333: Chapter 335 I am willing to sacrifice myself to flatten the abyss of demons!

The phenomenon came quickly and vanished just as fast.

As the vast scene above Lake Heart Island gradually subsided and the world returned to clarity, a legal decree was issued from within the island in the name of the Holy Son of Daoxuan. It instantly reached the hands of the power-holders of every major force in Middle Heaven.

The content of the decree was simple: inviting all Fellow Daoists to come to the Great Gan Imperial Capital to discuss matters.

Ancestor Hun and the others who received the decree did not hesitate or show any negligence.

What a joke—a newly ascended Return to One Realm existence with immeasurable combat power was personally inviting them; who would dare not go? Who would dare to put on airs?

In just half a day, Ancestor Hun and the power-holders of the various Holy Lands and Great Families who had survived the war gathered once again within that familiar assembly hall.

However, this time, the atmosphere in the hall was completely different from any previous occasion.

Everyone sat upright and still, not even daring to breathe loudly. All eyes were cast toward the very head of the hall with awe.

There, a figure in white was sitting quietly in the main seat.

He still looked just as young, handsome, and elegant. He simply sat there quietly, without any earth-shattering pressure emanating from him.

Yet, every Guixu Realm powerhouse present felt a pressure originating from the depths of their Soul.

It was as if they were facing not a young man, but a bottomless, vast starry sky.

“Greetings, Holy Son of Daoxuan!”

Ancestor Hun was the first to stand up and give a deep, formal bow to Gu Changsheng.

“We pay our respects to the Holy Son of Daoxuan!”

The rest of the people in the hall also rose one after another, their movements perfectly synchronized and their expressions respectful to the extreme.

Gu Changsheng's current status in their hearts was no longer that of a 'virtuous nephew' or a 'rising star.'

He was a sovereign.

He was the only new Return to One Realm powerhouse to be born in this world in thirty thousand years!

He was currently the only top-tier combat power that the entire Middle Heaven could offer!

He was everyone's final hope and reliance.

“Seniors, there is no need for such ceremony.”

Gu Changsheng raised his hand. His voice was calm, yet it carried an indisputable majesty.

Only then did the crowd dare to slowly sit down, though their backs remained ramrod straight.

Gu Changsheng looked at the faces below, filled with awe and trepidation, his heart completely unmoved.

This was power.

When you possessed power sufficient to crush everything, so-called seniority and experience became a joke.

He did not beat around the bush. His gaze swept over the crowd as he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a perfectly measured trace of compassion.

“Everyone, though the Yao Race disaster has been quelled, our Middle Heaven lands are still riddled with scars, refugees are everywhere, and everything awaits reconstruction.”

“Furthermore, there is still a Nine Nether Demon Emperor watching from the shadows like a tiger stalking its prey. If this Devil is not eliminated, Middle Heaven will not know a single day of peace.”

Hearing the four words 'Nine Nether Demon Emperor,' the faces of everyone in the hall instantly turned unsightly again.

Indeed, the Yao Race had been repelled, but there was still an even more lethal Devil Head that hadn't been dealt with.

That was an existence at the Peak of the Return to One Realm, a level stronger than even that Golden Lion Demon Ancestor!

What did the current Middle Heaven have to block him?

Subconsciously, everyone turned their gazes toward Gu Changsheng.

Now, he was the only one they could count on.

Gu Changsheng took in everyone's reactions. He slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, a hint of grief and determination showing in his deep eyes.

“Daoist Venerable Qingxu, Ancestor Fu, Senior Xuanyao... and those thousands upon thousands of comrades who died in battle, their blood must not be shed in vain!”

“This chaotic era stirred up by the Devil must be ended!”

“Therefore...” Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly rose, echoing in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

“I, Gu Changsheng, am willing to brave the danger myself to take another journey for the sake of all living beings!”

As his voice fell, he held his fingers together like a sword in front of everyone, using his own vast Return to One Realm Dao principles as a brush.

Using the Void Realm of heaven and earth as paper, he wrote a golden, brilliant legal decree that resounded through the world!

“Today, I, Gu Changsheng, the Holy Son of Daoxuan, inform all Cultivators of the world! The Yao disaster is settled, but the Demonic chaos has not ended! To console the spirits of our predecessors in heaven and to return a clear sky to Middle Heaven!”

“It is decided that in one month, I will personally lead the Zhongqiong Allied Forces to flatten the Wanmo Abyss and settle scores with the Nine Nether Demon Emperor! A fight to the death!”

Boom!

This legal decree was like a hundred-million-ton nuclear bomb, detonating throughout Middle Heaven!

The world was shaken!

Countless Cultivators who were confused about their prospects and worried about the future were stunned when they saw this decree spanning across the heavens. Then, they erupted into earth-shaking cheers!

“The Saint is mighty! The Saint is mighty!”

“Great! The Saint is going to personally take action to slay that Devil Head!”

“Braving danger to fight for all living beings! What magnanimity! What spirit! The Saint is truly the greatest hero of our Human Race in all eternity!”

For a moment, throughout Middle Heaven, regardless of age or gender, regardless of cultivation level—

Everyone's heart was filled with endless worship and gratitude toward Gu Changsheng.

His prestige reached an unprecedented Peak at this moment!

And just as this decree was announced to the world, from deep within the demonic domain that was shrouded in Devilish Qi year-round, an incredibly arrogant and overbearing demonic voice suddenly rang out in response.

“Gu Changsheng? A rising star of the Human Race? Hehe... nothing more than a slightly stronger ant in my eyes!”

“In one month, at the Wanmo Abyss, I will personally pluck off your head and use your Divine Soul to sacrifice for the prelude of my Demonic Path's reign over the world!”

A world-shaking Peak duel was thus set!

The eyes of the entire Xuantian True Domain were focused on the Wanmo Abyss, waiting for that earth-shattering battle to arrive.
