41: Chu Feng, do you regret it?

In the distant Wasteland Small World, inside the ancestral hall.

As Gu Yan crushed the green seed and chanted the incantation, a green flame suddenly ignited on Azure Ox Great Saint's body.

The two massive ox horns on his head were like two antennas, erupting with swirling green vortexes the moment the green flame was born.

The vortexes and flames intertwined, forming a miniature Azure Ox Great Saint, which vanished instantly, using the green seed as a medium to drill into Gu Yan's body.

"What in the world is going on?!"

"This is insane! How did that Human Race Saint figure out Gu Yan's plan? Why did it suddenly get exposed for no reason?"

The aura around Azure Ox Great Saint suddenly weakened by several points, but he didn't care at the moment. He looked at the images transmitted back by the Azure Sky Mirror and was utterly bewildered!

Gu Yan's desperate move, using the Great Saint Seed, essentially declared the failure of his attempt to destroy the Demon Subduing Magic Array.

Not only was Gu Yan extremely puzzled, this Great Saint was also very confused right now.

The fundamental reason he was willing to bestow a Great Saint Seed upon Gu Yan wasn't because he admired Gu Yan so much, but because, in his judgment, Gu Yan had a very high chance of destroying the Demon Subduing Magic Array this time!

But now, not only was Gu Yan's Puppet, which had secretly infiltrated Chongxuan Pavilion, discovered in advance, but even his previous conversation with Gu Yan in the Wasteland Small World was inexplicably perceived by that Human Race Saint. This was completely illogical!

"Monarch, can you understand what's happening?"

Azure Ox Great Saint turned to look at Bai Xin'er, asking in shock.

Bai Xin'er's expression subtly darkened, appearing equally surprised, and she shook her head, saying, "I don't know."

"However… it seems this Human Race Saint is also a Great Saint."

She seemed to hint at something.

A sharp glint flashed in Azure Ox Great Saint's ox eyes: "A Great Saint? So what? The Yao Race is unrivaled among peers. Even if he is a Great Saint, we are not afraid of him."

Bai Xin'er didn't respond. Of course, she knew what was happening!

Everything had been predetermined from before Gu Yan even stepped into the Xuan Realm!

The source of his exposure was actually quite simple.

That Celestial Heart Doll was given to her by that man that day, and then she passed it to Azure Ox, who finally gave it to Gu Yan.

From the moment he obtained the Celestial Heart Doll, this Quasi-Saint-level treasure recorded Gu Yan's every word and action.

Bai Xin'er even suspected that the strategy of Gu Yan using the Celestial Heart Doll to create a diversion had already been "designed" for Gu Yan by that man, just waiting for him to step into the trap.

Sure enough, everything unfolded as she had expected.

Gu Yan was like a fat pig ready for slaughter, running into the slaughterhouse himself.

Bai Xin'er shook her head; it no longer mattered.

From the moment she accepted that man's terms of trade, Gu Yan's fate was already sealed.

She knew from the beginning that Chongxuan Pavilion's Demon Subduing Magic Array could not be destroyed.

Therefore, the focus of this operation in the Xuan Realm was not on Gu Yan at all.

She glanced at the Azure Sky Mirror, where Gu Yan, empowered by Azure Ox Great Saint's strength, had already unleashed an earth-shattering might.

Above his head, a grand sun's divine radiance rose—an imprint of a Great Saint exerting his full power.

…

Unexpectedly, the glowing white light within Bai Xin'er's body, sensing Gu Yan's current situation, did not utter a single sound.

Bai Xin'er instructed Azure Ox Great Saint, "Chongxuan Pavilion's failure means we should shift our focus elsewhere."

"Switch to the Boundless Sea."

Azure Ox Great Saint nodded. With a wave of his large hand, the scene in the mirror before him shifted, revealing a vast, shimmering ocean with several shadows emerging.

He muttered, "Let's see how much commotion this kid can cause with this bit of Great Saint power."

The failure of Chongxuan Pavilion's Demon Subduing Magic Array, though unexpected, was something they had planned for a long time, so they naturally had other contingency plans.

While Gu Yan was causing a ruckus, their other chess pieces embedded in the Xuan Realm were also taking action.

…

Chongxuan Pavilion, White Jade Immortal Platform.

Boom!

Boom!

…

Tremendous sounds reverberated, shaking the heavens.

The Immortal Mountain was on the verge of shattering, and the many ancient halls situated in Chongxuan Pavilion swayed precariously.

At this moment, above the Nine Heavens of Chongxuan Pavilion.

A figure, like a great sun, radiated endless flames!

Golden, brilliant light surrounded him on all sides, illuminating the heavens and the earth!

That boundless might incinerated the Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm and forced mountains, rivers, and all creation to bow!

"That… that's the Great Sun's Divine Radiance!"

"How could this Gu Yan possess the Great Sun's Divine Radiance?!"

The many Xuan Realm powerhouses who had come to observe the ceremony today now looked up at the Celestial Court with terror, their voices trembling in disbelief!

What did the Great Sun's Divine Radiance signify?

The emergence of a Great Saint!

But this was too absurd!

Gu Yan, who just moments ago was reviled by everyone, like a rat scurrying across the street, was not slain by Nangong Qin. Instead, after shouting some inexplicable words, his body erupted with the Great Sun's Divine Radiance!

"Run!"

"Quick, escape."

A Major Achievement King from the Li family grabbed Li Zhengyang beside him and turned to flee!

This was a Great Saint!

A Great Saint who could kill a Major Achievement King with a single thought!

Even Chu Saint would have to retreat three paces!

Regardless of how the Great Saint appeared, they were not someone they could afford to provoke.

In any case, escaping was always the right choice!

As the Li family's Major Achievement King fled, it triggered a chain reaction. Many of the prominent Xuan Realm powerhouses present today scrambled in disarray, chasing each other as they fled out of Chongxuan Pavilion.

"Where's Chu Saint?!"

"Why is Chu Saint gone? Could he have been suppressed?"

The Elders of Chongxuan Pavilion were all shocked, searching for Chu Feng's figure.

They discovered that as Gu Yan's body erupted with Great Saint might, Chu Feng, who was closest, had already been swallowed by the light.

Elder Jiang's face was grim, his clothes nearly burned away by the residual power of the great sun. He said in disbelief, "How could Gu Yan, a mere Immortal Platform, possess Great Saint power?"

"It's the Yao Race; it's the trump card given to him by the Yao Race he defected to."

"This Human Race traitor truly deserves to die!"

Ji Kong's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he stared at Gu Yan within the great sun, noticing a pair of ox horns growing from his head!

Seeing this, his face turned ashen, filled with shock and fury.

"Don't panic."

"His Great Saint power doesn't belong to him; it won't last long."

"Elder Jiang, gather the Elder group and activate the Sect Protection Array."

Nangong Qin appeared in the Celestial Court with a cold expression, calmly giving her orders.

Her Phoenix eyes, however, anxiously searched for Chu Feng's whereabouts.

"Hahahahaha!"

"No one will live today! Let's all go to the afterlife together!!!"

From the sky above, Gu Yan's long laughter resounded, his voice carrying a hint of madness.

His Immortal Platform was shattering, covered in cracks, yet he had never felt the world so beautiful.

Gu Yan had gone mad.

The power of the Yao Race Great Saint not only gave him infinite strength but also drove him to madness.

But he didn't mind going mad in the slightest!

"Chu Feng, do you regret it?"

He sneered, looking at the figure he hated to the bone, who was so close, and punched Chu Feng's figure.

The heavens and earth shook, the Great Saint's might was terrifying to the extreme, as if the entire world would be shattered by this single punch.
