264: The strongest mysterious god, indeed lived up to his reputation

On the void arena, Cheng Yang sat with his eyes closed, his expression calm, yet his heart was far from it.

Sensing more and more heaven's chosen gathering outside the arena's formation, Cheng Yang could barely suppress his inner excitement.

Gu Qing had astonished the Immortal Realm, and he, by killing Gu Qing—though it might be taking advantage of the situation—would achieve eternal fame.

He would also surely gain the attention of the Grand Elder, receive a tilt of resources from the Star Dao Sect, perhaps even become a Sequence True Disciple, and have the chance to attain the Profound God Realm.

"Damn it, that shameless scoundrel got there first."

Many realized the benefits of slaying or defeating Gu Qing, and immediately regretted their missed opportunity.

"They're here."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Gu Qing and Chu Yao walked side by side, stepping on myriad starlight, bathed in mysterious light, as if controlling the gods and devils of heaven and earth.

Gu Qing's expression was grim; he had been so engrossed in flirting with Jiang Yu and her disciple that he had forgotten to return, only to be suddenly challenged.

It seemed he still hadn't killed enough people.

"So strong."

An unparalleled sense of oppression swept over them, causing everyone's pupils to contract and a strange fear to rise within them.

Gu Qing's aura was too powerful, at least dozens of times stronger than when he first joined the Star Dao Sect.

Even the aura he naturally exuded carried a transcendent quality, a harmony between man and nature, as if he commanded the laws of heaven and earth.

"I wonder what kind of fortuitous encounter was at the peak of the Starlight Avenue, to be obtained by this ant. It's truly infuriating."

The elders of the Star Dao Sect harbored deep resentment in their hearts.

They were certain that at the peak of the Starlight Avenue lay a heaven-shaking great fortune left by the Starry Sacred Mother, possibly even an opportunity for someone to attain the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Even if it couldn't lead to the Immortal Emperor Realm, attaining the Immortal King Realm would definitely be no problem.

It wasn't that they hadn't considered forcefully ascending to the peak and taking the fortune.

However, this was a magical treasure left by the great god of creation, the Starry Sacred Mother, protected by supreme divine abilities.

Forcibly ascending would only result in being mercilessly annihilated. Once, an Immortal King, disbelieving, forcefully ascended, only to be obliterated into nothingness by a beam of starlight.

This incident shocked the entire Immortal Realm; even a powerful Immortal King was no match for a divine ability left by the Starry Sacred Mother billions of years ago.

This also made the Immortal Realm fully realize how terrifying the foundations of sects passed down from ancient times truly were.

The Star Dao Sect also completely abandoned the idea of ascending to the peak and taking the fortune.

Over billions of years, only two people had reached the peak: one was a woman who had already perished.

The other was Gu Qing, who was about to perish.

This was a blessing left by the Starry Sacred Mother for them, yet it was obtained by two ants. How could they not hate?

"Grand Elder, tell your disciple that before he kills him, he must search his soul to find out what kind of fortune lies on the Starlight Avenue."

Sect Master Jing Hong transmitted his voice coldly.

Looking at Gu Qing, Jing Hong felt endless regret.

Such a heaven's chosen, yet born in the Lower Realm; their struggle with the Lower Realm's orthodoxy was a battle of orthodoxies, a matter of life or death.

The more powerful Gu Qing was, the more they wanted to eliminate him quickly, with no room for reconciliation.

The Grand Elder nodded slightly; he knew what to do without Jing Hong's reminder.

They were determined to obtain the fortune left by the Starry Sacred Mother.

"You're finally here. I thought you were going to be a coward."

The moment Cheng Yang opened his eyes, two peerless sword lights flashed, seemingly capable of piercing through space.

He slowly stood up, and a violent killing intent swept over, overwhelming and chilling.

It had to be said, Cheng Yang had some tricks up his sleeve.

The killing intent he unleashed alone could annihilate those in the Divine Fire Realm.

Even cultivators below Heavenly God Realm seventh-level would feel a chill.

Seeing Gu Qing fearless, Cheng Yang sneered, "Not bad. If you were given more time, perhaps I truly wouldn't be your match. What a pity, you're too arrogant."

"I've killed countless heaven's chosen like you. Their confidence before death and their wails before dying are truly interesting."

"Oh, and you don't know yet, do you? I crushed the Heavenly God Realm ninth-level ant from your Archaic Starfield lineage with my bare hands. The painful wails, tsk tsk... Hahaha."

"Put away your petty schemes."

Gu Qing's expression was unperturbed; he saw through Cheng Yang's plan at a glance.

Cheng Yang's killing intent, coupled with verbal threats, might indeed frighten someone with an unstable mind, causing them to lose their composure and be unable to exert their full strength.

However, his Dao Heart was firm, his mind as still as water. Cheng Yang's threats were simply ridiculous.

Moreover, in his eyes, Cheng Yang was merely an ant he could kill with a flick of his hand.

"You don't believe me? Very well, I will crush your Dao Heart little by little."

Cheng Yang sneered disdainfully, yet his actions dared not be careless in the slightest, immediately unleashing his trump card divine ability.

Seven Stars Sword Formation.

This was a peerless great divine ability, even in the Immortal Realm, it was a top-tier great divine ability.

After all, it could conjure six clones whose strength was nearly identical to the main body, forming a sword formation that doubled its power.

Such a top-tier divine ability was rarely matched by others in the Immortal Realm.

Cheng Yang attacked with his ultimate move from the start, precisely because he felt danger from Gu Qing.

He had cultivated from the Lower Realm to become a god, having endured countless battles and life-and-death trials, possessing extremely rich combat experience.

The first time he saw Gu Qing, he knew Gu Qing would be difficult to deal with, even more powerful than he had anticipated.

A man who could ascend to the peak of the Starlight Avenue was indeed extraordinary.

Therefore, Cheng Yang initially wanted to use his aura and verbal threats, thinking that Gu Qing, being so young, couldn't have a very strong state of mind or combat experience.

Once Gu Qing's state of mind showed a slight change, he was confident he could resolve Gu Qing within three moves.

However, even if Gu Qing's Dao Heart was impregnable, he still had a way to deal with it.

Cheng Yang's eyes flickered as he conjured seven divine artifacts, forming the Seven Stars Sword Formation, and attacked Gu Qing.

"Seven Stars divine ability? I can do that too."

Gu Qing's figure flickered, similarly splitting into six divine ability clones, standing in special positions, their Dao methods interconnected and aligned with heaven and earth, forming a Seven Stars Great Formation.

The seven figures seemed like seven vast ancient stars, with laws and order flowing, reflecting an boundless cosmic starry sky.

The seven ancient stars connected into a single expanse, carrying boundless cosmic power, their momentum grand and magnificent, as if a universe was crashing down.

"Hiss~"

"Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability."

Gu Qing's Seven Stars divine ability was perfect and flawless, natural in its Dao methods, seamlessly integrated with heaven and earth, as if his true body had transformed into an boundless universe.

Even with the formation separating them, it still made all the Heavenly God Realm cultivators feel a palpitation, as if facing a universe crashing down, making them somewhat suffocated.

And the most direct feeling, of course, belonged to Cheng Yang.

Before the Seven Stars divine ability even arrived, Cheng Yang was already suffocated by the boundless might emanating from Gu Qing's Seven Stars divine ability.

His Seven Stars Sword Formation was rapidly disintegrating.

Cheng Yang gasped, unable to believe that Gu Qing was so terrifying.

In fact, at first, it wasn't that Cheng Yang hadn't considered that Gu Qing might have awakened the Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability, and some other star-related innate divine abilities.

So, before the battle, he specifically borrowed a set of powerful weapons from the Grand Elder.

This was to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Furthermore, he had seen heaven's chosen who awakened the Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability, and had even fought against them.

But that person's Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability was definitely not as terrifying as Gu Qing's.

Cheng Yang even began to suspect that what Gu Qing was displaying was not the Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability.

After all, being the same Seven Stars Innate Divine Ability, there was no reason for Gu Qing's to be so much more powerful.

"My Junior Brother is truly amazing," Chu Yao's beautiful eyes gleamed, watching the radiant and invincible Gu Qing intently.

"This kid is no weaker than I was back then. He's certainly qualified to be my follower," Xi Ling thought to herself.

"Is Senior Brother Gu really an Immortal Alchemist? Could Senior Brother have made a mistake?" Zuo Yu'er was so shocked by Gu Qing's divine ability that she doubted her perception of reality.

He didn't look like an Immortal Alchemist at all.

"As expected of a man with the potential of an Immortal Emperor, he's incomparably stronger than the Yaoguang Holy Son."

Someone looked at Gu Qing, then at the serene and transcendent Yaoguang Holy Son, comparing them in secret.

They felt that the Yaoguang Holy Son was nothing special.

Boom!

The Seven Star Fist shattered the Seven Stars Sword Formation like a hot knife through butter, blowing up Cheng Yang's physical body.

The Sun God Fist followed closely, aiming to incinerate Cheng Yang's physical body and soul.

Reassembling the physical body, regenerating from a drop of blood, seemed incredibly heaven-defying.

However, if you're blown up when you're at full strength, can you really turn the tide after being blown up?

At most, you'd just die a few more times, or escape.

But Cheng Yang was utterly powerless against Gu Qing; his physical body hadn't even finished reassembling before he was blown up again by another punch.

The Sun Divine Fire burned his flesh and soul.

Cheng Yang didn't even have a chance to continue using the Seven Stars Sword Formation.

"Stop!"

Cheng Yang screamed in terror; he still had a trump card he hadn't used. The seven divine longswords just now were merely to probe Gu Qing's true strength.

His real killing move was yet to come; he planned to find the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Qing.

But he never expected to be killed by a single punch.

If he had known, he wouldn't have probed and would have directly summoned the seven Heavenly Divine Artifacts he borrowed from the Grand Elder.

"Stop him!"

The Grand Elder was furious, his Profound God Realm laws emanating, as if he were a deity controlling heaven and earth.

"Hmph!"

You Kui snorted coldly, his aura erupting, causing the heavens and earth to change color. The myriad phenomena of the Zhou Tian Starry Constellations enveloped everyone.

All beings felt like specks of dust in the vast universe, weak and insignificant.

"You Kui..."

The Sect Master and the elders' expressions instantly darkened, showing apprehension.

After all, You Kui was by no means an empty name; even three Profound God Realm peak cultivators couldn't defeat You Kui.

It was estimated that even if all the Profound Gods of the Star Dao Sect came out, they still couldn't do anything to You Kui.

After all, if he couldn't win, he could completely leave at his leisure; it was impossible for him to fight them to the death knowing it was futile.

If not for this, they would have already made a move against Gu Qing.

Under the Starry Sacred Mother's immense fortuitous encounter, there were no moral bottom lines.

"You Kui?"

"Is he You Kui, the Strongest Profound God, who withstood the aftershocks of an Immortal King's divine ability and survived?"

"The Strongest Profound God, truly lives up to his reputation."

"Too terrifying."

Under the shroud of You Kui's Dharma Idol, the faint killing intent emanating from him made everyone's souls feel like they were splitting apart. They quickly used their magical treasures and circulated their profound arts to protect their souls.

They had no doubt that You Kui could erase all of them with a single thought.
