168: Chapter 167 Xingmu's Reckoning

Seeing the old man's solemn expression, Ye Xiu was slightly stunned.

This old man knew Gu.

Was there a grudge, or were they old acquaintances?

With a bit of doubt, Ye Xiu asked, "Senior, do you know Gu?"

The old man's expression became even more solemn: "Gu, back then, was like me, a follower of the Lord. However, what I pursued was the method of longevity, while Gu was always following in the Lord's footsteps."

"So, does that mean Gu might not be dead?"

"I don't know. After the Lord entered the River of Time, Gu disappeared. I never expected that he once wanted to devour the Main World." The old man sighed with emotion, and his eyes, which were shining with divine light, dimmed significantly.

Ye Xiu looked at the old man and sighed slightly in his heart.

The more he learned about these secrets from endless years ago, the more terrifying he felt they were.

The place the Lord of Guixu entered back then must have been the River of Time.

What kind of person could kill him?

The Lord of Guixu back then definitely possessed strength far exceeding the [Supreme Realm], and perhaps he had even reached the Realm of the [Taboo Emperor].

After all, even Gu in his prime could not completely devour the Main World.

And when the Lord of Guixu was evolving the Main World, it was not yet his Peak period.

The Realm of [Taboo Emperor].

Perhaps the Lord of Guixu had truly reached it.

But if that were the case, then the other side of the Boundary Sea would be even more terrifying.

A being suspected to be a [Taboo Emperor] was actually killed after entering the River of Time.

This is simply unimaginable.

What kind of being could kill a [Taboo Emperor]?

Could it be the Heavenly Emperor from the legends of the Immortal Domain?

After pondering for a long time.

Ye Xiu spoke again: "Senior, do you really not plan to go out with this Junior?"

"This world is the Lord's world. Perhaps... the Lord created this world to prepare for his return."

"What do you mean?"

"In the endless Reincarnation, there will always be an identical flower that blooms. When that time comes, perhaps the Lord will be able to revive in this world again."

"..."

Ye Xiu's expression shifted uncertainly.

After the Supreme Realm experts perish, they all think of various ways to revive.

How powerful the Lord of Guixu was; perhaps the true intention of evolving this world was to prepare for his own revival.

Looking at the old man who was unwilling to say more.

He sighed softly.

He did not continue to insist on his previous idea.

Since this terrifying old man did not want to go out, there was no need for him to stay in this world any longer.

As for the Evil Intent guarding the passage.

It was a bit of a trouble.

His thoughts raced.

Ye Xiu finally decided to go out only after he had completely absorbed the power of death within the wangquan sword.

In this way.

Even if he had to fight, the chance of escaping would be higher.

"Senior, this Junior will not disturb you further. Farewell."

The old man smiled and did not ask him to stay, continuing to sit cross-legged and absorb the power of heaven and earth.

Whoosh...

A terrifying sonic boom carried a gust of wind.

Ye Xiu's speed was very fast. He soared into the air from the main Peak and, in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the mist between the mountains.

On the main Peak.

The old man watched the gradually disappearing figure.

In his eyes, shining with divine light, a trace of nostalgia appeared once again.

After a long while.

He sighed softly: "Lord, is it you..."

...

...

Main World.

Imperial Court.

Xing Mu sat high on the throne.

Wearing an imperial robe, it added a touch of unattainable nobility to her already extremely sacred aura.

Behind her was a world.

At this moment, it was fusing into her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the Fusion proceeded.

The aura on Xing Mu became increasingly powerful.

In just over ten minutes, the Fusion of both sides was completely finished.

At this moment.

The whole world became quiet.

An indescribable and terrifying aura pressured the firmament, shaking the heavens and myriad worlds.

Outside the hall.

Rosy clouds filled the sky.

Above the firmament, various auspicious signs suddenly emerged, and they descended into the Imperial City in a kneeling posture.

Hum...

The world was trembling.

The heavens and myriad worlds were roaring.

Xing Mu, with an invincible momentum, once again entered the [Supreme Realm].

From this moment on.

The era of the Imperial Court had returned.

"Long live the Star Emperor... Long live my Lord..."

Hundreds of millions of living beings in the Imperial Court knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with fervor.

With a Supreme Realm expert guarding the Imperial Court, even if the world were torn apart in the future, even if a world-destroying catastrophe truly existed.

They would no longer be afraid.

Xing Mu slowly stood up from the throne.

With a slight step, she had already arrived at the Kunlun region.

With the slight trembling of the Heavenly Blade, she directly opened the Void Realm that connected to the heavens.

Here, the divine light was brilliant.

Passages to countless great worlds, like bright stars, dotted the vast Void Realm.

Boom...

A Domain shattered.

Countless living beings turned into life essence amidst wails, and along with the Origin power of the Domain, they all gathered in Xing Mu's hands.

With every step she took, she would harvest the living beings of an entire Domain.

"Kill!"

An Immortal made a move.

Just by shouting once, he instantly shattered and turned into endless life Qi.

As time passed.

The entire Void Realm was constantly trembling.

Under such terrifying harvesting, the myriad races of the heavens instantly lost their courage.

"The Demon Race is willing to submit to the Imperial Court. Please, Star Emperor, show mercy. We are willing to commit suicide to apologize for our crimes." A sorrowful roar sounded from the Demon Realm. A dozen Immortals instantly shattered, turning into life essence and gathering in Xing Mu's hands.

"Those below Supreme are spared from death."

Xing Mu was very cold.

As her voice fell, countless great demons in the Demon Realm instantly shattered, all turning into life essence and surging out of the Domain.

The remaining hundreds of millions of the Demon Race all lay prostrate on the ground.

Not daring to look up.

The Main World had already experienced eight tidal changes.

Those remaining in this Void Realm were basically great clans with Immortals.

The number was as many as one hundred.

"The Dragon Clan respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Star Emperor." The old Dragon Emperor led a group of Immortals, kneeling in the void, waiting for Xing Mu's judgment.

"The Dragon Clan has merit and no fault; you may enter the Main World."

As the faint words fell, the Dragon Clan Domain instantly disappeared from the Void Realm and entered the Main World.

"Thank you, my Lord."

The old Dragon Emperor led the Immortals of his clan, and after performing the kneeling ritual, he followed behind Xing Mu, continuing to settle accounts with the great clans in the Void Realm.

As one Domain after another was shattered.

The life essence in Xing Mu's hands became increasingly dense.

Ten minutes later.

In this Void Realm, there were only a dozen or so Domains left without the aura of a Supreme.

These Domains were considered meritorious subjects when the Ancient Imperial Court was established. Although they stood on the wrong side in the end, as long as they committed suicide like the Demon Race.

Xing Mu still left them a glimmer of hope.

Just like that, the entire Void Realm had only the God Race Domain left that had not been settled.

When Xing Mu arrived at the entrance of the God Realm passage.

A sigh rang out in the Void Realm: "Venerable Mu, it has been many years. Can you give me some face?"

"Face? God, are you worthy?"

"The matters of the past were all problems of the Immortal Domain; why implicate the myriad races."

"This Palace has no time to bicker with you. Say what you know. If it really has nothing to do with the God Race, considering the camaraderie of fighting together back then, the God Race can be spared from death."

Xing Mu's words were very cold.

As her strength advanced again to the [Supreme Realm], in this world, for her, there was no one who could not be killed.

At the entrance of the God Race Domain.

Amidst a faint divine light, a middle-aged man appeared.

After looking at Xing Mu with a complex expression.

He slowly spoke: "Back then, someone from the Immortal Domain invaded the Main World. In order to completely resolve the hidden danger, His Majesty the Human Emperor led the Blade Master and the Great Heavenly Venerable to kill their way into the River of Time."

"After His Majesty the Human Emperor left, the Immortal Race rebelled. They were a cover for the Immortal Domain and had those who attained Immortal Ascension."

"When the Blade Master and the Great Heavenly Venerable returned heavily injured, they were besieged and killed by seven Immortals."

"My God Race did not participate in the siege of the Blade Master and the Great Heavenly Venerable. We only established ourselves independently after the collapse of the Imperial Court, becoming the leaders of the myriad races."

...

God explained a lot in one breath.

Xing Mu listened quietly without interrupting.

Until God finished speaking.

She then said coldly: "Back then, why didn't you make a move?"

"Seven Immortals; I was only just entering the Monarch Realm, how could I be their opponent?"

"So this is your reason? Trash."

Boom...

The void shattered.

God, who had the cultivation of the Monarch Realm, was struck on the forehead by Xing Mu's palm.

Puchi...

With a muffled groan.

Blood overflowed from the corner of God's mouth, and his whole body was covered in cracks: "Thank you, Venerable Mu, for showing mercy."

"Hmph, death penalty can be waived, but living punishment is unavoidable. The Immortal Race has fled. Eliminate them for this Palace as soon as possible, otherwise, your God Race should prepare to die in their place."

With a cold snort.

Xing Mu took a step and instantly disappeared into the Void Realm.
