856: Chapter 857 Controlling the Crimson Owl

The moment that indifferent, icy voice fell, the entire solidified Chaos suddenly erupted with a terrifying frenzy of Dao laws!

Gu Changge did not move his body, yet the myriad Dao Rhymes swirling around him danced wildly, and the supreme Dao pressure of the Third Realm of the Heavenly Venerate bore down mercilessly without reservation!

Boom—!!!

The formless and imageless power of the Dao laws, far surpassing the suppression of any Physical Body or Cultivation Technique, directly locked down the entire Void Realm!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao, who had been trembling in his heart and attempting to force himself to remain calm, instantly felt his entire Meridians, dao foundation, and Divine Soul completely imprisoned!

The Void Realm beneath his feet shattered layer by layer, and the half-step Heavenly Venerate Dao Rhyme protecting his body, along with the killing Dao body condensed from tens of millions of years of bitter cultivation...

In front of Gu Changge's pressure, they were as fragile as glass, cracking inch by inch!

"No!! Impossible!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao roared, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had fought across the heavens for tens of millions of years and traversed countless desperate situations, yet never had he felt so powerless!

The difference in Realm is a chasm in the path of the Dao!

When Gu Changge was previously at the Peak of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he could still fight him to the death, but now that he had ascended to the Third Realm of the Heavenly Venerate, it was a complete dimensional suppression!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's eyes turned blood-red as he frantically burned his own Origin essence blood, wanting to break through the confinement of the Dao laws and unleash the strongest killing technique of his life.

The sky full of dark red killing Dao power swept through the Chaos, with countless killing Dao patterns that shattered the Void Realm overlapping; this was his trump card Divine Ability—the World-Extinguishing Owl Emperor Slash!

Back then, it was by relying on this strike that he had repelled an existence who had just entered the Heavenly Venerate Realm; it was his reliance for traversing the Heavenly Realm!

Yet in Gu Changge's eyes, this world-destroying strike caused not a single ripple.

Gu Changge raised his hand, lightly clenched his five fingers, and delivered a simple, straightforward palm push.

"Suppress!"

A soft shout rang out beside Heavenly King Chi Xiao's ears.

Boom!!!

The moment the palm print landed, the entire Chaos shook violently!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's World-Extinguishing Owl Emperor Slash, which exhausted his Origin, didn't even hold for a single breath before instantly shattering and annihilating!

The sky full of dark red killing Dao power was completely crushed into nothingness by the power of the Heavenly Venerate!

Before he could recover from his extreme shock and despair, Gu Changge's figure had already vanished from where he stood!

The peerless speed of the Heavenly Venerate tore through the Void Realm. Without any flashy Divine Ability, just the purest physical strength, a plain and unadorned elbow strike slammed into Heavenly King Chi Xiao's chest!

Boom!!!

An explosive sound that shook the Chaos erupted!

The Dao aura protecting Heavenly King Chi Xiao's chest shattered instantly, and the crisp sound of bones breaking was as dense as popping beans; he felt as if he had been struck by a galaxy.

His body suddenly curled into a ball, and a mouthful of scorching life-source Divine Blood sprayed out frantically!

His body flew uncontrollably, but this Dao Domain, controlled by Gu Changge, did not give him the slightest chance to escape or buffer!

Gu Changge chased after him, his five fingers forming a claw, firmly locking onto Heavenly King Chi Xiao's neck.

He took this high and mighty Peak Heavenly King expert and, like carrying a piece of trash, slammed him hard against the collapsing barrier of the Void Realm!

He raised his hand and unleashed another barrage of heavy punches!

"Bang, bang, bang—!!!"

A storm of fist imprints poured down violently!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's head vibrated, his Divine Soul felt like it was tearing apart, his Meridians broke inch by inch, and his originally majestic and vast Peak Heavenly King cultivation was beaten until it collapsed layer by layer, scattering wantonly.

The Black-Robed Man on the side had long since collapsed on the Void Realm, trembling all over, his courage to even flee having completely vanished.

He stared fixedly at that white-clad figure, his brain completely numb.

Crossing a major Realm in an instant, breaking from Heavenly Monarch Realm to the Third Realm of the Heavenly Venerate, and then backhanding and crushing a half-step Heavenly Venerate!

This was a scene that broke the common sense of the heavens and overturned the history of cultivation for all eternity!

That was Heavenly King Chi Xiao, a Peak Heavenly King, the favorite of his Lord!

He was actually being beaten wantonly like a sandbag, without any power to resist!

After a long while, Gu Changge stopped his fists, looked at the miserable Heavenly King Chi Xiao before him, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.

At this moment, Heavenly King Chi Xiao was covered in blood, his breath faint, and half his face was swollen beyond recognition.

His chest was sunken, his limbs hung limply, and there was no trace of the majesty a Peak Heavenly King expert should have.

He stared fixedly at Gu Changge, blood spilling from between his teeth, panting heavily, his voice hoarse:

"You won. Do whatever you want with me!"

Gu Changge looked at him, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He truly did not expect that this person could still have such backbone at this stage.

He examined Heavenly King Chi Xiao, a hint of scrutiny added to his gaze.

For this person to possess such combat power at the Peak Heavenly King level, he was by no means an ordinary person.

Moreover, he faintly sensed that there was a suppressed power within Heavenly King Chi Xiao's body; it was a sign of being on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

This person was only a thin line away from the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

Gu Changge suddenly withdrew his hand, looking at the blood-covered figure opposite him who still refused to fall, his tone calm:

"You are not bad."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao was stunned, clearly not expecting the other party to say something like that suddenly.

However, before Heavenly King Chi Xiao could react, he saw Gu Changge bring his index and middle fingers together, with a deep black-gold light emerging from his fingertips.

The light was not intense, yet it emitted a strange fluctuation that made the Divine Soul tremble, as if it could directly pierce through the Physical Body and penetrate deep into the Origin of the Soul.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's pupils shrank, and the hair on his body stood on end.

He instinctively wanted to retreat, but his body was pinned to the Void Realm by the Heavenly Venerate pressure, and he couldn't even lift a finger.

"You... what are you doing?!"

Gu Changge did not answer.

He pointed a finger, striking exactly between Heavenly King Chi Xiao's eyebrows.

Hum—!!!

The black-gold light instantly entered Heavenly King Chi Xiao's Sea of Consciousness, rushing straight towards his Divine Soul Origin!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's body twitched violently, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

He felt as if his Divine Soul had been fiercely gripped by an invisible giant hand, and immediately after, an incomparably domineering Mental Energy forcefully intruded into the depths of his consciousness!

"Urgh, ahhh—!!!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao let out a heart-wrenching roar, blood seeping from his seven orifices, the veins on his body bulging, as he desperately mobilized his remaining cultivation to attempt resistance.

"You actually dare to try and control me? I, Heavenly King Chi Xiao, have traversed the Heavenly Realm for tens of millions of years, defeating countless peers...?"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao roared, his eyes shifting from anger and unwillingness to ultimate calm, as the mark completely merged into his Divine Soul Origin.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's body stopped twitching, the bloodshot veins in his eyes slowly faded, and his pupils gradually focused from their scattered state.

He stood blankly in place, his eyes somewhat dazed, as if recalling something.

After a few breaths, he raised his head and looked at Gu Changge; in that gaze, there was no longer the previous hostility, anger, or unwillingness.

Replacing it was a kind of near-fanatical awe and loyalty.

He knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, his voice hoarse yet firm:

"Heavenly King Chi Xiao, greets the Master."

Gu Changge withdrew his hand and looked at him indifferently.

"Rise."

"Yes, Master."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao rose in response, standing to the side with his hands hanging down, his posture respectful and without any sign of reluctance.

The Black-Robed Man saw this scene and was scared out of his wits, his whole body turning cold.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of Heavenly King Chi Xiao being crushed, beaten, and forcibly implanted with a slave mark.

Even Heavenly King Chi Xiao, a half-step Heavenly Venerate, had no power to resist; for him, a mere Heavenly Monarch Realm cultivator, staying behind meant only death!

Flee!

Must flee!

The Black-Robed Man turned around almost instinctively, exhausting his life's cultivation, turning into a stream of light and fleeing desperately into the depths of the Chaos.

He didn't even have the courage to look back, only focusing on fleeing head-on.

However, he had barely rushed out ten thousand miles when, "Did I tell you that you could leave?"

A calm voice sounded as if it were right beside his ear.

The Black-Robed Man's scalp went numb; before he could make any reaction, he felt the surrounding Void Realm suddenly solidify.

An irresistible suction force came from behind him, his body flew backward uncontrollably, and he slammed hard in front of Gu Changge.

He raised his head, meeting Gu Changge's eyes, which were calm to the point of being terrifying.

"M-Master, spare my life! I am just a follower, I know nothing! Please, let me go!"

Gu Changge did not listen to his pleas for mercy and pointed a finger.

Another mark entered the Black-Robed Man's forehead.

The Black-Robed Man shook violently, his eyes instantly scattered, and then slowly focused again.

Gu Changge withdrew his hand, not even glancing at him, his gaze falling back onto Heavenly King Chi Xiao.

He did not speak, just stood quietly in place, digesting the information he had just read from Heavenly King Chi Xiao's memories.
