417: Chapter 415: Battle of Purple Origin, Nine-Headed Lion Summons Ancestor

A distance of a hundred miles seemed far, but before a Cultivator, even with Restrictions in the surroundings, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

Gu Shengge moved like a bolt of lightning, closing in an instant. This startled Dao Monarch Ziyuan, whose expression shifted immediately as he quickly activated the Star Orbit Great Dao. Divine Runes shone and dao patterns scattered as hundreds of stars constructed a Giant Star Hand that came crashing down with a roar.

The Dao Divine Runes were expanding, and a binding force attached itself to Gu Shengge from afar, intending to trap him there and crush him to pieces.

Above Gu Shengge's head, the taichu dao bell vibrated, and his large hand already gripped the heaven-opening divine axe.

After the previous tempering, the edge of the heaven-opening divine axe was even sharper than before. Facing the aggressive descent of the Giant Star Hand, Gu Shengge showed no fear and did not choose to evade.

“Clang!”

The taichu dao bell tolled, and the vibrating sound waves destroyed the bindings on Gu Shengge. He soared into the air, gripping the heaven-opening divine axe with both hands and swinging it down fiercely.

Seeing this, Dao Monarch Ziyuan’s face was filled with mockery: “A mere Hedao Realm dares to challenge the Perfection Dao of the Mahayana Realm? Ridiculous!”

He dismissed Gu Shengge's actions as overestimating his own strength; beneath a Perfection Dao, all were merely ants!

As far as his eyes could see across the dim earth, a dazzling divine light suddenly burst forth.

That light seemed to sever the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth and separate the rotation of the sun and moon; within this world, there was nothing it could not break.

Under his astonished gaze, the massive Giant Star Hand was split in two from its center. The stars that constructed the hand flickered with several bursts of light beneath the giant axe.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Giant Star Hand shattered, and those stars followed suit, collapsing one after another. Violent energy surged in all directions like a tide, scattering the star fragments everywhere.

In that area, only one figure remained, with a dao bell above his head and a battle axe in his hand.

“Dao Monarch Ziyuan, do you want to try again?” Gu Shengge swung the battle axe, and a world-destroying divine light sliced through the space ahead, instantly teleporting him in front of Dao Monarch Ziyuan.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan’s expression changed drastically. The Star Orbit Great Dao hummed, instantly forming a barrier before him.

“Bang!”

The Star Orbit trembled, causing Dao Monarch Ziyuan’s pupils to shrink slightly. With such great power and terrifying energy, was that fellow Gu Shengge really just in the Hedao Realm?

While his heart was trembling, the Nine-Headed Lion ahead went berserk. It tore apart the Star Cage and, burning with scorching flames, ignited more than half of the dao patterns, shattered the Void Realm, and came charging across.

Ziyuan was startled and could no longer worry about Gu Shengge. If he didn't deal with the Nine-Headed Lion, he feared he would be dragged down here indefinitely.

Seeing that Dao Monarch Ziyuan was no longer focusing on him, Gu Shengge gave a cold smile, stowed his battle axe, and rushed beneath the Black Tower.

The Black Tower vibrated. The Dragon, Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu formed from the black Qi circling the tower roared simultaneously. The Dao barrier Gu Shengge had just released was shattered instantly, and the terrifying energy that erupted sent him flying back.

The four Vicious Beasts gave Gu Shengge no chance to breathe. They drew upon the countless phantoms on the vast earth and, with the Black Tower as the center, instantly constructed a massive Four Vicious Malign Array.

Under the guidance of the four Vicious Beasts, the black Qi intertwined with each other, actually condensing several ancient Innate Killing Array Divine Runes. The Killing Intent within had just begun to gather when it erupted with a Killing Intent as vast as the ocean, as if wanting to tear the heavens and earth apart and slaughter all living beings.

“Clang!”

The taichu dao bell vibrated, and the Great Dao of Time and Space intersected. Gu Shengge had already reconsolidated a Dao barrier around himself. With the support of the dual Daos of Space and Time, even the Killing Intent of the four Vicious Beasts could not break through the barrier.

The most ferocious True Dragon roared, and the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger followed with their own bellows, their bodies instantly merging into those Innate Killing Array Divine Runes.

The eleven Killing Array Divine Scripts vibrated, their internal Killing Intent biting cold.

Gu Shengge felt a chill run down his spine. Under this dense Killing Intent, he also felt a sense of threat; such terrifying Killing Intent was truly chilling.

The yin-yang great mill also hovered by his side, upon which Innate dao patterns flashed. The Yin and Yang Qi circulated, and a grinding sound came from within, as if it wanted to smelt all the Daos of heaven and earth inside it.

“Clang!”

The taichu dao bell rang out a warning. The eleven Killing Array Divine Scripts erupted with brilliant divine light, transforming into sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. Carrying a surging Killing Intent capable of crushing the world, they arrived in an instant.

These weapons were all transformed from the Innate Killing Array Divine Scripts, and the vast Killing Intent within them was endless.

The yin-yang great mill suddenly expanded. As the majestic mill opened and closed, it took all those divine weapons into itself.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Dull sounds of impact came from within. Gu Shengge's expression changed drastically; he could clearly perceive that the yin-yang great mill was already somewhat unable to withstand it.

With a flash of his body, he also rushed into the mill. The divine weapons transformed from the Innate killing array runes were continuously striking the mill. The force of the backlash vibrated, and even Gu Shengge’s internal organs shook along with it.

After Gu Shengge entered, those Killing Array Divine Scripts seemed to suddenly find their target. They instantly aimed at Gu Shengge below and, in the next moment, crisscrossed and slashed down abruptly.

Gu Shengge held the heaven-opening divine axe, with the manifestations of the Twelve Ancestral Gods behind him. They launched an assault simultaneously; heavenly thunder and earthly fire erupted as the Daos chimed in unison. The Innate Killing Array Divine Scripts were temporarily held back, restricted within the mill.

After half an incense stick's time of fierce combat, the divine weapons shattered, and the Killing Array Divine Scripts within reconsolidated. They vibrated within the yin-yang great mill and linked together. In the next moment, half of an Innate Killing Array Diagram condensed, its power hundreds of times stronger than before.

Gu Shengge’s face changed drastically. He quickly activated the statues of the Twelve Ancestral Gods to construct a massive defensive array around him.

“Buzz!”

The half-killing array diagram was activated, producing myriad phenomena. Worlds were shattered, heaven and earth were severed, the setting sun was like blood, and the sounds of slaughter followed. It was as if a bloody battle was taking place within the yin-yang great mill, with all living beings wailing.

The Nine-Headed Lion was heavily injured by Dao Monarch Ziyuan and crashed to the ground. It took the opportunity to rush beneath the Black Tower, directly under the yin-yang great mill, where it heard the sounds of slaughter from within.

Its nine heads suddenly began to tremble. That was a powerful Mental Energy impact; it was particularly sensitive to Mental Energy, so the impact it received was the most terrifying.

Seeing that it seemed unable to move, the pursuing Dao Monarch Ziyuan’s eyes lit up. He acted quickly, and as two purple glimmers slashed down, five of the Nine-Headed Lion’s heads were sliced off.

After the impacting Mental Energy weakened, the Nine-Headed Lion finally regained its senses. Feeling the intense pain from its neck, it slammed its massive paw onto the ground, sending the five heads flying upward.

“Boom!”

The five heads exploded, transforming into golden blood Qi.

“Ancestors, help me!”

It let out a furious roar and then began to chant an ancient incantation. Behind it, the blood Qi condensed into a space tunnel, from which a monstrous ferocity erupted along with a violent beast roar.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan, who wanted to take advantage of the Nine-Headed Lion’s heavy injuries to kill it, was blown back as soon as he rushed up. A Blood Qi Totem was seen forming above the Nine-Headed Lion.
