232: Sword Qi cuts the stars and kills Zhuge

The Zhuge Family’s strength was already weaker than the Supreme Sacred Ground. Now, with Yaochi, Jun Family, Supreme, and the Eastern Continent Hidden Family gathered, how could the Zhuge Family possibly resist?

With just one encounter, ninety percent of the Zhuge Family members were casualties. Only Zhuge Qingyun, a few old fellows, the three Soul Transformation offerings, and some fortunate individuals were still alive.

Watching the Zhuge Family members continuously fall, Zhuge Qingyun, hiding inside the Family Shrine, had bloodshot eyes:

“Gu Liang, you are going too far!”

Gu Liangyuan, filled with killing intent, directly threw Mo Tan Kill towards the Ding Hou Shrine.

Bang!

Gu Liangyuan’s full-force throw could have shattered even mountains.

But the Ding Hou Shrine merely trembled three times, remaining completely unharmed.

Although surprised, Gu Liangyuan’s words were unsparing:

“Those who kill, will be killed!”

“Kill!”

With that, he stomped his foot fiercely. With only the strength of his Physical Body, Gu Liangyuan instantly created a hundred-zhang-deep pit in the ground beneath him. The distant mountains also vibrated, causing countless gravel to roll down.

Using this recoil force, Gu Liangyuan flew out.

Mo Tan Kill had returned to his hand at some unknown point. His entire body straightened, like an arrow released from a bowstring, with the halberd as the arrowhead and his body as the arrow shaft, whistling as it stabbed towards the Ding Hou Shrine!

Ding!

A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed between heaven and earth. Gu Liangyuan’s tiger’s mouth went numb from the recoil force.

With the halberd tip as the center, the aftermath even created spatial cracks.

But looking at the Ding Hou Shrine, it only trembled more violently, yet it did not break.

It was during Gu Liangyuan’s two attacks that all the Zhuge Family members outside the Ding Hou Shrine had died.

The three Soul Transformation offerings were also killed by the Yaochi Six Elders.

Looking at Ding Hou Mountain at this moment, the Dragon-like mountain range was already riddled with holes, with spatial cracks everywhere caused by the aftermath of the battle.

Gusts of wind howled, and rocks flew chaotically.

A group of Elders led their Disciples, driving flying boats, to clear the battlefield.

Those who needed to be cremated were cremated, and those who needed to be searched for treasures were searched.

The Jun Family Cultivator holding the Ten Thousand Soul Banner followed behind everyone, occasionally shaking the banner in his hand, collecting the Divine Souls that had fortunately escaped into the banner, ensuring no one survived.

The Soul Transformation and Mighty Cultivators who had finished the battle tacitly surrounded the Ding Hou Shrine.

Looking at the faint glow on the Ding Hou Shrine, everyone, without discussion, unleashed their Divine Abilities and attacked the Ding Hou Shrine.

Yang Yijia was seen controlling a mountain-like green ox, heavily stomping towards the shrine!

Boom!

With one stomp, the earth trembled violently!

The surrounding ground sank by hundreds of zhang.

But although the Ding Hou Shrine also sank with the ground, it remained completely intact.

“I’ll do it!”

A Jun Family offering shouted loudly, and the Sky-Swallowing Python opened its massive mouth and lunged towards the Ding Hou Shrine!

But just as the Sky-Swallowing Python was about to bite the Ding Hou Shrine, it sensed a great terror!

It immediately stopped its movement and frantically retreated.

“You beast, you’re embarrassing me too much, old man!” The Jun Family offering, seeing this situation, was very displeased and reprimanded the Sky-Swallowing Python.

Just as he was reprimanding it, Zhuge Qingyun led the last few Family Elders out of the Ding Hou Shrine.

However, everyone on the scene did not even look at Zhuge Qingyun, but instead looked at a blank-eyed Daoist in front of Zhuge Qingyun.

Yang Yijia pondered, “This is…”

Wu Zheng’s expression was solemn: “Immortal Cicada Slough!”

Gu Liangyuan also cast a detection spell on this Daoist at this moment:

Name: Immortal Cicada Slough

Origin: There are dozens of ways to achieve Immortal Ascension in the world, one of which is called Corpse Dissolution.

After Corpse Dissolution Immortal Ascension, the Physical Body is discarded, the Primordial Spirit ascends to the Heavens, and a new Immortal body is re-formed.

The Physical Body left in the mortal realm is the Immortal Cicada Slough.

This in front of us is the Cicada Slough of the Zhuge Family’s ancestor. After nearly ten thousand years of tempering by the Zhuge Family and nurturing with earth vein Qi, it has become a Puppet, capable of displaying strength not inferior to a Wind Calamity Realm Body Cultivator.

Watching his descendants die one by one in front of him, Zhuge Qingyun at this moment appeared somewhat deranged.

His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot!

He looked around, finally fixing his gaze on Gu Liangyuan:

“Die! All of you die!”

“Do you think only your Supreme Sacred Ground has trump cards?”

“My Zhuge Family is not to be trifled with either!”

“The strength of one Family in exchange for your three forces, it’s worth it!”

With that, Zhuge Qingyun looked around again.

Seeing the drastic changes in the expressions of Yang Jiazhi, Lü Qingmei, and others, he felt delighted and laughed heartily!

However, upon seeing Gu Liangyuan’s still calm face, his laughter gradually faded.

For some reason, an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

So he used words to compensate for the unease in his heart:

“Gu Liangyuan, stop pretending to be calm!”

“I want you to accompany my descendants…”

Before the word “bury” could be uttered, the Tai Xuan Sword suddenly appeared in Gu Liangyuan’s hand.

Pseudo-Immortal Strike was directly unleashed, and endless magical power instantly surged into the Tai Xuan Sword.

Gu Liangyuan exerted force, and the Tai Xuan Sword was unsheathed!

Swish!

A white light flashed between heaven and earth. Even the Soul Transformation Mighty Cultivators could not bear the exceptionally dazzling light, either turning their heads away or subconsciously closing their eyes.

The moment the white light flashed, the entire world fell silent.

Clouds stopped.

Water ceased.

The eight winds were still.

Time, at this moment, seemed to have paused.

It was unknown how long had passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps a very long time. The white light dissipated, and sounds resumed.

Everyone looked closely, only to see Gu Liangyuan still in the motion of swinging his sword.

In front of him, there was a chasm a hundred zhang wide, bottomless, and of unknown length.

Within the chasm, countless subtle Sword Qi still permeated.

Clearly, this was caused by Gu Liangyuan’s sword strike just now.

The Eight Desolations Imprisoning Demon Array was broken as a result.

The Immortal Cicada Slough, before it even had a chance to attack, turned into dust.

Zhuge Qingyun and the others were dead beyond dead.

Above the Nine Heavens, a massive spatial crack appeared, like a milky way hanging upside down, splitting the sky in two!

Just as everyone was filled with awe, two points of red light suddenly appeared in the sky.

These red lights rapidly fell towards the ground, turning out to be two meteors.

As the meteors drew closer, everyone finally saw clearly that these were not two meteors, but originally one, only it had been cut into two halves, split in two.

Sword Qi cutting through stars!

Everyone simultaneously looked at the young man who was still in the sword-drawing posture!

This sword… could it truly be wielded by human power?

Perhaps even an Immortal could do no more!

Previously, everyone had always thought that Gu Liangyuan’s rapid increase in strength was due to his excellent talent.

But now, another thought suddenly surfaced in everyone’s minds.

Could it be that Gu Liangyuan is a Mighty Cultivator who descended to the Lower Realm and has been hiding his cultivation all along?

But he did indeed undergo the Soul Transformation Tribulation.

Could it be…

He has the ability to toy with the Heavenly Dao!

Did he intentionally undergo the Tribulation for us to see?

Therefore, his endless methods could also be explained.

The more everyone thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

No matter how they thought about it, at this moment, Gu Liangyuan’s image in their hearts began to rise again!

Gu Liangyuan also recovered from the shock of this strike, watching the meteors about to fall nearby.

He calculated the time in his mind; eleven minutes had already passed from the planned fifteen minutes.

Gu Liangyuan took a step, unleashing Instantaneous Movement, and directly arrived at the lowest point of the abyss in front of him.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, he emerged, carrying the Ding Hou Shrine.

After taking a treasure box from inside the Ding Hou Shrine and tossing it to Yang Qiong, Gu Liangyuan put away the Ding Hou Shrine:

“This is most of the Zhuge Family’s treasures; a small portion is still within the Divine Capital, which can only benefit the Mo Emperor.”

“Delays lead to complications. Retreat.”

Listening to Gu Liangyuan’s words, everyone came back to their senses.

Although shocked that the Ding Hou Shrine had not broken under such an earth-shattering blow, they also knew that now was not the time to dwell on it and quickly organized the Disciples to retreat.

As for Gu Liangyuan’s action of putting away the Ding Hou Shrine, no one said anything more.
