725: Chapter 726 The Death of Tun Yuan

Having finished reading all the information, Gu Changge slowly withdrew his hand, a hint of solemnity flashing in the depths of his eyes.

As expected, Emperor Tunyuan was not the only threat within the Immortal Realm.

There were still remnants in the Immortal Realm, hiding in the shadows, dormant and plotting, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

Furthermore, some had planted moles within major forces, even secretly supporting Puppet Sects and disguising themselves as local Cultivators, remaining hidden to this day.

"A lineup led by Five Great Heavenly Emperors and accompanied by over a hundred Immortal Emperors..."

It was unimaginable just how much crushing pressure his Revered Master and the others were facing.

What weighed even more heavily on his mind was that Gu Changge had also captured a faint piece of information from the depths of Tunyuan's memories: the Five Great Heavenly Emperors were not the full extent of the Black Abyss Realm's hidden power.

There seemed to be even more terrifying existences lurking in the shadows, though they had remained dormant for years, leaving behind only scattered legends.

If they truly existed, the Immortal Realm would be facing an unprecedented catastrophe.

At this thought, Gu Changge lowered his gaze to look at Tunyuan once more.

"Since you dared to invade the Immortal Realm, you should have been prepared to be killed!"

Before his voice even faded, Gu Changge's Divine Thought poured in like the Milky Way, slowly seeping into Emperor Tunyuan's forehead. It was smooth and without resistance, yet carried an absolute power that could not be defied.

"I am Emperor Tunyuan of the Black Abyss Realm, ruler of billions of subjects! You dare kill me?!"

Emperor Tunyuan's voice was hoarse and broken, his pitch-black eyes churning with extreme resentment and hatred.

His entire body trembled violently, the muscles beneath his black robes tensed like iron. His remaining Divine Soul struggled frantically within his Sea of Consciousness, every strand of it burning to erupt with the ultimate Black Abyss Evil Qi.

That was his trump card, a killing move capable of severely wounding a powerhouse of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, but in Gu Changge's eyes, all of this was merely futile.

Gu Changge's fingertip tensed slightly, and the strand of Divine Thought that had seeped into Emperor Tunyuan's forehead suddenly became as sharp as a peerless blade.

It was a sharp edge condensed from Heavenly Emperor Dao Laws, enough to easily shatter his Divine Soul.

"Impossible! Are you not a newly ascended Heavenly Emperor? How can you have such terrifying Divine Thought!"

Emperor Tunyuan's consciousness roared on the brink of collapse. His Divine Soul was already incomplete due to its dormancy, but even at his Peak, he had never seen such overbearing Divine Thought.

It wasn't just suppression; it was a total crushing. It was as if every strand of Gu Changge's Divine Thought contained the power of the entire Immortal Realm's Dao laws, easily tearing through his Divine Soul barrier.

Such an existence, in any era, would be a top-tier powerhouse capable of making ten thousand immortals bow their heads.

But today, all his sharp edges were suppressed by Gu Changge, leaving him without even a shred of room to resist.

"You are strong, but unfortunately, you met me."

Gu Changge's voice was calm and indifferent, yet carried a composure that looked down upon all living beings.

As his words fell, Emperor Tunyuan's body suddenly stiffened, and his remaining Divine Soul instantly shattered into countless points of light under the crushing force of the Divine Thought.

The hatred and resentment in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by deep disbelief.

Until the moment of his death, he could not believe that after a lifetime of dominance, he would ultimately be defeated so thoroughly.

It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that his opponent was too terrifying—so terrifying that he didn't even have the right to resist.

The Black Abyss Emperor's body slumped to the ground, his breath completely gone as he turned into a pile of black ash and dissipated into the Chaos currents.

A Heavenly Emperor who once dominated the Black Abyss and made countless worlds tremble.

Just like that, he fell silently in this remote Chaos rift, without even managing to stir a decent ripple.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the treasures Emperor Tunyuan had accumulated over his lifetime floated quietly above his palm.

He did not deal with these spoils of war immediately; instead, he looked up into the depths of the Chaos, the solemnity in his eyes not diminishing in the slightest.

Each of the Five Great Heavenly Emperors was no weaker than Emperor Tunyuan, and several were even stronger than Emperor Tunyuan at his Peak.

"Five Great Heavenly Emperors, over a hundred Immortal Emperors... the main force of the Black Abyss Realm is still somewhere in the Chaos, confronting the Immortal Realm army."

Gu Changge looked up, his gaze piercing through the shattered space toward the depths of the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, he wanted to head to the Chaos front line immediately to find traces of his Master and Taichu, and completely cut off the Black Abyss Realm's path of invasion.

But the Immortal Realm's combat power was currently withered, and there was a dearth of powerhouses; there wasn't even a single complete Immortal Emperor.

If he were to leave rashly now, the hidden Black Abyss moles within would surely take the opportunity to cause Chaos, the entire defensive line would collapse in an instant, and countless living beings would face catastrophe once again.

If the Immortal Realm was unstable and the rear was not secure, he could not rush to the front line with a peaceful mind.

"Guard the Immortal Realm well, guard all living beings..." Taichu's final message echoed in his ears.

"The plan is not yet complete; do not move lightly."

Gu Changge whispered to himself, the cold light in his eyes gradually steadying.

The priority now was not to go to the front line, but to return to Zizhu Peak and replan the strategy.

To purge the hidden Black Abyss remnants in the Immortal Realm, cultivate top-tier combatants capable of standing on their own, and set up a defensive array spanning the entire realm, turning the Immortal Realm into an impregnable fortress.

Once the rear was as solid as a rock, he would go to the front line to settle all Karma.

"Return."

He took one last look at Emperor Tunyuan's completely dissipated remains and this secret space filled with decaying Evil Qi, then flicked his sleeve.

Rumble!

Invisible Heavenly Emperor Dao Rhyme spread, and the entire secret space, along with the surrounding Chaos rift, began to collapse and annihilate silently.

Eventually, it turned into the most primitive Chaos currents, completely erasing all traces that anything had ever existed here.

Having done all this, he swept his sleeve, taking Xiao Bai into his Small World. His figure turned into a pale gold streak of light, tearing through the Chaos and vanishing into the distance.

On the way back, Gu Changge's figure shuttled through the Chaos currents, a pale gold halo rippling around him, insulating him from all violent turbulence.

His Divine Thought, however, had already spread out like a boundless mist, sweeping across the vast lands of the Immortal Realm.

In an instant, it reached the territory of Tianyuan City.

Deep within the city, two extremely well-hidden auras stirred slightly.

Xiao Hei lay prone in a patch of shadow, his Quasi-Immortal Emperor aura restrained like an abyss, and the space around him seemed to merge with his surroundings.

He quietly enveloped Xiao Ruobai and the others, ensuring everything was perfectly safe.

Not far away, Ji Mie stood silently within the Myriad Immortals Sect's stronghold, eyes slightly closed, the Dao Rhyme around him as heavy and steady as a mountain.

Just then, two Divine Thought messages dropped into their Seas of Consciousness without warning.

The Immortal Realm is shattered, the Black Abyss Realm is invading, and the Immortal Realm's Immortal Emperors have disappeared because they are actually on the front line contending with the Black Abyss Realm.

The Black Abyss Realm has planted a large number of moles in the Immortal Realm and supported Puppet forces, hiding extremely deep...

There are also multiple hidden spatial rifts connecting to the outside world, and Black Abyss remnants are still secretly plotting.

The message was brief, but every word was like a thunderclap, exploding in the Seas of Consciousness of Xiao Hei and Ji Mie.

Both their gazes tightened simultaneously, and a nearly imperceptible ripple appeared in their dormant auras.

The danger of this matter and the scale of the situation far exceeded their previous estimates.

They had originally thought that with the Immortal Realm shattered and Immortal Venerables reigning supreme, given their current cultivation, there would be few in the Immortal Realm who could oppose them.

They hadn't expected that the external tentacles had already reached deep into the marrow of the Immortal Realm, and that the shadows were surging with undercurrents and hidden killing intent.

Ji Mie slowly opened his eyes, a cold light flashing briefly in them.

Xiao Hei suddenly straightened up, the shadows around him surging violently, and his previously dormant aura suddenly became sharp.

Battle Intent churned in his golden vertical pupils, and an uncontrollable intent to kill quietly spread. His muscles and bones seemed to tighten slightly, revealing an excitement eager for battle.

He had been holding back for a long time, and now there were finally decent opponents and a real tough fight to be had; the Battle Intent all over his body was almost ready to burst out.
