"Damn it!"
Gu Yuan’s expression changed drastically, his pupils constricting. With a wave of his hand, a light burst forth—a flowing, radiant shield, heavy as a mountain. Upon it, a ghastly, bone-deep slash mark was already visible.
HISS!
The blade light, imbued with the terrifying might of the Flame Thunder Blade Momentum, tore through space and slashed down on the Spiritual Artifact Shield. It erupted with astonishing power, making the surrounding void tremble as terrifying shockwaves blasted outward in all directions.
The impossibly sharp blade light shattered the shield, and an immense force slammed into Gu Yuan’s body. He felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. Spitting up a mouthful of blood, he was sent hurtling down into the deep sea like a cannonball.
But Gu Yun wasn’t about to let him get away.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, like the glint of a dancing blade, a razor-sharp edge that could sunder the heavens themselves. It tore through the oppressive darkness, shining with unprecedented brilliance.
The Flame Soul Thunder Saber in his hand crackled with crimson lightning. With a single slash, the light of his blade ripped through the void like a bolt of lightning connecting heaven and earth. It radiated a dazzling brilliance, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
An aura of infinite sharpness seemed to pierce the firmament. In the next instant, it shot fiercely toward Gu Yuan, who was still hurtling backward like a cannonball!
The space-tearing Sword Qi was impossibly fast, reaching Gu Yuan in the blink of an eye!
"No!!" came an indignant roar.
Gu Yuan’s eyes flew wide as his heart sank. His mind reeled, filled with fierce indignation and the raw terror of death, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
But the merciless, razor-sharp blade light tore through space, pierced his body, and plunged into the sea below.
Infused with potent Sword Momentum, the Sword Qi struck the ocean. The churning waves below were instantly cleaved in two, leaving a massive chasm in the water. The cut was as smooth as a mirror and refused to close for a long time.
At the same time, the lifeless body of Gu Yuan plummeted into the abyssal ocean. Crimson blood flowed from his wounds, staining the surrounding water. From above, it was but a single speck of red in the vast, endless sea.
"Gu Yuan!!"
Far in the distance, the heavily injured Gu Fei watched Gu Yuan’s demise, letting out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed across the heavens.
But what met her scream was...
...a sharp blade light that streaked like a meteor. It lit up the world, falling like a star and tearing through space. Like a divine Thunder Punishment, it slashed down fiercely upon her!
HISS!
The blade light flashed past, followed by a spray of blood. All that remained was her terrified expression, her pupils constricted in fear. Vivid red blood spread across the surface of the sea. Soon, her corpse would likely be devoured by marine creatures, becoming nothing more than a meal.

...
’Phew... It’s over.’
Gu Yun took a deep breath.
He hovered in the air, his long hair drifting as if in a nonexistent wind. His robes were tattered, and the burns from the scorching purple flames still felt searingly hot.
He looked around. In the dim light, the dark clouds above had been pierced by countless holes.
Dazzling sunlight streamed through the large holes, casting brilliant rays down onto the sea. Below, the churning water gradually calmed.
The scene was like a brilliant sun breaking through the clouds to shine upon the ocean, giving one the strangely comforting feeling of seeing the sun emerge after a storm.
Gu Yun’s figure flickered over the sea as he collected the two Storage Rings.
He could feel that after several battles, his True Yuan was on the verge of a breakthrough.
With a flash, he transformed into a streak of lightning and shot toward the horizon, leaving only a faint afterimage that slowly faded away.
The very instant Gu Yuan died, thousands upon thousands of miles away on the Eastern Profound Domain Continent...
...in the territory of the Ancient Nether Sect, nestled within a mountain range rich with Spiritual Qi...
...and inside a grand, weathered hall suspended in the void...
...a square-faced, middle-aged Cultivator, sitting cross-legged and shrouded in mist, snapped his eyes open. A vast, boundless aura erupted from him.
His momentum swept out for miles, causing the weather to run wild. The void trembled, and the very mountains and rivers shook.
His gaze shot toward the Chaotic Star Sea Region. The middle-aged Cultivator’s expression flickered with uncertainty before twisting with boundless rage.
He watched as a purple Life Token emerged from within him and hovered in the air. It was already covered in cracks.
CRACK!
With a faint sound, the purple Life Token shattered, turning completely to dust before vanishing into the void.
"Gu Yuan is dead!!!"
The square-faced Cultivator’s eyes instantly turned blood-red as boundless rage ignited in his heart. He stared at the spot where the Life Token had turned to dust and vanished.
His body trembled slightly. Then, a vast, infinite aura erupted from him, washing over the land like a monstrous flood. For hundreds of miles around, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and violent winds howled. Lakes churned, and mountains crumbled.
For miles in every direction, the world was plunged into darkness, blotting out the sun and moon. A terrifying killing intent shot toward the heavens like a pillar of blood, piercing the clouds.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the middle-aged Cultivator summoned a blood-red, prismatic communication talisman. He forcefully sent a message into it.
...
On a nameless island in the Purple Bright Sea Region, ancient trees towered over rolling mountain peaks.
A figure sat cross-legged in a hidden, dark cave.
Gu Yun regulated his breathing, then swallowed an Extreme True Spirit Pill that was emitting a faint, hazy glow.
As the Elixir dissolved, a scorching heat like molten lava flooded his Dantian. From there, it spread through his meridians, coursing through every part of his body.
Potent medicinal energy filled him, erupting in waves like a volcano. Gu Yun frantically circulated the Nine Tribulations Gang Thunder Decision, running it through a full Circulation.
He mobilized the vast sea of True Yuan within him, using it like an unending tide to envelop and refine the Elixir’s power.
Meanwhile, arcs of lightning flickered around him, illuminating the dark cave. Gu Yun’s aura climbed steadily, and the power he exuded grew more and more formidable.
「Three days later.」
Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open. They flashed with electricity, as if a bolt of lightning had just cracked through the darkness of the cave.
Instantly, an incredibly powerful aura erupted from him, surging through the void like a tidal wave and making the very space around him tremble.
’Phew!’
’I’ve broken through!’
Gu Yun clenched his fist, feeling his True Yuan double. As he savored the immense power coursing through him, a wave of unconcealable joy washed over him.
