633: Chapter 633 Perhaps it would be better to give it a new owner.
That gaze remained calm, yet it made the five Immortal Venerables feel as if their Divine Souls, dao foundations, and even all their past secrets were being thoroughly pierced, scrutinized, and judged in an instant.
They were like people stripped of all disguise, standing naked before the biting winter wind and an absolute judge.
"You all have watched quite a good show," Gu Changge spoke, his voice echoing in the deathly silent Chaos.
No one dared to respond.
Blood Pupil Demon Lord's sea of blood shrank into a tiny clump, and the light of the Void Scepter in Void Devouring Immortal Venerable's hand grew dim.
Profound Truth Master's face was deathly pale; the Bone-Corroding Old Man and his companions lowered their heads, not daring to meet those eyes.
"This seat has no interest in your grievances or your Dao," Gu Changge continued, his tone flat.
"But since you made a move, you must bear the consequences."
He raised his hand and made a phantom stroke in the air.
Three invisible forces instantly pierced the foreheads of the three Guixu Cult Immortal Venerables; they didn't even have time to scream.
Their dao foundations and Divine Souls were completely annihilated, and their bodies turned into ash that filled the sky, dissipating into the Chaos.
"The Guixu Cult has plundered the Secret Realms of the Immortal Realm for years and slaughtered the living beings of its subordinate Small Worlds; your sins are monstrous. The three of you do not deserve to live."
Immediately after, Gu Changge's gaze fell upon Blood Pupil Demon Lord, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple:
"The Blood Demon Clan Cultivates by devouring living beings and has slaughtered countless fragments of the Immortal Realm."
With a wave of his hand, he directly crushed his dao foundation and Divine Soul. Blood Pupil Demon Lord's shrill scream came to an abrupt halt as he thoroughly perished.
In just a moment, three from the Guixu Cult and one from the Blood Demon Clan—four Immortal Venerable-level experts—had all met their end, their Dao vanishing!
Only Profound Truth Master of the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect remained, shaking all over with fear, cold sweat soaking his Daoist robe.
He didn't even have the courage to look up at Gu Changge, hurriedly bowing and kneeling on the ground, his voice trembling:
"Senior, spare my life! My Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect has always upheld the Righteous Path. Although we had designs on the Taichu Ancient Road today, we have never slaughtered the innocent."
"Furthermore, we never colluded with the Myriad Immortals Sect. I beg Senior to investigate clearly and spare my life!"
Gu Changge glanced at him, his tone softening slightly, yet still carrying a bone-chilling pressure:
"Although the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect has erred, it has not committed evil. This seat will spare your life, but punishment is indispensable."
With a slight movement of his fingertip, a wisp of power coiled around Profound Truth Master's dao foundation. With a 'crack,' Profound Truth Master felt the immortal energy in his body fall into Chaos, and his cultivation plummeted from the Immortal Venerable Realm to the Early Stage of the Immortal Venerable Realm.
"Leave your personal belongings and get out!"
Profound Truth Master felt as if he had received a great amnesty, repeatedly kowtowing in thanks: "Thank you for your mercy, Senior!!"
After speaking, he hurriedly removed his storage ring and life-bound Dao Artifact, throwing them all into the void without daring to take a second look.
Scrambling to his feet, he turned into a streak of light and fled in panic, fearing Gu Changge might change his mind.
The Killing Intent within the Chaos gradually dissipated, and the void slowly calmed. Those Immortal Emperor-level forces that had been quietly observing from hundreds of thousands of miles away out of fear...
...seeing the battle conclude and the two great experts beside Gu Changge depart, finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. They began to power their warships and cautiously retreat.
The spiritual light of the warships was dim; the Cultivators inside were pale, no one daring to speak loudly, their fingertips trembling slightly.
In today's great battle, Immortal Venerables fell like grass, the vanguard of the Myriad Immortals Sect was annihilated, and Gu Changge's terrifying strength was now etched into their Divine Souls. They didn't even have the courage to stay a moment longer.
They knew well that what they had witnessed today would spread across the entire Immortal Realm via the transmission arrays within half a day, setting off a monstrous storm that would sweep through every power.
In an instant, the Chaotic Region that had been filled with Killing Intent and multi-party combat became empty.
Only a few items belonging to Profound Truth Master remained floating in the void, along with the storage treasures and the spiritual light of Magic Treasures left behind by many fallen Immortal Venerables further away.
Xiao Bai grinned and his figure flickered, appearing before the treasures. With nimble movements, he made a grasping motion with his dragon claw, and all the items left by Profound Truth Master were drawn in by an invisible force, floating between his claws.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and inhaled, creating a suction that gathered the various treasures left by the fallen Immortal Venerables in the distance.
They condensed in his palm into several light orbs of different colors, each containing boundless energy.
Having finished this, he flew before Gu Changge: "Master, everything is cleaned up! These guys were quite loaded!"
Gu Changge's gaze swept over the items; his face showed no emotion as he simply waved his hand casually.
"You keep them, either for cultivation or to take back to the Sect's treasury..."
"Alright! Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Bai responded cheerfully and unceremoniously put the things away; Ji Mie, standing to the side, nodded slightly.
Gu Changge's gaze fell upon Ji Mie and Xiao Bai.
His eyes had returned to that bottomless calm, but the coldness from witnessing evil earlier had not completely vanished.
"Ji Mie, Xiao Bai," he spoke.
"Your subordinates are here," the two bowed.
A speck of spiritual light flew from Gu Changge's forehead, split into two, and entered the foreheads of Ji Mie and Xiao Bai.
That was the clearest part of the information he had extracted and organized from Xuan Ming's memory.
A list of names, along with some definitive and appalling images of evidence of their crimes.
The list wasn't long, but every name represented a core figure of the Myriad Immortals Sect with high status and numerous crimes—they were the key pillars of that hypocritical network.
From Grand Elders who claimed to be in seclusion deducing heavenly secrets, to the Hall Masters of the Outer and Inner Halls in charge of punishment and rewards.
Even several Saints and Fairies who appeared noble and were hailed as the "future of the Righteous Path."
"The people on this list," Gu Changge's voice was flat, yet it carried an absolute will like a pronouncement of fate.
"Clear them all out, no need to hold back."
"As for the Myriad Immortals Sect, its roots have gone deep into the Immortal Realm, its branches and leaves are tangled. Rather than pulling it out by the roots and stirring up the world..."
He paused slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void to see the intricate network of power and resources within that behemoth.
"...it is better to let it change masters."
"After clearing these people out, Ji Mie, you will guard it!!!"
Ji Mie stood silently for a moment, digesting the information and orders, then bowed: "By your command."
Xiao Bai's dragon eyes gleamed as he licked his lips and smiled ferociously: "Don't worry, Master! I'll make sure these hypocrites have a very 'grand' finale!"
Gu Changge said no more, simply waving his hand gently.
Around Ji Mie, that silent ink-colored Dao Rhyme seeped out soundlessly, like the deepest night mist, slowly enveloping his and Xiao Bai's figures.
The aura of the two quickly faded and vanished, as if they had never existed.
The next moment, the ink-colored Dao Rhyme rippled slightly, and the two had disappeared from their spot.
Only now did Su Hanzhou feel the invisible pressure that had been choking his throat loosen slightly.
He gasped for air, looking at the empty Chaos before him and then at Gu Changge's back, which was as calm as ever, an unspeakable shock surging in his heart.
Yue Liuli's soul aura had stabilized significantly. Gu Changge's almost cold rationality and absolute power made her, a former Immortal Emperor, feel a deep sense of distance and a trace of awe.
Beside her, Ji Qingyi had long since frozen in place, her knuckles turning white from clenching her hands.
What she had seen today completely overturned her understanding of Gu Changge's power.
An indescribable mix of extreme shock, boundless relief, and a complex emotion so small it was almost nonexistent overwhelmed her.
Immortal Venerables fell like ants, top-tier forces bowed like dust—just what kind of world was her benefactor's world?
Gu Changge finally raised his eyes again, looking toward the deep, endless depths of the Chaos that seemed to hide all secrets and dangers.
After a moment, Gu Changge withdrew his gaze and spoke indifferently: "Let's go and see Xiao Bai and the others."
