people prayed, hoping for this result, otherwise the world will welcome an incomparably terrifying bloodbath!

And finally.

After all the energy storms subsided, this Star Sky Battlefield finally welcomed calm.

And finally, cultivators vaguely saw that desolate scene, although somewhat hazy, just some light and shadow, but still saw clearly many things.

There, countless star fragments, blood dyed the Universe red.

Everywhere is Supreme blood!

After they self-destructed, their bodies might turn as large as galaxies, but now there is not a single intact piece of bone or flesh, a stretch of bright red, incomparably desperate.

And among them, two figures sat cross-legged, both white-haired, yet possessing boundless domineering aura!

Great Accomplishment Holy Body and Void Great Emperor are not dead!

They won, currently healing injuries right now!

This scene, like a heaven-shocking thunderclap, was learned by all major powers, causing countless cultivators within them to boil with excitement.

Afterwards, this news spread throughout the Universe in the following time.

World Shocking!

Everyone was both shocked and delighted, yet for a moment unable to describe it, this battle achievement truly shocks the world, somewhat illusory.

People cheered, yet with some restraint, because they dared not confirm whether the Dark Turmoil had truly ended, perceiving a kind of mysterious and shock-angry atmosphere.

Within the Star Sky Battlefield.

A stretch of brokenness, everywhere Star Ruins turned to dust, filled with Supreme blood and bone, and their Weapon Fragments, incomparably desperate.

Gu Xuan and Void looked at each other, neither spoke, instead first sitting cross-legged to heal injuries.

Having reached their current tacit understanding, a single glance knew the other's intention.

Obviously.

Although Void is indeed now old and body declining, not as sharp as Gu Xuan.

He also slightly perceived something, the atmosphere under this Xing Kong Below remains somewhat mysterious.
