“Even now, even with the masters here… brother, will you still not admit it?”

“How are you going to explain this?”

“You’ve lied to us for so long!”

Ying Yu’s voice trembled as she witnessed the scene in front of her. Her expression froze, the look of shock and betrayal on her face spoke volumes about what she thought of Yin Shuang. In her mind, Yin Shuang was already labelled as the Demonic Arts Inheritor.

After all, she had never even gotten a glimpse of the three Great Sacred Realm Cultivators in front of her. And yet, they spoke to Ying Shuang with such reverence.

The corner of Ying Shuang’s mouth drooped bitterly.

Explain? Could he explain anything? Would it even do anything?

“Shut up, little girl!”

“Is the Inheritor someone you can address so casually?! You’re courting death!”

Suddenly, one of the dark cultivator’s eyes turned cold, divine rays lashing out. He grew furious and murderous upon hearing Ying Yu’s disrespectful words. With his palm, he made a falling motion, as he activated a divine technique.

Gathering the Heavens and Earth in one’s palm. Laws and Orders of the realm fell from the sky like a rain of meteors, like a great wheel tearing the universe asunder and threatening to rip the world apart in a single blow!

Just the aftermath of the strike alone was an unbearable experience for those standing from afar.

It was an attack from a Great Sacred Realm cultivator, directed at Ying Yu, a cultivator at the Quasi-Sacred Realm. She won’t be able to fight back at all! The attack was of such magnitude that it rendered any resistance futile. Moreover, her golden Ancient Bell was currently fending off Ying Shuang, making it all the more difficult to escape or defend herself.

“Young Lady…!”

“No! Hurry up and protect the Young Lady!” The expressions of everyone from the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain drastically changed, as they quickly shot their strongest offensive and defensive skills, in an attempt to resist the strike.

Alas, they could not even match the aftermath, their bodies exploding on contact–

Puff!

Blowing them into a cloud of blood mist.

The power of the Great Sacred Realm was boundless, and they felt like ants in front of a human.

Soon, the other two Great Sacred Realm cultivators also pitched in, attacking the rest of the followers.

Merciless. They didn’t care less if this made the situation any worse. As they proceeded with this act of violence, their bloodlust pierced the very heavens, threatening to obliterate everyone in the vicinity.

Such a scene made the people’s hearts fall into despair… how could this have happened? Why did they have to be so foolish as to come here and die when they could have very well just observed this calamity from afar?

For a time, this accursed place grew more tragic than ever before. Blood and corpses sprayed everywhere, heralding the deaths of innumerable souls.

“Their blood pierces the sky, with so many of our young disciples dead… even if Emperor Ying were to be reborn now, it would no longer be possible to protect Prince Ying…”

Ye Langtian sacrificed a Divine Weapon to protect the people behind him, his expression ghostly pale.

“Ying Shuang, have you gone so mad that you want to kill even me, your own sister?!”

Faced with the palm strike of a Great Sacred Realm Cultivator, Ying Yu’s complexion turned pale and desperate, her spirit swaying, as she knew it would be impossible to resist this blow.

She hopelessly glared at Ying Shuang with cold and distant eyes.

The pain of betrayal was a pain stronger than any.

“Stop it now…”

Ying Shuang opened his mouth, wanting to stop the dark cultivator. Yet, when the Great Sacred Realm shadow heard those words, only a hint of playful teasing could be seen within his merciless pupils. The palm strike did not stop at all. Ying Shuang’s supposed ‘servant’ simply ignored his ‘master’, and tried to kill Ying Yu anyway.

“Young Lady!”

Everyone from Emperor’s Mountain shrieked in terror, their eyes red with anger and despair. They did not expect that the Young Lady would have to die at the hands of her own brother today.

After becoming the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor, this Ying Shuang no longer cared about family affection, and had become a devil who abandoned the world!

At this moment, Ying Yu couldn’t help but close her eyes in despair.

Her greatest life-saving method was the golden Ancient Bell inside her soul.

Other than that, there was no other way to resist this blow.

However, in the next moment, the pain she dreaded did not come, and was instead replaced by the warm and peaceful tone of someone familiar, transmitted directly into her ear.

Terrifying fluctuations erupted in front of her, as a certain Great Sacred-grade Divine Weapon blocked the palm of the Great Sacred Realm cultivator.

“Fortunately, I didn’t arrive too late.”

Hearing this, Ying Yu suddenly opened her eyes.

Widening in disbelief.

At some point in time, a young figure had suddenly appeared in front of her. Clothed in white, the youth wasn’t that much taller than she was, yet his back seemed so massive as he stood there, as if nothing in the world could ever topple it.

Jet-black hair fluttered in the wind.

His indifferent demeanour remained. Even in the face of such a situation, he neither rushed nor hurried.

A mighty giant that would prop up the sky if it ever were to fall.

Gu Changge, who had been watching the show for quite a while now, finally showed up.

“Young Master Gu…”

Ying Yu subconsciously murmured these three words.

She didn’t know when, but in those silver, jewel-like eyes, the view of this man’s back had long been engraved. Into a scene that would never be forgotten, no matter how much time might pass.

“Young Master Changge!”

“It’s Young Master Changge! We are saved!”

“Young Master Changge came to save us!”

At this moment, the eight cardinal directions that had been silent just moments before, exploded into a roar! Everyone stared at the solemn figure in the sky, and they couldn’t help but become ecstatic, as if the mere sight of the white-robed youth had already saved them from this catastrophe. “Brother Gu is finally here. If you had been a step slower… I’m afraid we would have all had to die with lingering regrets today… “

“However, there are three Great Sacred Realm cultivators present, even for Brother Gu, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to deal with them.”

“I wonder how Brother Gu will handle the situation.”

Ye Langtian and the others breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but smile. They were more than a hundred times more relaxed than before.

At some point, Gu Changge had become the representative of stability in the eyes of these geniuses. With him around, all crises, and all calamities, could be suppressed without a single doubt. Even the Forbidden Demonic Arts’ Inheritor was no exception!

“Foolish junior who doesn’t recognize the immensity of heaven and earth! Are you courting death?!” The dark cultivator seemed furious at having his palm blocked.

Strands of golden light slowly started to coalesce within his eyes.

He stared closely at Gu Changge, paying attention to the Ancient Mirror he held in his hands, shining with a faint murderous aura.

It was using this Ancient Mirror that Gu Changge had resisted his strike.

Hope rose in everyone’s hearts as they watched the dark cultivator’s reactions. Gu Changge was a man of many methods. And since he dared to come here, he must have a way; otherwise, it’d be impossible for him to stand in front of Ying Yu and save her life without fear of repercussions.

“Gu Changge!”

Ying Shuang looked at Gu Changge as well, but rather than relief, veins popped from his forehead, as he glared with an intense and searing hatred, killing intent practically beaming from his eyes.

If it wasn’t for the golden Ancient Bell, he would have rushed over to kill Gu Changge on the spot.

The others might not know, but how could he not?!

He understood that all of this nonsense was probably just Gu Changge’s self-directed and self-acted ploy, made in order to save Ying Yu. Even the attack from earlier was likely to be nothing more than a plot made to smear his name!

But Gu Changge didn’t give a damn about his ugly expression.

Nor did he care about the three Great Sacred cultivators in front of him.

He simply continued the act as if everything was as it should be.

“My, my, Brother Ying. Why must you be so obsessed with this evil power? If you just abolish the Forbidden Demonic Arts, maybe we can sit down, have a glass of wine and have a good talk between you and me.”

“Was it really worth it, in the end? Everyone knows what you are now. The world is your enemy.”

“The Forbidden Demonic Arts is something that should have disappeared long ago within the river of time. Your greed will only lead to your downfall.”

Gu Changge sighed and spoke in a lamentable tone.

“GU! CHANG! GE! You despicable villain! You’re the one who is responsible for all this!!!”

“If it wasn’t for you, why would I be what I am now? Don’t pretend to be a saint!” Hearing his words, Ying Shuang almost exploded with rage, his formerly calm demeanor shattering.

The young prince wished for nothing more than to slaughter Gu Changge and wash off this humiliation!

How could he let the one who clearly framed him act so upright and awe-inspiring like this?

Why was there such a shameless person living in this world?!

“I know you will hate me for this, but if I don’t, then many cultivators would die, either assassinated or consumed by you. The moment you exposed your identity… I’m afraid there was no other way this could have gone.”

“Although this Gu doesn’t claim to be a good person, there are still lines that cannot be crossed in the world of cultivation. Things that must never be done no matter how desperate one is…”

As he spoke, Gu Changge shook his head with pity in his eyes.

But he soon straightened his expression, as a cold chill spread across his face.

“And trying to massacre your peers, even your own sister, has crossed this line by thousands of miles.”

“In this world, how can there be a person as heartless as you?”

“Gu Changge…!”

“Only you! Only you could spout this bullshit with a straight face!”

Ying Shuang was so angry that he nearly vomited blood; it felt like his head was about to explode.

Had he ever felt like this before? Had he ever been so angered over mere words?

In the past, he had been very tolerant. He didn’t care for what others said about him.

But a false accusation? Spoken in front of everyone by the real perpetrator of the entire situation as if he was the saviour of the world?!

“Please rest assured, Inheritor. We shall strike him down!”

“Including him, no one can leave here alive!”

Seeing his sudden meltdown, the three Great Sacred Realm cultivators hid their smirks and spoke in unison, their gazes returning to indifference as they approached Gu Changge, beginning their attack.

The terrifying majesty of the Great Sacred Realm permeated between the Heavens and the Earth.

In the horizon, dreadful figures sat cross-legged, their faces blurred, encircling the area to prevent anyone from fleeing.

“Young Master Gu, be careful!!”

A fearful Ying Yu couldn’t help but warn him aloud.

“Do not worry!”

Gu Changge gave a slight smile as bright divine rays of light appeared in his hands.

The incomparably astonishing rays of divine light pervaded with a terrifying aura.

A series of Laws and Order and a Great Chain of Deities appeared to be intertwining in different realms, evolving into a cauldron capable of melting the heavens and the earth!

The countless Young Supremes and creatures in the area all trembled, as they felt a frightening sensation.

Their Primordial Spirits were frozen, as if everything was about to come to an end and be smelted down, returning to chaos!

Buzz!

A very vague but solid cauldron appeared in Gu Changge’s hand, red clouds bloomed, with hundreds of millions of strands. From within emerged the aura of the Great Dao!

“It’s the most powerful technique of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, the Myriad Ways Cauldron, which can melt anything in ten-thousand ways, removing it from existence…”

Someone immediately recognized it, as they spoke in a distressed tone.

“However, with Young Master Changge’s strength, even if he uses such a powerful technique, he still won’t be able to stop the three Great Sacred Realm cultivators!”

At this moment, the three Great Sacred Realm cultivators made a move, and appeared in front of Gu Changge, attempting to stop him.

Buzz!

The sky trembled under their vast and terrifying momentum!

It was like an endless eruption of divine light, terrifying to the extreme, as the Laws heralded by the Great Sacred Realm cultivators seemed to tear through everything itself.

Boom!

The void shattered.

However, the three couldn’t believe what happened next…

An incomparably divine aura emerged, accompanied by scenes of mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and the universe itself.

Its brilliance was such that the Laws and Orders of Heaven and Earth began to permeate throughout the void!

Sizzle!

“A Supreme-grade weapon!”

“Young Master Changge holds in his hands a Supreme-grade weapon!”

“Could it be a treasure bestowed to him by the Immortal Gu Family? But even so… it’s unbelievable!”

In the next moment, the people lost their voices in horror, as they noticed the fluctuations. Unfortunately, it was difficult to identify what this weapon was.

But even so, the energy it radiated was enough to shock the whole world!

In today’s younger generation, only the descendants of an emperor had such a weapon. But now, there was another.

How terrifying!

How much more does Gu Changge have to reveal to the world?

He was truly the best among his generation!

“Not good…”

Seeing this, the three changed their colours and couldn’t help but make a hasty retreat.

With the golden Ancient Bell keeping the Prince at bay, it would be difficult to do anything.

Everyone felt the same way. Unless they were stupid, they wouldn’t dare mess with a Supreme-grade Weapon.

A cultivator of the Great Sacred Realm? The Quasi-Supreme Realm? In front of a true Supreme-grade Weapon, they would be no different than ants.

Puff!

Gu Changge paled a bit, spurting a mouthful of blood… it would seem that using this weapon was taking a great toll on him.

Divine lights of many colours began to emanate from his body, as a chaotic energy spread throughout his body. His bones and veins burst with an astounding amount of divine energy, as they struggled to sustain him.

The scene made everyone tremble, and then they couldn’t help but admire and awe.

To ‘awaken’ such an item, let alone strike with it, requires an immense amount of energy.

With their abilities, if they tried to awaken an Artifact of similar magnitude, they would be completely drained in an instant.

But even now, Gu Changge stood strong and supported the immense requirements, a feat which earned him their admiration!

“Young Master Changge does not hesitate to act for the sake of the world! His great righteousness is worthy of admiration from all!”

The younger generation was filled with admiration, some with fanaticism in their eyes.

Hearing it was one thing, but to see it with their own eyes was another. Deep within each of them, a flame was lit.

At this time, the three also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and looked at each other a few times. Their expressions changed suddenly…

“Not good… we’re leaving, now!”

Hearing what they said, many of the younger generations were relieved. They feared that these three would go berserk and just bury them on the spot.

The 3 Great Sacred Realm cultivators shot forward and left the place, forcibly taking an angered and cold Ying Shuang with them.

They then quickly vanished.

Even the power of the Ancient Bell which covered the eight directions quickly dissipated.

It was only then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They survived the catastrophe, but the near-death experience was still fresh in their minds.

Everyone here felt that they owed a debt of gratitude to Gu Changge. Without him, they would’ve all died here today.

Gu Changge watched as Ying Shuang was taken, making no move to stop or pursue them.

Then he retrieved the Artifact floating in the chaotic fog. This was the Xianlun Seal, but Gu Changge used some methods to conceal its true aura so that it would not be recognized.

He then glanced at Ying Yu, heaving a sigh as he shook his head, “It’s a pity…”

“Young Master Changge, please don’t blame yourself. You did everything that you could. I never expected Ying Shuang to have backers. Today’s events were breaking news to us all.”

Ying Yu hurriedly spoke, telling him not to blame himself.

Gu Changge already did so much, whether it was rescuing her or standing up against the three Great Sacred Realm cultivators to save everyone.

Soon, everyone from the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain had come forward, offering Gu Changge their gratitude.

“What an eventful season!”

Gu Changge stated with a sigh.

But as soon as he said the words, he nearly fell over and spurted blood, staining his clothes. It seemed as though using the Supreme-grade Artifact took quite a toll on his body.

“Young Master Changge!”

“Young Master Changge, are you alright? Here, please, take these medicines.”

“I have some here too!”

The scene gripped the people’s hearts, as their faces twisted with concern. One after the other, they offered him their various remedies.

“It’s okay, thank you for your concern. I’ll be fine.”

Gu Changge smiled slightly, wearing a very natural expression as he waved to everyone.

[Later in the day]

Ye Langtian, Wang Wushuang, Chi Ling, and the others had rushed to recount the old days with him, all of them carrying lingering fears.

Soon afterwards, what happened here quickly spread. Like wildfire, it spread throughout the whole of the All-Devouring Sky’s Battlefield. Even the Profound Heaven and the Upper Realm had heard of the news. It was a sensation.

The various Daoist forces were furious!

Many of the younger generations had suffered and died there, causing a tumultuous earthquake that shook the land.

Among them, the Qilin clan of the Demon Realm and the Kingdom of Eternal Flame held the deepest rage!

The Inheritor of the Demonic Arts had been born, and they had utilized a Supreme-grade Weapon to slaughter many Young Supremes, causing terrible waves that rendered many cultivators angry, uneasy, and fearful.

Moreover, the prince’s demonic origins had also surfaced, instilling a great deal of fear and surprise amongst the populace.

After all, the opponent was none other than three Great Sacred Realm cultivators!

If it weren’t for Young Master Changge’s timely arrival, there was a high chance that many more would have perished. No one would have survived!

The prince’s cruelty knew no bounds!

In this regard, Gu Changge’s reputation had once again peaked. After all, it was his timely intervention that had saved them.

Such an act earned him the graces of countless others!

After this incident, the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain immediately issued a decree that they had nothing to do with Ying Shuang’s actions. Everything he did was instigated by him and executed by him alone.

Naturally, even with the decree, it wasn’t enough to alleviate the anger of the masses.

Many Daoist forces have demanded just compensation from the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain.

For a time, the waters of the Upper Realm grew turbulent.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

In a solitary mountain on the All-Devouring Battlefield…

Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, robe fluttering in the wind.

He stood, looking down calmly and indifferently at the dotted figures below.

“Master, we have finished the task as per your instructions.”

“After taking the Prince away, we searched for a desolate place, and threw him aside, making him fend for himself. We stated that someone would soon come for him, so he need not worry.”

The figures of the three Great Sacred Realm cultivators stood respectfully behind him, giving him their full report.

Although they were puppets, they held a certain degree of intelact. Since Gu Changge had refined them, it would be impossible for them to betray him.

As such, he needn’t worry about such things.

‘After losing the Heavenly Emperor’s Mountain’s support, Ying Shuang’s fortune is almost at its end. He is now but a helpless man; I hope my estimates are right…’

‘Without the Demonic Organization, he is nothing.’

‘In that case, I can only kill him and see if the drops are good.’

Gu Changge nodded, his expression thoughtful.

In the eyes of many, Ying Shuang was abducted by the Demonic Organization.

If Gu Changge simply destroyed them at that time, Ying Shuang would have been carrying the blame even after his death right now.

But Gu Changge didn’t do that. He needed to lure the real Demonic Organisation out first, and Ying Shuang was the perfect bait.

‘Now to consider the question of who the other Demonic Arts’ Inheritor actually is…’

Gu Changge’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow. He had previously asked Yan Ji to check on something….

[At the same time]

[In a splendid pavilion, Profound Heaven]

“I wonder why Princess Mingkong has come looking for me…”

Ying Yu had a haggard face after having just left the All-Devouring Battlefield.

With silver eyes, she looked directly at the beautiful woman in front of her, unable to help but frown.

She couldn’t stand the arrogant look that the other party was giving her.

The one in front of her was no ordinary woman.

She was a proud and graceful Empress of the Ninth Heaven!

Although she was also a daughter of an Emperor, and they were supposed of equal status, she couldn’t help but feel a bit small when compared to the other party.

Ying Yu didn’t know why Yue Mingkong had approached her.

At this period of time, she was very busy, and incredibly exhausted because of Ying Shuang’s deeds.

“Of course, I have something to tell you.”

“I advise you not to have any unnecessary feelings for Gu Changge.”

“I am saving you, but I am also warning you.”

Yue Mingkong’s calm voice had finally graced her ears.

As soon as she finished, she withdrew the gaze of her tranquil eyes from the damsel that Gu Changge had “heroically” saved.
