Gu Dongliu coughed up blood, his head lowered. He looked down and saw the Sword Saint and Ye Futian stepping out from the crowd. He delivered his voice to them using his residual life force, “Don’t get involved.”

Dao Sheng and Ye Futian looked up and saw Gu Dongliu looking at them with a pair of bloody eyes. He delivered his voice to the Sword Saint, “Brother, watch Ye Futian.”

If the Sword Saint and Ye Futian intervened in this situation, these big figures of the Heavenly Mandate Realm would kill them as if they were ants.

They were too fragile in front of these big figures.

No matter how talented they were, they were unable to bear one stare or one wisp of thought from these big figures, who were much more powerful than them.

These predominant figures might have ignored Ye Futian and the Sword Saint’s presence, but if the Sword Saint and Ye Futian forcibly intervened, they wouldn’t mind trampling them to death because they were weak ants in their eyes.

So, in any case, neither the Sword Saint nor Ye Futian could stand out and get themselves killed.

Will of Sword surrounded the Sword Saint. Gu Dongliu told him to watch Ye Futian.

But he couldn’t control himself.

The Sword Saint reached out a trembling hand and placed it on Ye Futian’s shoulder, pressing Ye Futian’s body down by force. They both fell to the ground and looked up at everything happening in the void sky.

“Brother,” called Ye Futian, looking at the Sword Saint beside him.

“Master is not here. It is my fault. I am too useless,” the Sword Saint said in a low voice. Their master was not here, so it was supposed to be his duty to protect his brothers.

However, he couldn’t do anything.

Seeing them leave, Gu Dongliu raised his head and said to the figures high above the sky, “Hey.”

The moment he spoke, all the forces suddenly dispersed. There was only Might shrouding his body, as if it could befall him at any time.

Warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace were all looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Did this descendant of Gu Clan know about his origin? Were there any other people of the Gu Clan still alive? Did he have any cultivation methods of the Gu Clan with him?

“He asked me to tell you that by the time he returns, the Dynasty and the Palace will be reduced to ruins,” Gu Dongliu said with a smile, but the smile was quite sorrowful.

Say something?

What did they want him to say?

He didn’t know anything.

But since these people were scared of a deceased figure, full of fright even after so many years, he had to say something that they expected him to say.

“By the time he returns, the Dynasty and the Palace will be reduced to ruins.” People ruminated over these words in shock. Even warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace looked pale after hearing his words, doubting their authenticity.

Will he return? they wondered.

“I will take him,” said a Renhuang warrior of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty assertively. A beam of dazzling divine light descended from the sky. He raised one hand and grabbed at Gu Dongliu’s body. He wanted to take Gu Dongliu back and interrogate him. He needed to know more.

If Gu Dongliu refused to speak, they would find ways to control him, even using some special tactics.

“You are asking for your own destruction,” a warrior of the Violet Heavenly Palace said coldly. The horrifying Will of Thunder in his pupils burst into Gu Dongliu’s body.

Boom…

Gu Dongliu just felt that his soul was going to burst and shatter into pieces. He opened his arms, hair messy, his clothes blowing in the wind.

Boom!

His life spirit Celestial Shadow was being destroyed little by little, but at this moment, from his life spirit, wisps of intimidating life force permeated and rushed into the sky.

At this moment, Gu Dongliu’s life spirit seemed to be resonating with the Law of Heaven. Beams of dazzling celestial light bloomed from his life spirit and connected with the Great Law above the sky dome.

“What happened?”

This scene made many people’s eyes contract. Everyone was staring at the young man.

They just saw Gu Dongliu’s body slowly floating up. It was as if he no longer controlled it. From his body, beams of celestial light rose upward. Every one of the nine ancient characters emitted an unparalleled aura. These characters rotated around him and gradually turned into nine celestial shadows.

The Emperor of Purple Underworld narrowed his eyes. He involuntarily took a step forward. He was agitated by what he saw.

How was it possible?

He had already thoroughly examined him. There was nothing hidden in Gu Dongliu or his life spirit.

But why was this happening?

Were there any means that even a powerful warrior like him could not detect?

Warriors of those five top powers were staring at Gu Dongliu above the sky dome. There was an extreme coldness in the eyes of the warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace. They knew it was not that simple.

At that time, what was Gu Tianxing like? If any descendant of the Gu Clan survived, how could he not make arrangements for him?

Today, their guess seemed to be confirmed.

The Renhuang of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven watched the scene in shock, overwhelmed by his thoughts.

“The sealing technique of the Nine Deities.”

He felt a surge of emotion. Did sealing techniques exist on earth?

When the Gu Clan was at the apex of power, there were 12 deity-like figures in the clan.

The sealing technique of the Nine Deities required the nine of them to seal their power in him.

The power of nine deities among the 12. Who on earth was Gu Dongliu?

He suddenly thought of that unprecedented war, during which Gu Tianxing set foot in the court of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty alone.

He suddenly realized that at that time, numerous warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven seemed to have neglected something.

The nine celestial shadows rotated around Gu Dongliu. Among them, a beam of dazzling celestial light shot straight into the clouds and resonated with the sky. Wind and clouds roared above the sky dome as if the Might of Heaven would arrive. The whole world was changing. The celestial light shrouded the sky.

“This is…”

Countless people from the Purple Underworld Sect were shocked by this scene. What just happened?

How could there be such a powerful force in Gu Dongliu’s body?

“Third Brother,” Ye Futian murmured. They were all stunned. Qi Xuanguan showed surprise at the scene. He released his mind and could perceive that, at this moment, Gu Dongliu had become one with the Heavenly Law.

“Some masterful warrior put a seal on his body,” Qi Xuanguan said in a low voice.

Ye Futian was perplexed. Was that person Gu Tianxing?

If so, why did he do this?

Was he afraid that the enemy was too powerful? Did he seal the Third Brother’s talents and power to let him live a simple and ordinary life in the Lower Realms?

Could the seal be removed only when the Third Brother encountered irresistible forces?

But at this moment, he saw a wisp of hope.

If, as people said, Third Brother was the last descendant of the Gu Clan lineage, Gu Tianxing must have left something to him.

Warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace looked up at the sky. Wind and clouds were roaring above the sky dome. The beams of celestial light were scorching. Gu Dongliu’s body kept rising as if it would merge into the celestial light.

The Renhuang warrior of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty raised his hand and grabbed toward Gu Dongliu’s body. A giant palm print of the Great Law appeared between the sky and earth, covering one corner of the sky. It smashed down, trying to directly capture Gu Dongliu.

Fizz…

A beam of celestial light swung down, and the palm print was directly chopped in half. The aggregated palm print of the Great Law fell but had not yet collapsed.

The Renhuang of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty looked up at the sky and saw endless beams of celestial light gather into a body figure above the sky dome.

This figure was standing on the sky dome amid the endless celestial light. He stood straight with his hands behind his back between the sky and earth. His bearing was peerless in the world.

Seeing this figure, warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Realm all had horrified looks on their faces. Even Renhuang warriors had their facial expressions distorted. Their hearts thumped fast. Overwhelming emotions surged inside them.

How was this possible?

How could he still be alive?

Some people’s legs were trembling. This face was a nightmare for warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Warriors of the Violet Heavenly Palace didn’t feel any better. Their hearts shuddered violently. The Renhuang warrior had lifted one arm, but he could not stretch it out. Even though he was at Renhuang level, he didn’t dare attack when he saw this face.

“The Celestial Lord!”

Many warriors of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven saluted. Seeing that figure, many warriors of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven had the impulse to worship him, no matter what kind of role the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven played in the battle.

For the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, Gu Tianxing’s existence was a symbol, a mark engraved on the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven.

He represented an era.

A celestial lord who was unparalleled in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Warriors of the Brahma’s Pure Sky and 10,000 Divine Mountain all looked solemn. Regardless of if they were friends or foes, they all paid respect to Gu Tianxing because he was a legend of one generation, a god-like figure.

The crowd was enormous below the Purple Underground Sect. Even countless people in the city looked up at the sky and were stirred.

They all had a rough idea of the identity of the person.

Gu Tianxing.

Was he alive?

Gu Dongliu had just said that by the time he returned, the Dynasty and the Palace would perish.

Was he back now?

If Gu Tianxing didn’t die, it would indeed be a disaster for the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace.

“It is just an illusion created by the Wills, not the person himself.”

At this time, the Renhuang of the Heavenly Mandate Realm spoke up. When he spoke, the figure above the sky turned to him and gave him an emotionless glance. The Renhuang was threatened by this one glance and put down his arm, didn’t dare take action anymore.

Even the Renhuang of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty didn’t dare try; neither did the Renhuang of the Violet Heavenly Palace.

No one dared to move.

Bathed in the celestial light, Gu Dongliu constantly rose and landed next to Gu Tianxing. Wind and clouds rumbled above the sky dome. The extremely dazzling celestial light diffused in the air.

A beam of celestial light swept across the sky dome, and suddenly, these two figures disappeared into the distance.

“They are gone.”

The arms of the Renhuang of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty shivered. He just watched as Gu Dongliu was taken away. He stepped out and released his mind as if trying to follow the direction in which they had left.

The Renhuang of the Violet Heavenly Palace also stepped out. They also felt that that was not the real Gu Tianxing.

If Gu Tianxing had come here today, perhaps nobody of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty would survive.

Everyone knew the grudge between Gu Tianxing and the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, which would not cease without another slaughter. During the battle of that time, countless corpses of both sides lay on the battlefield.

The Emperor of Purple Underground took a deep breath. He didn’t even figure out the sealing force hidden inside Gu Dongliu. What did that mean?

However, he also secretly felt glad that he did not; otherwise, he would have had no idea what situation he would have to face today.

Gu Tianxing’s appearance would probably lead to another bloody storm in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Was he really alive?
