480: King of Gu, Lord of the Underworld

"You are now more capable of 'protecting' those Advanced Beings."

"Under your 'protection,' even if they desperately kill each other, it is difficult for them to kill other Advanced Beings."

"After all, no Advanced Beings truly want to die; they all want to survive and become the final 'Gu King.'"

"Soon, the ninth, tenth, eleventh..."

"As more and more power is reclaimed by you, your strength has also increased several-fold."

"But you still do not stop, instead continuing to search for your own power within the River of Time."

"However, you ultimately underestimated those Advanced Beings."

"After sensing that your power is growing stronger, some of the weaker ones among them actually sacrificed themselves directly."

"At this moment, only five Advanced Beings remain, and each of them already possesses power approaching yours."

"You are powerless to stop them from killing each other."

"Helpless, you have no choice but to quickly go and search for your other powers."

"Time passes in a rush."

"When you obtain your thirtieth portion of power, the struggle among those Advanced Beings is already nearing its end."

"At this time, only three of them remain."

"An elderly man with restrained aura, a cold-faced youth, and a bloodied middle-aged man."

"At your first glance at them, you believed that the winner among them would certainly be born from the elderly man or the youth."

"But after examining them carefully, you realized that the middle-aged man's strength is far greater than that of the elderly man and the youth."

"And the injuries on his body are likely due to the constant siege by others before."

"Of course, ultimately, these things have little to do with you."

"What you need to do now is simply to keep searching for your own power."

"As time flashes by again, you find more than thirty more portions of power."

"And the Advanced Beings behind you are reduced to only the youth and that middle-aged man."

"The injuries on the middle-aged man are even more severe."

"But the aura on him reveals nothing but his terror."

"You feel you should do something."

"Because although the power of those Advanced Beings will all converge on one person, you feel in your heart that the middle-aged man will be much harder to deal with than the other Advanced Beings."

"Thinking of this, you take action again."

"You lightly flick out a Sword Qi."

"The next moment, a sharp explosive sound suddenly resounds throughout the entire world."

"The Void Realm above the River of Time suddenly collapses, and huge spatial rifts appear one after another."

"This move also makes the middle-aged man feel the threat of death."

"He wants to resist your attack, but no matter how hard he tries, he cannot shake it in the slightest."

"The Sword Qi pierces directly into his body, causing severe damage to every piece of flesh on him."

"And just at this moment, the youth also takes action."

"Under his desperate attack, the middle-aged man's aura quickly falls to the bottom, until it completely disappears."

"The youth becomes the final winner among all the Advanced Beings."

"He looks at you with a face full of excitement, but his eyes reveal nothing but fierce light."

"'Hahahaha!'"

"'I really have to thank you.'"

"'Rest assured, after you die, I, Gu Xiao, will definitely give you a grand burial!'"

"Hearing this, you do not respond."

"Because after all the Advanced Beings are reduced to only Gu Xiao, you suddenly discover the abnormality of the situation."

"You and the Heavenly Dao are both aiming for transcendence."

"Logically speaking, the power you have accumulated at this time should not be much different."

"But the feeling Gu Xiao gives you at this moment is that he is far from being your match."

"You even feel that you only need to make a slight move to instantly obliterate him!"

"And the power you have collected at this moment is only a little more than half."

"Then where did the Heavenly Dao Power go?"

"Although you still have some, even with those on you, it is absolutely impossible for Gu Xiao to be your match."

"'Could it be the Nether Lord?'"

"'But why doesn't he do it himself?'"

"You mutter to yourself in your heart, and your brows furrow even tighter."

"After pondering for a moment, you ignore Gu Xiao, and while entangling with him, you continue to search for your own power."

"As time gradually passes, you find your ninety-ninth power."

"In this memory, you are a wanderer."

"From childhood, you have punished evil and promoted good, eliminating violence and bringing peace."

"But as you grow older, you discover that the evil in this world is endless."

"With your own strength alone, it is simply not enough to change anything."

"So your life path changed."

"Although you are still doing the work of robbing the rich to help the poor, the 'poor' has been replaced by yourself."

"You begin to crazily improve your strength, just so that when you ascend to the pinnacle of the world, you can exterminate all evil."

"But when that day truly arrives, you discover that... evil seems to have become yourself."

"You are the villain in the mouths of all living beings."

"Although when you ascended to the pinnacle of the world, you tried to change the views of all living beings on you, you failed."

"In the end, you simply stopped caring about people's views and just acted as the villain they spoke of."

"This lifetime of yours is the most powerful existence besides the first lifetime."

"Not only do you possess the power to ascend to the pinnacle of the world, but your thoughts are also clear, and you act as you please."

"You are not even afraid of those other Cultivators who have ascended to the pinnacle of the world; instead, you turn around and nurture them, allowing them to have the ability to fight you."

"Of course, they all failed in the end."

"Not even one of them is a match for a single move of yours."

"After absorbing this power, your strength increases once again."

"But just as you go to search for the final power, a person appears before you."

"His appearance is three parts similar to the Heavenly Dao incarnation in your memory."

"But the temperament revealed in his gestures is completely different from the Heavenly Dao in your memory."

"You know, he must be the so-called Nether Lord."

"It is just that although his aura is very strong, it is still much weaker compared to you at this moment."

"'Fellow Daoist, how about we make a deal?'"

"'Oh?'"

"Hearing this, you are slightly stunned."

"And the next moment, the Nether Lord directly takes out a ball of light."

"You feel it slightly and discover that this is exactly the power of your first lifetime!"
