218: An era without saints!? (Seventeen)

The moment Gu Yun's Divine Thought, wrapped in the aura of the stone talisman, touched the barrier of the small pagoda, boom!

The small pagoda shook violently.

That sturdy barrier dissolved like ice and snow, cracking open a tiny fissure.

A terrifying suction force, originating from the ancient past, suddenly surged from that fissure.

Gu Yun's Divine Thought, along with the aura of that forbidden zone stone talisman, was instantly swallowed inside.

His Divine Soul was pulled by a vast force.

Everything before his eyes vanished.

It was as if he had been cast into a vast space.

Here, there were no concepts of up, down, left, or right, no concepts of time or space—only endless darkness.

And in that endless darkness, billions of brilliant starlights floated.

Each star point emitted an ancient and supreme Dao rhythm.

Gu Yun immediately realized that each star point represented a complete supreme Legacy, or a pure Origin Law.

Their grade was so high that it far exceeded anything imaginable in the outside world.

He could even sense that the grade of many Legacies had already surpassed the Saint tier.

Just as Gu Yun was stunned by the spectacular scene before him, a repulsive force originating from the space itself came from all directions.

This force was cold and ruthless, seemingly intending to completely digest and crush him, an outsider, before expelling him from this space.

Gu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

He could clearly feel that his Divine Soul was being "digested" by this space—no, not digested, but expelled.

This space was expelling him, an outsider.

He did not have much time left.

He had to grasp his own Opportunity before being completely expelled.

The billions of star points were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges; it was impossible to distinguish them one by one.

At this moment, Gu Yun gave up thinking.

He fused the combat instincts of countless lifetimes, bringing them to their absolute peak at this moment.

Instinctively, he abandoned those star points of Legacies with gentle light and easily approachable auras.

His gaze locked onto two clusters of light in this boundless sea of stars, the two that were the most brilliant and possessed the most domineering auras.

One of them was entirely a majestic purple-gold, like an Imperial Sun, emitting a domineering aura of absolute supremacy.

Gu Yun could almost conclude that it must be an Emperor-tier Cultivation Technique!

As for the other cluster, it was a piece of deep Chaos.

Within the Chaos, one could vaguely see scenes of the sun and moon collapsing and all things withering, rising and falling in cycles of birth and death.

A terrifying Dao rhythm filled with silence and endings emanated from it.

This was undoubtedly a supreme Divine Ability with infinite power!

Without the slightest hesitation, "It's you two!"

Gu Yun's Divine Soul power condensed, transforming into a massive hand.

Ignoring the temptation of the other star points, he grabbed fiercely toward those two clusters of light.

The moment his Divine Soul hand touched the two clusters of light, a terrifying backlash erupted!

From within that purple-gold light, a domineering and unparalleled Imperial Might, like an edict descended from a Heavenly Emperor, sought to crush the hand that dared to offend it, along with his Divine Soul.

And that Chaos light erupted with a pure intent of silence, seeking to completely erase his consciousness and existence from the root.

Two forces, one domineering and one dead silent, acted upon Gu Yun's Divine Soul simultaneously.

Under this impact, his Divine Soul let out a wail, nearing collapse.

At this critical moment, the main body of that mysterious small pagoda in his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.

Hum!

A supreme, highest aura emanated from the pagoda body.

Under the suppression of this aura, those two clusters of light, which were originally incredibly violent, instantly became docile, their riotous behavior suppressed in an instant.

Gu Yun seized this fleeting Opportunity.

He immediately activated the Foundation of this life.

The Origin power of his Primordial Chaos Sacred Body transformed into chains of purple-gold, tightly wrapping and enveloping the two clusters of light.

At the same time, the natural Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart in his chest began to operate rapidly.

The Origin structure of these two forces was forcibly analyzed by him, and their weak nodes were discerned one by one.

"Get in here!" Gu Yun let out a roar from the depths of his Divine Soul.

Under the dual effect of the small pagoda and his own Physique, he finally dragged those two violent, supreme Legacies into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately after, using the Hongmeng Origin as a lock and his Exquisite Dao Heart as a Seal, he temporarily sealed them away.

Even though it was only a preliminary Seal, a portion of incomplete information fragments still uncontrollably flooded into Gu Yun's mind.

"Azure Heaven Indestructible Art".

The opening outline of an Emperor-tier Cultivation Technique flowed through his mind.

Although it was only a few hundred words, the profoundness and power contained within were enough to make his future path suddenly clear.

And from the other cluster of Chaos light, he gained insight into the "seed" of a supreme killing Divine Ability.

As long as he continued to nurture it with his own Dao in the future, this seed would take root and sprout, eventually blooming with a terrifying power capable of silencing all things.

The moment he completed all this, the repulsive force of the space inside the pagoda reached its peak.

Gu Yun's Divine Soul was instantly ejected by an irresistible force.

Within the secret chamber of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, Gu Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

A trace of fatigue from the excessive consumption of his Divine Soul flashed in his eyes, but more of it was a sharp edge and a chilling murderous intent.

He could clearly feel those two terrifying forces temporarily sealed in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

His confidence for revenge had grown a bit stronger.

Gu Yun did not pause at all.

He slowly stood up and pushed open the stone door of the secret chamber.

Outside the door, a tall figure had been waiting for a long time; it was none other than Gu Zhan.

Seeing Gu Yun come out, Gu Zhan immediately knelt on one knee, his expression respectful and fanatical.

"My Lord."

Gu Yun's gaze was cold as he swept it past the window, as if seeing the direction of the Ji Family and the Wang Family in the Central Plains.

The words he spat out made the atmosphere instantly heavy.

"Clan Brother, relay my order."

"Notify Father, it can begin."

Gu Yun's voice paused, filled with murderous intent.

"I want the Ji Family, the Wang Family, and that 'Human World' to pay a painful price for what they have done."
