724: Chapter 725 The Devouring Abyss Emperor

After his initial probe was easily blocked by Gu Changge, he didn't intend to confront Gu Changge at all. He only wanted to use the World-Devouring Beasts' attack to delay for a moment and seize the opportunity to break out and escape.

His speed was so fast it nearly transcended the limits of space, and a hint of post-calamity ferocity and ruthlessness had already appeared on his face.

As long as he could flee into the chaotic Chaos currents on the periphery, he was confident he could shake off any pursuit!

"Thinking of running?" A trace of a sneer flashed in the depths of Gu Changge's eyes. His expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even look back at the three World-Devouring Beasts.

He simply raised his hand, and a faint golden Heavenly Emperor Dao Rhyme instantly spread out, shattering the incoming talons of Evil Qi.

Without slowing down, it transformed into an invisible light barrier, accurately blocking the path of the Black-Robed Man.

At the same time, another force flicked from his fingertip, shooting straight toward the three World-Devouring Beasts.

Bang—

The Black-Robed Man slammed headfirst into the light barrier as if hitting a ten-thousand-fathom divine mountain. His entire body shook violently, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out.

His figure was violently repelled, crashing heavily to the ground. His already heavily injured body suffered even more severe wounds.

Meanwhile, thud—thud—thud—

Three muffled sounds rang out in succession. Before the three World-Devouring Beasts could even let out a scream, the Evil Qi surrounding them instantly dissipated. Their bodies, as if drained of all power, collapsed heavily to the ground, their life force instantly severed.

The world origin power within them was forcibly extracted by Gu Changge's force, turning into wisps of pure energy that dissipated into the air.

"Impossible, how can you be this strong?"

The Black-Robed Man roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with indignation and fear.

His best-laid schemes were so vulnerable in the eyes of his opponent.

With one step, Gu Changge arrived before the man, close enough to see his own calm reflection in the other's pupils.

"I haven't finished my questions yet, how can you leave?"

Gu Changge's tone was still indifferent, yet it made the Black-Robed Man's Soul tremble.

"You... who exactly are you?!"

The Black-Robed Man's hoarse voice barely squeezed out of his throat, every word carrying unspeakable fear and trembling.

Black blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth as he stared fixedly at Gu Changge, his eyes full of extreme horror and incomprehension.

He couldn't understand when the Immortal Realm had produced such a terrifying existence that drove one to despair!

Gu Changge walked slowly, approaching the Black-Robed Man step by step. With every step he took, the Void Realm beneath his feet trembled slightly.

An even more majestic Heavenly Emperor pressure swept out, firmly suppressing the Black-Robed Man.

"I said, who I am doesn't matter."

He stopped and looked down at the wretched Black-Robed Man, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"If you won't speak, it's fine. I'll see for myself."

He knew that this remnant Emperor hid too many secrets concerning Senior Taichu, the extra-territorial passage, and the crisis of the Immortal Realm. Only through Soul-searching could they be revealed one by one.

The last sentence was light, yet it carried a fatal threat. The Black-Robed Man's whole body shuddered as he instantly realized what the other meant by 'see for myself'—Soul Search!

Once Soul-searched, all the secrets in his mind would be laid bare, and his own Divine Soul would be annihilated, leaving him without even a chance for Reincarnation.

A flash of ruthlessness and struggle appeared in his eyes as he tried to desperately detonate his Divine Soul to completely destroy the secrets in his mind.

But Gu Changge had already seen through his thoughts. That warm Chaos luster on his fingertip suddenly brightened, and an invisible force instantly imprisoned his Divine Soul.

He couldn't even muster a single thought of self-detonation, forced to watch helplessly as that wisp of faint golden Divine Thought entered his brow.

"No—!"

The Black-Robed Man let out a shrill Soul-scream, his entire body twitching violently, his face covered in extreme agony.

Cold sweat mixed with black blood slid down his forehead, his eyes quickly glazing over as the Evil Qi around him rapidly dissipated.

His consciousness was like a leaf swept by a gale; countless buried memories were forcibly extracted and presented without reservation before Gu Changge's eyes.

First to surge in were endless darkness, Chaos, and bone-chilling cold—the aura of the Black Abyss Realm rooted in the Soul.

Next, countless shattered images, chaotic roars, and twisted Law insights, like a sandstorm whipped up by a gale, intertwined, collided, and restructured.

In Gu Changge's vast Sea of Consciousness, which was capable of carrying the eternal stars, these fragments were quickly categorized and analyzed, eventually outlining an epic scroll that spanned endless time and space, shocking the mind.

A world far vaster and more ancient than the Immortal Realm, where the sky was forever as dark as iron and the earth flowed with rivers of foul energy—the Black Abyss Realm.

Countless powerful beings, Sects, and Divine Dynasties fought, devoured, and plundered each other within it.

Several auras, as vast as abysses and as violent as hells, no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor Realm, stood like the cores of the world.

And this person was one of those Heavenly Emperors, Emperor Tunyuan.

Their will was the horn of war, and their forces attacked each other, dragging the entire world into never-ending internal strife.

The world origin was wailing, the Great Dao was withering, and the entire Black Abyss Realm was sliding down an irreversible path of decay toward the abyss.

Plundering the outside to sustain themselves became the rare and final consensus among the several mutually hostile Heavenly Emperor forces.

The scene shifted.

In the endless, cold Chaos, a speck of brilliant light, full of vibrant life and pure Dao Rhyme, was captured by the experts of the Black Abyss Realm.

It was the Immortal Realm, which had recently shattered and whose world boundaries were riddled with holes!

Like a traveler dying in the desert seeing an oasis.

Mad greed and the desire for survival instantly ignited the upper echelons of the entire Black Abyss Realm.

In order to plunder the Immortal Spirit Origin of the Immortal Realm and occupy this remnant world, the five great Heavenly Emperor-level forces of the Black Abyss Realm temporarily set aside their grievances.

They formed a massive invasion army led personally by the five Heavenly Emperors, with over a hundred Immortal Emperor Realm experts assembled under them.

There were also countless Immortal Venerable and Immortal Emperor Cultivators, sailing toward the Immortal Realm in a grand procession.

However, before the Black Abyss army could approach the Immortal Realm, in the deep Chaos near the shattered borders of the Immortal Realm, two figures stood like eternal boulders, blocking the path of the billion-strong enemy army!

One figure, in fluttering green robes, had Purple Bamboo phantoms surrounding him, propping up a patch of Chaos. His Dao Rhyme was peaceful yet unfathomably deep—it was Revered Master Daoist Zizhu!

The other figure, with brilliant divine light like the first ray of dawn at the beginning of creation, had a majestic and upright aura. Carrying the intent of protection and creation, it was none other than the Guardian of the Realm—Taichu!

The founder of the ancient Taichu Divine Palace!

"This path is closed!"

Two resolute Dao voices, like world-opening thunder, exploded on the Chaos front line.

With just the strength of two people, they took the initiative to move forward and clash head-on with the vanguard elites of the Black Abyss Realm coalition!

A terrifying battle of the Heavenly Emperor level instantly erupted. Laws shattered, Chaos was remade, and countless stars were turned to dust!

It was this sudden and extremely tragic extra-territorial interception that bought the most precious reaction time for the shattered Immortal Realm and firmly pinned the main force of the Black Abyss Realm army in the Chaos far from the Immortal Realm.

Although Daoist Zizhu and Taichu were peerlessly brave, the Black Abyss Realm coalition was too numerous and varied.

Many experts and stragglers still used the countless spatial rifts created by the shattering of the Immortal Realm to bypass the main battlefield and forcibly break into the heart of the Immortal Realm.

This was the source of the vaguely recorded foreign enemy upheavals that suddenly broke out across the Immortal Realm at the end of the ancient era.

And Emperor Tunyuan, after being heavily wounded by a Purple Bamboo Sword Qi from Daoist Zizhu on the front battlefield, felt indignant.

Relying on his eerie control over space, he actually bypassed the main battlefield and found an extremely hidden spatial rift in the Immortal Realm caused by the ancient shattering.

He intended to forcibly tear it open and stabilize it, creating a private passage for a steady stream of armies to invade.

After Heavenly Emperor Taichu sensed the anomaly, he resolutely returned to the Immortal Realm, while Daoist Zizhu split into several Clones to firmly entangle the invasion army.

Taichu and Tunyuan engaged in a fierce duel at that rift.

The battle almost completely reduced that part of the world to a void of return, eventually forming the Ancient Battlefield filled with violent destructive power that Gu Changge had seen.

Finally, Taichu burned part of his Origin to launch a supreme strike, nearly shattering Emperor Tunyuan's dao foundation. However, he was also struck by Tunyuan's deathbed counterattack and was heavily wounded.

Tunyuan used a secret technique to tear a tiny rift and narrowly escaped with his life, but he completely lost his combat power and ended up here, lingering on his last breath.

Waiting for the Black Abyss Realm army to break through the obstruction of Daoist Zizhu and Taichu to invade the Immortal Realm once again.
