159: Chapter 159: A sword into nothingness, untainted by dust!

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Gu Zhaoming's mind reeled; he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and his aged face trembled uncontrollably.

"This... this is actually... Law, and the Law of Space-Time!" Gu Zhaoming had lost his previous cold and arrogant demeanor, his lips quivering as he muttered to himself, taking a long time to utter a complete sentence.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, "How is this possible! Jiang Xuan is only in the Saint Realm, why would he possess the power of Law!" For the first time, Gu Zhaoming felt things slowly slipping out of his control, and an unbelievable astonishment exploded in his cloudy eyes.

Let alone him, a Quasi-Emperor, the Law of Space-Time was a Peak power that all Great Emperors in the world yearned for. From ancient times to the present, those who mastered such power were few and far between.

Every one of them was a peerless figure who left a profound mark in the long river of time. Even so, not a single one had mastered the power of Law while still in the Saint Realm!

And now, Jiang Xuan had actually achieved it!

Gu Zhaoming's heart began to fill with fear; the talent displayed by the opponent had thoroughly threatened his Gu Imperial Clan!

If he was like this in the Saint Realm, then once Jiang Xuan Breakthrough to Great Emperor... "Hiss!" Gu Zhaoming dared not think any further; such a result was unacceptable to the entire Imperial Clan.

In the distance, Jiang Xuan looked up at the old man, a slight smile playing on his lips, "The Gu Imperial Clan's unique power of Law?"

"Buzz!" A white Space Gate appeared before him as Jiang Xuan's words fell, emitting a dazzling light.

Gu Zhaoming's proud Law of Severing Dao was instantly swallowed.

Jiang Xuan retracted the Space Gate, his gaze sweeping over Gu Zhaoming's stiff, aged face, then continued, "In my eyes, it's nothing more than a facade."

The indifferent voice echoed around, and a sense of humiliation rose in Gu Zhaoming's heart. He forcefully suppressed the shock within him, then suddenly looked up at the several figures of Jiang Xuan in the air, endless fury rising in his cloudy eyes!

He, a dignified Quasi-Emperor of the Gu Imperial Clan, was actually looked down upon by a junior in such a manner. If he didn't slay Jiang Xuan here today, wouldn't his tens of thousands of years of Cultivation become a joke? What face would the Gu Imperial Clan have to rank at the Peak of the continent!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhaoming's aged face grew chilling, his tone filled with killing intent, "Jiang Xuan! This old man admits your unparalleled talent, but that is no reason for you to disrespect my Gu Imperial Clan!"

"Boom!"

As his voice fell, a pressure even stronger than before suddenly descended. Man Dali and Nangong Aotian below instantly spat out a mouthful of blood! Their veins bulged as they desperately tried not to kneel!

Jiang Xuan looked up at Gu Zhaoming, whose blood Qi surged, and sneered softly, "Burning Lifeblood, huh? Heh."

"Jiang Xuan!"

With a loud shout from Gu Zhaoming, his entire aura surged. His already aged face gained several more wrinkles, and his gray hair gradually turned white.

"Today, even if it means exhausting my Lifespan, this old man will slay you here and completely eliminate any future worries for my clan!"

"Hmph!"

"Nine Heavens Soul Locking Pagoda! Activate!"

Gu Zhaoming's hands constantly changed gestures, and a chilling, eerie aura, which made one's heart palpitate, permeated the surroundings.

Above his head, a dark gray nine-story pagoda slowly appeared. Each level hung with eight bronze bells, and different suppression runes were carved into the pagoda's body. Terrifying wails emanated from within the pagoda.

Gu Zhaoming smirked, and strange runes surged around him. Powerful Souls continuously flew out from the pagoda, becoming nourishment for his rapidly surging Cultivation.

"Jiang Xuan, this is the Lifebound Treasure that this old man has nurtured for tens of thousands of years, only one step away from being an Emperor Armament. It contains various powerful Souls."

"By sacrificing them, this old man's Cultivation can instantly increase severalfold. Now this old man is infinitely close to Great Emperor. So what if you have the Law of Space-Time? How much power can you, a mere Saint King Realm, exert!"

After speaking, Gu Zhaoming's eyes narrowed. With his Cultivation infinitely close to Great Emperor, he unleashed the Law of Severing Dao and simultaneously activated the Nine Heavens Soul Locking Pagoda, intending to suppress Jiang Xuan here!

Feeling the power of Law that was several times stronger than before, Jiang Xuan's expression was indifferent, his tone cold, "Beneath Space-Time, all are ants!"

"Space Cage!"

As Jiang Xuan's voice fell, he raised a finger. The space around the Law of Severing Dao and the Soul Locking Pagoda suddenly caved in, forming a transparent square cage that confined all attacks within it.

"What!"

Gu Zhaoming's hands clenched, his fingertips turning white. What kind of monster was this Jiang Xuan? He wielded the power of Space-Time so skillfully! How old was he? Even if he had started Cultivating from his mother's womb, he wouldn't be this terrifying!

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's indifferent voice was heard, "Your attacks don't even have the qualification to reach me, so how can you harm me!"

Suddenly, behind Gu Zhaoming, Jiang Xuan's voice echoed again, "The one standing before you is merely my past self."

"Whoosh!" Gu Zhaoming spun around abruptly, only to see two Jiang Xuans, one in front and one behind, looking at him with indifferent expressions.

"What's going on? Why are there two Jiang Xuans!"

However, before he could react, Jiang Xuan's voice came from all directions simultaneously, "A mere Quasi-Emperor dares to prance about before this Young Emperor, how ignorant!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaoming felt his Divine Soul begin to dislocate. The entire space seemed to start spinning, and Jiang Xuan's indifferent figures were everywhere.

He struggled to stabilize himself, but his entire body felt as if it were trapped in a quagmire, making movement incredibly difficult.

Gu Zhaoming panted desperately, and sharply said, "Jiang Xuan, what if you can trap me? I am a Quasi-Emperor; my Physical Body and Divine Soul have stepped into the half-step Emperor Dao. With your Saint power, you simply cannot kill me, hahahaha!"

A cold smile appeared on Jiang Xuan's lips, "Is that so? Your mouth is quite stubborn."

As he spoke, with a thought, the Extreme Dao Emperor Armament "Emperor Slaying Sword" instantly appeared in the Void Realm. In that instant, the entire world trembled for a moment, as if even the Heavenly Dao was fearful!

Gu Zhaoming's face changed drastically. He felt an extremely terrifying aura lock onto him, and the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

"What kind of aura is this? How can it be so terrifying, countless times more terrifying than the Emperor Armaments in my clan!" At this moment, he truly felt the threat of death.

"Damn it, release me!" Gu Zhaoming desperately tried to break free from the power of Space-Time around him. However, Jiang Xuan wielded the complete Great Dao of Space-Time. How could the power of Law released by him be broken by a mere Quasi-Emperor?

Looking at the helpless Gu Zhaoming, who barked like a dog, Jiang Xuan's face showed mockery. Now, with his strength Breakthrough to the Saint King Realm, his mastery of the Great Dao of Space-Time, though not yet at Major Achievement, had reached an inconceivable level. Even against a Great Emperor, he was confident he could escape from his grasp.

Gu Zhaoming, a Quasi-Emperor, had only comprehended a trace of the power of Law; he had not mastered a complete Great Dao. To contend with the Law of Space-Time was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Thinking of this, killing intent instantly flared in Jiang Xuan's eyes, and his cold voice echoed through the Void Realm, "It's time to send you on your way."

"Boom!" As his voice fell, Jiang Xuan pointed a finger, and silver-gray mist surged from his fingertip. With the power of an Extreme Saint King, he instantly unleashed the Emperor Slaying Sword!

"Rumble!"

A tremendous sound shattered people's eardrums, the earth began to shake violently, and mournful cries echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

The entire ground was like an earthquake, slowly extending to both sides. The entire Duo Bao City was split in half by a single sword strike, forming a bottomless abyss! Wisps of Soul-stirring killing Sword Intent emanated from within, making people dare not approach.

In the Void Realm, only Jiang Xuan stood, his white robes like snow, unstained by a speck of dust.

Looking at Gu Zhaoming, who had been cut into nothingness, Jiang Xuan's lips curled slightly, "It seems your Quasi-Emperor body isn't as stubborn as your mouth, huh?"
