332: Chapter 333 The Killing Intent of the Supreme Being!
Above Lake Heart Island.
The winds and clouds changed suddenly!
The originally clear sky was covered by endless auspicious clouds; purple qi traveled thirty thousand miles from the east, immortal music drifted faintly, and the Great Dao resonated.
Immediately after, countless phantoms of gods and demons, tens of thousands of feet tall and in various forms, appeared faintly within the thick layers of clouds. With solemn expressions, they bowed their heads in worship toward the direction of Lake Heart Island.
It was as if they were welcoming the birth of a supreme monarch.
Such a vast and magnificent vision instantly startled all living beings within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Inside Xuanji City, the closest city to Lake Heart Island.
Countless Cultivators rushed out of their Immortal Caves, staring in horror at the world-destroying scene in the sky, their faces pale with fear.
"Heavens... Oh my god! Wh... what is this?"
"Gods and demons bowing in worship, the Great Dao resonating... This... this is the celestial omen that only appears when a legendary powerhouse of the Return to One Realm is born!"
Atop the tallest pavilion in the city, several old monsters with deep auras, who had lived for untold years, were also startled.
They looked at the center of the vision, which was exactly that mysterious Lake Heart Island deep within the Eastern Domain.
"Lake Heart Island... it's the Holy Son of Daoxuan's dao field!"
"I remember that three years ago, after the decisive battle with the Yao Race, the Holy Son of Daoxuan was already at the Peak of the Guixu Realm... Could it be..."
As the old man reached this point, his voice began to tremble, and he could not bring himself to say the rest.
The others looked at each other, seeing a near-frozen horror in each other's eyes.
The Return to One Realm!
The Holy Son of Daoxuan, he has stepped into the Return to One Realm!
A Return to One Realm expert under a hundred years old!
This thought was like a massive hammer weighing billions of tons, slamming hard into their hearts.
It made these old monsters, who were used to great storms and whose states of mind were usually as calm as still water, feel a wave of dizziness, nearly unable to stand steady.
"A Prodigy... a true Prodigy!"
"Since ancient times, there has never been such a figure! With such talent, even those legendary Young Great Emperors would probably pale in comparison!"
"The Middle Heaven is about to change. No, it has already changed." An old man shook his head bitterly. "From now on, this Middle Heaven belongs to the era where the Holy Son of Daoxuan reigns supreme alone."
Everyone fell silent.
No one refuted him.
Because it was the truth.
A Prodigy whose combat power was already Heaven-Defying enough to slay those in the Return to One Realm.
Now, he had personally pushed open the door to the Return to One Realm that had trapped countless prodigies for eternal ages.
To what terrifying level has his strength reached?
No one knew.
And no one dared to think about it.
Scheming against him? Don't be ridiculous.
Most likely, with just a single thought from him, the entire Xuanji City, along with these so-called Old Ancestors, would turn into fly ash in an instant.
...
Deep within that unknown Secret Realm.
Inside the simple and ancient Dao Palace.
Sitting cross-legged, Taishang Wuchen suddenly opened his eyes.
In those deep eyes, the previous pride and gratification were gone, replaced by a look of gravity and suspicion.
"A new Return to One Realm?"
He clearly felt that just now, a new Return to One Realm expert had been born in the Xuantian True Domain.
Furthermore, the celestial vision triggered by the other party's Breakthrough was something even he had never heard of.
Gods and demons bowing in worship?
You must be joking!
When he broke through to the Return to One Realm back then, he had only attracted a tide of Spiritual Qi within a radius of ten thousand miles, which was hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-years spectacle.
But compared to this, it was simply insignificant, not even worthy of comparison.
Who on earth is it?
Taishang Wuchen's brow furrowed as he pinched his fingers to calculate.
However, the heavenly secrets were in Chaos, obscured by an invisible force; no matter how he deduced, he could not glimpse even a trace of a clue.
"Humph!"
He snorted coldly, no longer wasting his energy.
A vertical eye slowly split open at the center of his forehead, shooting out a brilliant divine light that pierced through time and space, instantly crossing an endless distance to look toward the center of the vision.
In the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted.
On that face that always maintained a calm and composed expression as if he held everything in his palm, an unbelievable look appeared for the first time.
Lake Heart Island.
That figure bathed in divine light, wearing clothes as white as snow—who else could it be but that Holy Son of Daoxuan, Gu Changsheng!
It's him!
It's actually him!
Taishang Wuchen's heart sank heavily.
He never expected that the rising star who, in his eyes, only had slightly better talent and luck, would actually reach this step in such a short time!
Achieving the Return to One Realm at less than a hundred years old!
This could no longer be described as just a "Prodigy."
There must be something strange about this!
Taishang Wuchen had lived for tens of thousands of years and considered himself to have calculated everything in the world, yet he found that he had only failed to account for this Gu Changsheng.
From his sudden emergence to his current reign over the world.
This young man's body was filled with too many mysteries and too many irrationalities.
It was as if he didn't belong to this world at all.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into Taishang Wuchen's heart.
He had a strong premonition.
This Gu Changsheng would become the greatest variable on his path to Immortal Ascension!
This boy absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
A thick killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Originally, he intended to adjust his state to its Peak.
Then, with the momentum of thunder, he would first slay Nine Nether and then eliminate any future troubles, ascending to the throne of the Emperor in the most perfect and secure way.
But now, he could not wait anymore!
Gu Changsheng's growth speed was truly too terrifying.
If he were allowed to continue developing so steadily, it probably wouldn't be long before he could truly threaten him.
He must strike first before he fully grows up!
"Time waits for no one..."
Taishang Wuchen slowly rose, his deep eyes looking toward the direction of the Demon Domain, with no more hesitation in them.
"Pass on my order!"
His voice was cold and resolute, echoing loudly within the great hall.
"Assemble all Elders. In three days, follow me... to level the Wanmo Abyss!"
He wanted to slay the Nine Nether Demon Emperor as quickly as possible, seize the final Opportunity of this world, and prove his path to becoming an Emperor!
As for the Chess player hidden in the shadows and this newly risen Gu Changsheng...
Once he achieved the position of Emperor, he could suppress and kill them with a flip of his hand!
