The Immortal Dao Judgment vanished.
The Buddha Dao Judgment vanished as well.
The judgments of the Three Thousand Great Daos vanished, and even the Judgment of the Heavenly Dao ceased to appear.
Yet.
The heavens still collapsed.
The earth still quaked and split.
The world still trembled.
The Myriad Phenomena still transformed, Purgatory still burned and devoured, and All Beings and All Deaths still paid homage.
The white robes still fluttered.
The black hair still danced wildly.
That pair of blood-red eyes still seethed.
Gu Qingfeng, transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, stood in the sky like a god. He slightly raised his head and, with a lift of his hand, pointed at the collapsing firmament, roaring sharply, "Heavenly Dao, roll down here and fight me!"
The Heavenly Dao did not respond.
Instead, it chose silence.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao could not see or hear Gu Qingfeng's provocation?
No.
On the contrary, whether it was Da Xing the Mad Monk or Xuanyuan Wan, they both knew the Heavenly Dao not only saw and heard, but saw more clearly and heard more distinctly than anyone else.
If so!
Why did the Heavenly Dao choose silence?
Was the Heavenly Dao afraid?
Perhaps.
Who wasn't afraid?
Gu Qingfeng had already stepped onto six Great Daos, all of them Forbidden Great Daos. Moreover, he had transformed into the Avici Uninterrupted Evil Asura, receiving the homage of All Beings and All Deaths. He had even destroyed the Bright Dharma Form of the Immortal Dao's Purification Dragon and the Sacred Dharma Form of the Buddha Dao's Five Wisdom Kings. Who among the Three Thousand Great Daos was not afraid?
Who dared not be afraid?
The Heavenly Dao might claim to rule this Heaven and Earth.
But that was merely a claim.
It might have been so in the Ancient Era.
But in the Current Era, who would rule Heaven and Earth remained an unknown.
Furthermore, the origins of the Immortal Dao and Buddha Dao were being re-derived, and the origin of the Heavenly Dao was no exception.
"Since you won't come down, then obediently go back and wait. When I, your father, kill my way up to the Heavenly Dao, that will be the day of your Heavenly Dao's demise!"
With that.
Gu Qingfeng raised his hand and gave a shake, causing All Beings and All Deaths to erupt with ten thousand zhang of chaotic radiance. The radiance shot skyward like a flood dragon, piercing through the clouds, penetrating the world's barrier, and charging straight into the firmament.
Who dared to so wantonly and lawlessly openly challenge the Heavenly Dao like this?
Throughout Heaven and Earth, throughout past and present.
There were some.
Gu Qingfeng was not the first, nor could he be the last, but he was absolutely the most insane and arrogant one in history—insane enough to make the Heavenly Dao cower and fall silent, arrogant enough to dare deliver a declaration of war directly to the firmament.
Silence.
Utter silence.
Boundless stillness.
Endless dead silence.
Only a single Blood Moon still hung in the sky.
It seemed completely unaffected. The judgments of the Three Thousand Great Daos had not affected it, nor had the radiance of the Nine Heavens Immortal Path, the sanctity of the Buddha Dao, or the Heavenly Dao. From beginning to end, the Blood Moon had simply rotated in the sky.
Xuanyuan Wan knew this was a Blood Moon belonging to the Daoless Age.
But that was all.
Beyond that, she knew nothing about the Blood Moon.
Gazing at the rotating Blood Moon and at Gu Qingfeng here, Xuanyuan Wan's heart was filled with fear. She knew Gu Qingfeng had fused Xiao Jin'er's Blood Spirit into himself. Influenced by the Blood Moon, the Original Sin Blood sealed in Gu Qingfeng's left arm had already awakened and was gradually eroding his flesh.
What frightened her even more was that, facing the Original Sin Blood eroding his entire body, Gu Qingfeng actually made no move to stop it.
Just as she was at a loss, Gu Qingfeng suddenly moved. He took a step forward, heading toward the Blood Moon.
What was he doing?
What did he want to do?
Xuanyuan Wan was so terrified her face turned ashen. She stood up, preparing to do something, but it was too late. As Gu Qingfeng leaped up, he directly charged into the Blood Moon.
Gu Qingfeng spread his arms wide.
The Path of the Absolute, the Path of Silence, the Path of Life, the Path of Death, the Path of Slaughter, the Path of Purgatory—all six Forbidden Great Daos returned to his body.
The Myriad Phenomena and Purgatory transformed wildly, All Beings and All Deaths paid homage frantically.
Instantly.
The Blood Moon trembled!
Witnessing this scene, Xuanyuan Wan, who had just stood up, collapsed to the ground again in terror, trembling as she murmured, "Heavens!
He actually…
He actually intends to fuse the Blood Moon into himself…
How can he do this, how can he possibly do this…" Xuanyuan Wan could not believe it, could not accept it, and could not understand why Gu Qingfeng insisted on doing this.
Now, both the Immortal Dao and Buddha Dao had been beaten by him into not daring to show their faces again, and the Heavenly Dao had even chosen silence.
Under such circumstances, Gu Qingfeng should first release Xiao Jin'er's Blood Spirit to avoid the influence of the Blood Moon causing the Original Sin Blood to erode his entire body.
But Gu Qingfeng did not do this. Not only did he not release Xiao Jin'er's Blood Spirit, nor did he stop the Original Sin Blood from eroding his body, he instead madly sought to fuse the Blood Moon into himself!
Had he gone mad?
That was the Blood Moon of the Daoless Age, a Blood Moon capable of influencing the Original Sin Blood.
Why was he doing this?
Did he truly want the Original Sin Blood to erode his flesh and soul?
If.
If the Original Sin Blood eroded Gu Qingfeng's flesh and soul, what terrifying event would occur? Xuanyuan Wan did not know. She only knew that when it happened, something extremely, extremely terrifying would surely occur.
Yes.
She knew.
But facing the insane Gu Qingfeng, she was utterly powerless to stop him.
She could not stop him. No one could stop him.
If it could be stopped, the Heavenly Dao probably would not have chosen silence.
"Open for me!"
Gu Qingfeng roared to the heavens. All the acupoints throughout his body opened wide. Each acupoint was like a world unto itself, within which winds and clouds shifted, lightning flashed and thunder roared, all in chaos. As the chaos rotated, it madly absorbed the Blood Moon.
The Blood Moon began to blur and distort. The Myriad Phenomena transformed even more wildly, Purgatory burned and devoured even more fiercely, and the homage of All Beings and All Deaths grew increasingly frantic. Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng's blood-red eyes grew even more crimson and sinister, and his originally ink-black hair turned snow-white in this moment.
No one knew how long it lasted.
Truly, no one knew.
They only knew the Blood Moon grew increasingly blurred, as did the Myriad Phenomena, Purgatory, and All Beings and All Deaths.
Gradually.
The Blood Moon was no longer the Blood Moon, the Myriad Phenomena were no longer the Myriad Phenomena, Purgatory was no longer Purgatory, All Beings were no longer All Beings, and All Deaths were no longer All Deaths.
They became a mass of chaos.
Suddenly!
*Hummm*—A sound, ancient and profound, rumbled forth. It seemed to come from the heavens, yet also from the earth, and even from the ancient Primordial Era, as if a stone door sealed for billions of years was slowly opening.
When the sound came, it shook the hearts and minds of all living beings like a crushing force, and it shook the souls of endless immortals and devils. Even the Three Thousand Great Daos were shaken by this ancient sound, and even this world, even this Heaven and Earth, seemed affected by this sound, trembling violently.
Immediately after.
An aura of supreme sanctity instantly swept through the entire world.
That's right.
It was an aura of supreme sanctity.
Everyone had this feeling.
And in Heaven and Earth, what could be called an aura of supreme sanctity was only the Divine Saint.
This was the Divine Saint Breath.
It was a sanctity that made all living beings, all immortals and devils, and even the Great Daos themselves tremble with reverence.
*Hummm*—As the ancient sound continued to come, the Divine Saint Breath grew even stronger, and this world, this Heaven and Earth, trembled even more violently.
"Why has the Divine Saint Breath suddenly descended…" Xuanyuan Wan felt the Divine Saint Breath here with terror and dread. The more she felt it, the more panicked she became, especially since the Divine Saint Breath was accompanied by that ancient sound that shook everything.
"Divine Saint Breath, Primordial Gate, Profound Yellow Bell, Wrath of Heaven and Earth."
Xuanyuan Wan murmured, as if realizing something. In that instant, her heart grew even more terrified, even more horrified, and even more reverent.
She realized this was a Judgment.
A Judgment of the Divine Saint, and a Judgment of Heaven and Earth.
When the Primordial Gate opened, the Divine Saint Breath would descend.
When the Divine Saint Breath descended, the Profound Yellow Bell would ring.
When the Profound Yellow Bell rang, the Judgment of Heaven and Earth would appear.
"Could it be that the Divine Saint will judge him again?"
