142: The Celestial Venerable's killing intent is to exchange life for life!

Above the ten thousand star heavenly stele, the Void Realm trembled and shattered like glass.

Under the suppression of the six paths reincarnation plate, the rings of starlight surrounding the thousands-of-feet-tall phantom formed by the Ziwei Imperial Son broke apart inch by inch.

The next moment, the Emperor phantom could no longer hold on and directly shattered.

Even the Ziwei Imperial Son inside suffered backlash, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his aura weak and listless.

"Is that the Imperial Son?"

"Impossible! The Imperial Son has a Half-Saint cultivation base, and his strength is invincible among those under a hundred years old. Who could be his opponent?"

"The person fighting the Imperial Son seems to be the Xuantian Saint."

"Is that Xuantian Saint really that powerful? Even the Imperial Son of my Ziwei Holy Land is being suppressed by someone fighting above their realm?"

"Gu Qingchen, how dare you attack my Ziwei Imperial Son?"

"..."

The people of Ziwei Holy Land were shouting loudly.

Hearing the noise, Gu Qingchen looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Were we directly expelled from the Ancient Star Tomb?"

Logically speaking, the Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm hadn't reached the time for closure, even though he had already gathered most of the benefits.

But the matter hasn't been completely resolved yet.

In fact.

Everyone was unaware that the reason the Ancient Star Tomb Secret Realm expelled everyone except Ye Qingxian was because she had cut off the supply of Starlight Power.

"Is that Gu Qingchen?"

In the Void Realm nearby, the Heavenly Venerable of Yuanshi Holy Land saw Gu Qingchen, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Old Ancestor, that is Gu Qingchen."

The Yuanshi Holy Lord beside him nodded and said, "His talent is very strong. Even Xuan Cang was defeated by him while fighting above his realm."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Venerable Ancestor nodded, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"Xuan Cang's defeat was not unjust. If Gu Qingchen can defeat the Ziwei Imperial Son while fighting above his realm, how much more so him?"

As a Heavenly Venerable, he could see the Ziwei Imperial Son's strength at a glance.

Half-Saint cultivation, with the battle power of a Saint at the Great Perfection level.

Not only was his Imperial Blood extremely concentrated, but he also possessed the Purple Tenuity Imperial Body, the same as Great Emperor Ziwei.

In the millions of years of this current epoch, he is absolutely a Prodigy belonging to the first echelon.

But even so, he was still no match for Gu Qingchen.

It could be said that Gu Qingchen's talent was many times more terrifying than what the Yuanshi Holy Lord described.

As a Heavenly Venerable, he was far inferior to the current Gu Qingchen when he was the same age.

No.

Let alone the same age, he was far inferior to the twenty-year-old Gu Qingchen even when he was two hundred years old!

"Since our Yuanshi Holy Land and Xuantian Holy Land have already become enemies, this Gu Qingchen must die."

As a Heavenly Venerable, he actually felt fear in his heart when he saw Gu Qingchen.

He didn't fear Gu Qingchen's current strength, but his potential!

Judging by Gu Qingchen's current performance, as long as he doesn't perish halfway, becoming a Great Emperor is practically only a matter of time.

And once Gu Qingchen becomes a Great Emperor, the Yuanshi Holy Land, which has incurred his enmity, will very likely face reckoning!

A Great Emperor of the current era—even Yuanshi Holy Land, the foremost Holy Land of the current era, would have to bow its head.

Even if Yuanshi Holy Land is guarded by four ultimate emperor weapons, it cannot indefinitely block a Peak Great Emperor!

Furthermore, although the spirit of an Imperial Weapon, once revived, has battle power almost comparable to a Great Emperor's attack.

But the power of a Great Emperor personally activating their Destiny Imperial Weapon far exceeds that of a standard Imperial Weapon revival.

"Why wouldn't I want to intercept and kill this Gu Qingchen?"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord sighed, "But among the younger generation, who can be his opponent?

If it's not a fight among peers, Xuantian Holy Land won't allow us to assassinate him. The best opportunity is ten months from now, at the Emperor Ruins Battlefield."

However, Yuanshi Holy Lands Heavenly Venerable Ancestor shook his head: "The longer we drag it out, the greater the variables."

His eyes were deep, as if crossing through time, seeing that peerless figure's back.

"Such an existence is favored by Destiny. Their growth speed is unbelievably fast, and they can often snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, turn misfortune into fortune, and avert danger.

If we act, it must be a fatal blow. Otherwise, when he appears before you again, you will only be able to kneel and beg him to spare your life."

"That exaggerated?"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord was somewhat surprised by this.

Although this world has always had concepts like Destiny and Luck.

He certainly believed in them.

But wasn't the Old Ancestor's statement a bit too exaggerated?

"Not exaggerated at all."

Yuanshi Holy Lands Heavenly Venerable Ancestor's eyes flashed with cold severity, as if he had made a decision: "As for you saying we lack a justifiable reason... Didn't Gu Qingchen ally with the Demonic Path to intercept and kill our Yuanshi Holy Son?"

"But Xuan Cang is not dead yet..."

The Yuanshi Holy Lord frowned.

Although the Yuanshi Saint has been missing for a long time.

But the Life Lamp he left inside Yuanshi Holy Land hasn't been extinguished; it's just growing weaker.

Their purpose in coming here to interrogate Gu Qingchen was also to find Di Xuancang's whereabouts.

The so-called "Gu Qingchen colluding with the Demonic Path" was just an excuse.

To facilitate their interrogation of Gu Qingchen and ultimately find Di Xuancang.

"To eliminate a Prodigy of this caliber, some price must be paid..."

Yuanshi Holy Lands Heavenly Venerable Ancestor's tone was meaningful.

"Old Ancestor, are you suggesting we use that kind of method?"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord's expression instantly changed, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "Is doing this truly worth it?"

"Worth it!"

The Heavenly Venerable Ancestor said solemnly, "It's extremely worth it!

For the sake of eliminating Gu Qingchen, Xuan Cang can die.

And as long as we successfully eliminate Gu Qingchen, Xuan Cang's death will be incredibly valuable."

"But Xuan Cang is the second Yuanshi Body in millions of years! If he can perfectly inherit the Great Emperor's Legacy, his future prospects are limitless!"

The Yuanshi Holy Lord strongly refuted.

Di Xuancang was his biological nephew.

He treated this nephew even better than his own son, having long regarded him as his hope and the future star of the Di Family.

The reason he woke up the Heavenly Venerable Ancestor this time was to find him, yet now the Heavenly Venerable Ancestor wants him to trade his life for another?

"Even if he perfectly inherited the Great Emperor's Legacy, so what?"

The Heavenly Venerable Ancestor frowned and said, "If he cannot forge his own Dao, he will, at most, only be a Quasi-Emperor.

Considering he was defeated by Gu Qingchen fighting above his realm, his mental state is damaged. In the future, he might even get stuck at the Supreme realm and fail to become a Yuan Venerable.

Is trading his life for the life of a future Great Emperor not worth it?"

"This..."

After hearing the Old Ancestor's analysis, the Yuanshi Holy Lord found that he was completely unable to refute it.

But even so, his emotions and personal feelings prevented him from making the decision to personally end Di Xuancang's life.

"Enough, this matter is settled!"

Yuanshi Holy Lands Heavenly Venerable Ancestor made the decision: "His ability to trade his life for that of a future Great Emperor will be the most glorious moment of his life.

The Holy Land will remember his sacrifice.

But now, we can see what Ziwei Holy Land plans to do."
