143: I'll accept your book.

Right now, I am in an invincible state with the System's enhancement.

Never mind a Magical Artifact that is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao itself.

Even if the Heavenly Dao itself truly appeared... well... for safety's sake, it would be more secure to summon Sister Xia at that time.

After all, Gu Yuan was currently a bit unsure if his invincible state could go head-to-head with the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, if it's just an ancient book... Gu Yuan chuckled, and then the slaughtering immortal sword, trapping immortal sword, and juexian sword soared into the sky, arriving beside the immortal slaying sword.

"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, rise!"

Gu Yuan wanted to see if this so-called book of heavenly judgment could withstand his Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

One must know that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was said to be unbreakable by anyone who wasn't a Saint.

Although this world was vastly different from the Primordial World.

But Gu Yuan didn't believe that a mere book could be comparable to a Primordial Saint.

Hmm!?

Heavenly Punishment's golden eyes suddenly narrowed.

He looked at the four immortal swords ahead, which emitted a terrifying aura, and felt a bit more surprised.

As a captain-level heavenly dao incarnation, He could naturally sense it.

Those four immortal swords were all immortal swords that had been bathed in the blood of gods.

They were true god-slaying swords.

"Blasphemy! To blaspheme the heavenly might so, I must not let you live!"

Along with Heavenly Punishment's shout, countless shackles instantly moved to swallow and strangle Gu Yuan.

However, how could the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation let the opponent have his way?

The four immortal swords—the immortal slaying sword, slaughtering immortal sword, trapping immortal sword, and juexian sword—spun rapidly.

Thousands of Sword Qi slashed directly at those shackles.

Those shackles, formed from the Laws of the Heavenly Dao, were actually severed instantly by the thousands of Sword Qi.

"No, impossible! This... what kind of sword formation is this!?"

Seeing this, Heavenly Punishment was stunned, even letting out such a disorganized voice for the first time ever.

Although He sensed that the four immortal swords had been bathed in divine blood.

But... those shackles formed from the Judgment Words were manifestations of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Even swords that had slain gods couldn't possibly sever them so easily.

So... was it because of the sword formation formed by those four immortal swords?

Seeing his surprised expression, Gu Yuan curled his lip and said:

"You ignorant fellow, making a fuss over just this?"

Endless rage flickered in Heavenly Punishment's golden eyes.

As a captain-level heavenly dao incarnation, when had He ever been so underestimated?

One must know that He was different from ordinary heavenly dao incarnations.

A captain-level heavenly dao incarnation directly interfaced with the Heavenly Dao.

To some extent, He could even be said to be the first person beneath the Heavenly Dao.

Normally, when patrolling the mortal world on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, He didn't need to go personally; ordinary heavenly dao incarnations would suffice.

If not for a certain special reason, Heavenly Punishment would never have deigned to step into a single world.

It was just that He hadn't expected this world to be the one where That Woman resided.

And even... now there was this person across from him.

But regardless, this person had blasphemed the heavenly might and disregarded the Heavenly Dao.

Did he truly think that just because he had That Woman's aura, I couldn't do anything to him?

Thinking of this, Heavenly Punishment felt an infinite rage burning in his heart.

He continuously drove the book of heavenly judgment, even sacrificing a portion of his own Heavenly Dao power.

However, no matter what judgment the book of heavenly judgment decreed.

Those shackles formed by the Judgment Words were all severed by the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation before they could even get close to Gu Yuan.

Facing the attacks of those endless shackles, with the enhancement of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Gu Yuan appeared extremely at ease.

He looked at the book of heavenly judgment with a playful expression.

This book... seemed quite interesting.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Heavenly Punishment, who was still driving the book of heavenly judgment, and chuckled.

Then he exchanged an item from the System Mall.

[star plucking gauntlet] (One-time use item): Legend has it that these gloves were refined from the remains of stars. Their effect was so Heaven-Defying that they suffered Heavenly Punishment and became a one-time use item.

Once worn, they allow for a 100% chance to steal a designated item from the target.

After a successful theft, the gloves are automatically destroyed!

Gu Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and then he put the [star plucking gauntlet] on his hands.

"Gu Yuan, you... eh... what are those gloves? They look so nice..."

Tian Mei had been watching Gu Yuan, her heart still somewhat worried.

However, seeing Gu Yuan pull out a pair of gloves from nowhere and put them on.

This left her very confused, though, well, those gloves did look quite nice.

Gu Yuan chuckled at Tian Mei and said:

"Tian Mei, don't blink. Next is the moment to witness a miracle."

After saying that, Gu Yuan looked at the book of heavenly judgment and said softly:

"Your book is mine now."

Eh...?

Tian Mei blinked. What did Gu Yuan mean by that...?

But in the next moment, she saw a scene that left her utterly stunned.

Gu Yuan, wearing the star plucking gauntlet, made a grasping motion toward the book of heavenly judgment from across the void.

Then... the book of heavenly judgment, which had been floating in the air and continuously writing Judgment Words.

Actually, actually appeared directly in Gu Yuan's hand!

Now, not only Tian Mei, but even Heavenly Punishment was frozen in place.

The entire world seemed to fall into a strange silence.

"So this is the book of heavenly judgment? Tsk... hey, still being unruly? Behave for your young master!"

Gu Yuan toyed with the book of heavenly judgment in his hand and said softly.

However, this book of heavenly judgment was extremely difficult to control, constantly thrashing around as if trying to escape Gu Yuan's grasp.

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't tolerate this and slapped the book of heavenly judgment directly.

Then an even more miraculous scene occurred.

After being slapped casually by Gu Yuan.

The book of heavenly judgment... actually settled down just like that, no longer moving about.

"That's more like it. Aren't you just asking for it? You won't behave unless you're hit, right?"

Gu Yuan curled his lip and said.

"You... how dare you behave like this!?"

Heavenly Punishment pointed at Gu Yuan, his finger trembling.

What was happening now was completely beyond his imagination.

How could the book of heavenly judgment be so easily snatched away by the opponent?

He had never even considered such a possibility.

To be honest, Heavenly Punishment's mind was completely blank at this moment.

Moreover... as the book of heavenly judgment that upheld the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Punishment had always been extremely respectful; this was even the first time he had summoned the book of heavenly judgment.

Yet, such a noble book of heavenly judgment.

In Gu Yuan's hands, it was actually, actually so obedient.

This made Heavenly Punishment even more bewildered.

One must know that the book of heavenly judgment, as a Magical Artifact that upheld the power of the Heavenly Dao, was in a sense the Heavenly Dao itself.

While the opponent possessed a Physique that was despised by the Heavenly Dao.

The two should have been as incompatible as fire and water.

But... looking at the book of heavenly judgment lying quietly in Gu Yuan's hand.

Heavenly Punishment was completely dumbfounded.
