930: Dimensionality reduction attack

“Ignorance.”

Hearing this, Gu Nian felt disdain. Xiao Xuan seemed very strong, unfathomable, and proficient in countless divine abilities and secret arts.

However, none of his divine abilities or secret arts had reached the pinnacle of sublimation, achieving the realm of “Dao”; they were no different from ordinary divine abilities.

In other words, Xiao Xuan’s divine abilities were just divine abilities, not the manifestation of a Great Dao.

In her eyes, crushing Xiao Xuan was as simple as crushing an ant.

“Who among you supports him?”

Gu Nian, wearing a Starry Crown, looked indifferent, like an empress gazing down upon all living beings, as she coldly scanned the crowd below the stage.

Everyone’s hearts swelled with joy, and they shook their heads repeatedly. Gu Nian asking this clearly gave them another chance to choose.

If they still stubbornly went their own way, they would surely face retribution.

If not now, when would they draw a clear line with Xiao Xuan?

Of course, there were also those who firmly followed Xiao Xuan; they did not believe Xiao Xuan would be defeated.

Their only concern was that Xiao Xuan had offended the Starry Sacred Mother.

However, based on their understanding of the Starry Sacred Mother, she likely wouldn’t bother with Xiao Xuan. She might even think Xiao Xuan had a transcendent character and was a malleable talent.

Standing with Xiao Xuan now would be like sending charcoal in the snow. When Xiao Xuan soared to great heights in the future, they too would rise with him.

“Have you decided?”

Xiao Xuan had long anticipated this, so when he saw that most people chose to betray him, his expression remained unchanged as he asked indifferently.

After all, these people had just sworn to follow him to their deaths and had given him many treasures.

Xiao Xuan had always been clear about grudges and favors, and he decided to give these people another chance.

“Hmph, Xiao Xuan, I originally thought you were a malleable talent who respected his teachers, and we spared no effort to cultivate you. But you, relying on your talent, became arrogant and defied your ancestor. You deserve to be executed.”

An elder’s eyes sharpened as he angrily rebuked, his words completely absolving himself.

“Exactly!”

“It’s regrettable that this old man misjudged him.”

“I never imagined you would be so deranged, harboring an evil heart…”

Everyone expressed their stances, glaring at Xiao Xuan as if they wished to tear him apart, yet sighing inwardly.

Clearly, they also thought highly of Xiao Xuan and did not believe he would lose to Gu Nian.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xuan was too arrogant, daring to challenge the Starry Sacred Mother’s authority.

To distance themselves from Xiao Xuan, they had no choice but to do this.

“Heh!”

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He hadn’t expected these people to turn on him to curry favor with Gu Nian. Indeed, they were a bunch of sycophants.

He had given them a chance. Since these people didn’t know how to cherish it, then he wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless. From now on, he and these people were strangers.

These people would never know what kind of opportunity they had missed.

One act of disloyalty meant a hundred times of disuse. He only hoped they wouldn’t regret it later.

Thinking this, Xiao Xuan’s lips curled slightly, and he mentally sentenced these people to death.

Xiao Xuan stood tall and straight, his hands clasped behind his back, looking like an exiled immortal against his snow-white robes.

His gaze towards Gu Nian was utterly calm as Xiao Xuan said indifferently, “Do you dare to fight me?”

“You are not worthy.”

“Kneel before me.”

Gu Nian’s voice was like a decree from heaven and earth, grand and majestic, her Words Become Law, as if it echoed in everyone’s hearts.

An illusory image of a supreme existence appeared in everyone’s minds, its divine might glorious and inviolable. Countless cultivators below the Dao Lord level had their minds shaken, and they all knelt down, devoutly worshipping.

As for Xiao Xuan, the primary target of the attack, he fell to his knees with a thud, utterly unsurprised, like a devout believer prostrating himself.

However, Xiao Xuan quickly recovered, his expression filled with extreme horror, as he looked at Gu Nian in disbelief.

Xiao Xuan was utterly stunned, his mind a blank, as he dazedly looked down at himself.

How could someone as powerful as him be shaken in mind and forced to his knees by Gu Nian’s single word?

“It must have been a sneak attack…” Xiao Xuan thought of this possibility, and he could only think this way.

He believed that Gu Nian primarily cultivated the Divine Soul Great Dao, and her divine soul was extremely powerful, causing him to accidentally fall into her trap.

Xiao Xuan felt deeply humiliated and wanted to stand up. However, it was as if an immeasurable divine mountain was pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe.

“Get up…”

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Xiao Xuan roared, his gums bleeding from clenching his teeth, his veins bulging on his body and face, his eyes wide and bloodshot, making him look ferocious.

Xiao Xuan propped himself up with his hands, trembling all over. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stand up, and his bones emitted crisp cracking sounds of breaking.

“Hahahaha!”

Gu Nian let out a hearty laugh, her Dao heart feeling smooth. After being suppressed by Gu Qing for so long, she finally gained the upper hand.

Without Gu Qing’s seal, with her full talent unleashed, all those on the same level were mere ants.

“How is this possible…”

No matter how confident Xiao Xuan was at this moment, he had to face reality. He had encountered a great terror, and his heart was filled with dread and fear, losing his composure.

His supposedly firm Dao heart was now shattered into pieces.

After all, since his debut, he had always been invincible, easily crushing opponents. Those so-called prodigies and evildoers couldn’t even withstand his aura field.

A few powerful ones would also be suppressed by his single hand.

He had never imagined that there would be a day when he would be suppressed by someone with a single hand.

This overturned his invincible belief and understanding, making him unable to believe how Gu Nian could be so powerful.

It took Xiao Xuan a while to stabilize his mind and accept reality. His thoughts raced, and within a few breaths, he thought of a way to break the situation.

Immediately, he stopped hiding, unleashing all his cultivation. He activated the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Art, and a billion eight hundred million divine elephants roared in unison within him, an endless divine power empowering his body.

Xiao Xuan felt as if he possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth. He slowly stood up, his gaze coldly fixed on Gu Nian.

He admitted that Gu Nian was terrifyingly strong.

But he was not weak either.

He would not give Gu Nian another chance to ambush him.

“Body cultivation divine ability? Hmph, mere parlor tricks. Kneel before me.”

Seeing Xiao Xuan stand up, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Nian’s eyes. Her gaze flickered, piercing through illusions and directly looking at the divine elephants within Xiao Xuan, as she scoffed disdainfully.

Gu Nian used her Genesis Origin and Supreme Dao Bone, deducing a great divine ability with a single thought, and transforming that divine ability into Dao with another thought.

In the high sky, the divine light of the Great Dao was resplendent, dazzling and eye-catching, evolving into an endless myriad of great worlds.

The great worlds transformed from illusory to real, yet in an instant, they evolved into a mountain of worlds.

The World Mountain, carrying the power of endless worlds, crashed down with a roar.

“Crack!”

Xiao Xuan’s bones made cracking sounds, and his eyeballs nearly popped out. He was instantly crushed by the World Mountain, like a dead dog.

“You… Pfft!”

Xiao Xuan spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, his eyes filled with terror.

At this moment, he was truly afraid.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying a billion eight hundred million Yuanxiang particles were.

After all, he had heaven-defying comprehension and had upgraded the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Art several times.

The power of a single divine elephant was enough to suppress those on the same level.

This was why he himself didn’t know how powerful he truly was.

But in front of the World Mountain, Xiao Xuan felt as if he had been subjected to a dimensionality reduction attack. His billion eight hundred million divine elephants were shattered in an instant.

Even his Dao fruit and countless Dao laws were all shattered.

He was now a cripple, his cultivation, magical power, and Dao fruit all dissipating.
