158: Has a Celestial Emperor ever lived in this world?

With that thought, Gu Jixiao took a step forward and instantly appeared outside the Saint Realm.

After breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, the barriers of the Saint Realm were virtually non-existent to him; he could come and go as he pleased with just a thought.

Once he locked onto the location of the Lord of the Gui Huan, Gu Jixiao's figure flickered as he proactively rushed toward his opponent's direction.

On the other side, inside the temple.

The Karma Immortal Venerable and the Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable, bound by mysterious iron chains, were pale and their auras were incredibly weak; they were already on the verge of death.

Not far from them, the Lord of the Gui Huan sat cross-legged, floating in the air with his eyes tightly shut.

As his Realm began to loosen, an aura surpassing that of an Immortal Venerable slowly leaked out, but in the end, he still failed to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, stopping at the Peak Immortal Venerable stage.

"What a pity. Even after refining the Law of Karma and the Law of Yin and Yang, I still couldn't break through to the Realm above Immortal Venerable?"

The Lord of the Gui Huan opened his eyes, his brow furrowed and his face full of displeasure.

He had been immersed in the pleasure of becoming stronger, but it came to an abrupt halt as the Law of Karma and Law of Yin and Yang were completely refined.

This sense of loss made him incredibly angry; he desperately wanted to absorb even more Law power to break through to the Realm above Immortal Venerable.

Feeling the rapid drain of vitality within their bodies, the bound Karma Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable finally felt deep regret.

"Cough, cough, cough... You will never succeed. He will definitely stop you."

The Karma Immortal Venerable forced out his last breath to look at the Lord of the Gui Huan, speaking with rage.

The 'he' he spoke of was none other than Gu Jixiao.

At this life-or-death moment, he finally had a sudden realization: even if the Saint Realm fell into Gu Jixiao's hands, it would be much better than falling into the hands of the Lord of the Gui Huan.

After all, no matter what, Gu Jixiao was a person of the Saint Realm.

It was just a pity that this realization came too late. However, even so, he had full confidence in Gu Jixiao. After all, he was the existence who had defeated all three of them single-handedly.

But the Lord of the Gui Huan let out a sneer.

"Him? Don't worry, I'll leave you with one last breath so you can watch him meet his end!"

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the Lord of the Gui Huan; he wasn't worried about this so-called Gu Jixiao at all.

In his view, he now stood above all Immortal Venerables; an ordinary Peak Immortal Venerable simply couldn't be his match.

After completely devouring the Law of Karma and the Law of Yin and Yang, he planned to head to the Saint Realm to devour more Immortal Venerables and refine the Law powers they possessed.

As long as he refined enough Law power, he would be able to step into the Realm above Immortal Venerable!

Remembering something, a look of wariness appeared on the face of the Lord of the Gui Huan.

"As long as I can annex the Saint Realm, I can begin refining other worlds."

At the same time, Gu Jixiao had already arrived before the temple.

Sensing the temple before him, Gu Jixiao's expression turned solemn, because this was unexpectedly also an immortal emperor artifact.

"An immortal emperor artifact actually exists? Could it be that an Immortal Emperor once appeared in this world?"

Gu Jixiao thought to himself.

Because an immortal emperor artifact is tailor-made for an Immortal Emperor, logically speaking, only an Immortal Emperor could forge one.

But he wasn't too worried. Since he was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and held several immortal emperor artifacts in his hands, he didn't think much of the palace before him.

The aura he could sense within the temple did not exceed Peak Immortal Venerable, and was even slightly inferior to his own.

In other words, the Lord of the Gui Huan should not be an Immortal Emperor.

If the Lord of the Gui Huan were an Immortal Emperor, the Saint Realm would have been destroyed by him long ago.

No, that's not right.

Forget an Immortal Emperor—even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was definitely not something the Saint Realm could resist.

Thinking of this, Gu Jixiao didn't say another word and immediately sacrificed an immortal emperor artifact. With a thought, it transformed into a great bow radiating brilliant golden light.

Gu Jixiao began to draw the bow and gather power, and a brilliant arrow condensed into form.

Almost at the same time, the expression of the Lord of the Gui Huan inside the temple changed drastically.

"Not good!"
