"What do you have to act on behalf of the heavens?"
Gu Qingfeng raised his cup to drink, speaking indifferently. With a slight lift of his hand, a *bang* sounded as a bloody hole exploded in Yu Zhentian's abdomen. A sacred and pure radiance floated out from within, landing in Gu Qingfeng's hand.
It was a seed!
But it was not the Radiant Seed bestowed by the Immortal Dynasty.
It was the Edict Seed bestowed by the Immortal Dao!
The seed of the Immortal Dao Edict was now held in Gu Qingfeng's palm. He still did not glance at it. His five fingers simply closed, and with a series of crisp *crackling* sounds, the seed of the Immortal Dao Edict was crushed by him, dispersing and vanishing, leaving only a pile of residue like sand.
"Is this worthless thing what you use to act on behalf of the heavens?"
As his words fell, Gu Qingfeng waved his hand. The seed of the Immortal Dao Edict dissipated into nothingness, this time without even leaving residue.
At this moment.
Yu Zhentian knelt on the ground, disheveled and filthy. Not only were his seven orifices bleeding, but every pore on his body was also oozing blood. He was left with only his last breath, unable to draw another. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word could come out.
"What?
Wanting someone to save you?"
Gu Qingfeng stood up, walked over, and raised his hand. With a *crack*, he forcibly tore Yu Zhentian's head from his neck. His hand rose and fell again, another *crack*, as he reattached Yu Zhentian's head. The only difference was that previously Yu Zhentian's head faced forward, but now it faced backward, looking directly at the Dao practitioners opposite.
"Open your eyes and see clearly for me. Among those people opposite, every single one of them, plus those in the sky and underground, who dares to save you?"
No one dared!
Those in the sky and underground did not know.
But the Dao practitioners present here, whether from the Heavenly Dao or the Immortal Dao, whether from the Monster Dao or the Devil Dao, even Xuanyuan Wan from the Sacred Ground—none of them made a move. They simply stared, their expressions changing repeatedly. Especially Danqing, the Immortal Dao ruler of this world, whose furious eyes were filled with lethal intent, his teeth gritted.
"Amitabha!"
Pudu, the Buddha Dao ruler of this world, clasped his hands together and uttered a Buddhist phrase, saying, "This person bearing the Immortal Dao Edict, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, acted recklessly and offended. We hope Fellow Daoist Gu will show mercy."
"And if I don't show mercy, what can you do about it!"
With that!
Gu Qingfeng's hand rose and his palm fell. With a *bang*, a single slap caused Yu Zhentian's physical body to explode, flesh and blood flying everywhere. A wisp of faint smoke drifted out—it was Yu Zhentian's soul.
"Sinful wretch!
Yu Zhentian is a person of our Immortal Dao Edict! If you dare to erase him today, our Immortal Dao..." Danqing could no longer endure and issued a threat, but before he could finish his sentence, Gu Qingfeng opposite him waved his hand, and Yu Zhentian's soul also turned to dust and vanished.
"I've already killed him."
Gu Qingfeng patted his hands, as if clearing away residual force, then sat back on the stone, picked up his wine cup, and drained it in one gulp. Looking at Danqing, he said lightly, "Go on, what does your Immortal Dao plan to do with me?"
"You!"
The Danqing here was no longer an immortal of transcendent grace. Furious and humiliated, he pointed at Gu Qingfeng, but that was all he did—nothing more.
Watching this scene.
Bei Changqing and the others in the distance, Wan Huaiyu, Qin Hao, and even the Peach Blossom Old Daoist, as well as Su Hua and Qian Shan, were all stunned, horrified and dumbfounded.
Before this, they too had mostly believed Gu Qingfeng would not dare to act.
After all, they all knew these Dao practitioners had come to kill Gu Qingfeng. Leaving aside their own strength for the moment, they were either the law enforcers of this world's Dao, its guardians, or its rulers.
In other words, even if their own strength was insufficient, they could all mobilize the power of this world's Dao to erase Gu Qingfeng.
Not to mention there was also the even more terrifying Xuanyuan Wan from the Sacred Ground present.
Was that all?
No!
At this very moment, Gu Qingfeng was still heavily enveloped by the overwhelming Killing Intent—that terrifying Killing Intent from beyond the Great Daos. Anyone thinking with their toes would know the figures behind it were absolutely Venerables of the Heaven and Earth Great Daos, and the Killing Intent was countless in number.
Even so.
Gu Qingfeng still acted.
Not only did he act.
He also, in front of the Immortal Dao practitioners, extracted the Immortal Dao Edict from within Yu Zhentian's body and crushed it to pieces. And in front of all the Dao practitioners, in front of all the great figures behind the Killing Intent, he simply erased Yu Zhentian.
What did this mean?
Was this provocation?
No!
This was not provocation.
It was humiliation.
Barefaced humiliation!
It humiliated not only the Immortal Dao, but also the Three Thousand Great Daos enveloping Gu Qingfeng.
No one dared to do this.
Absolutely no one.
Wan Huaiyu and Qin Hao, whose previous lives were as Profound Lords of the Heavenly Realm, and Su Hua, whose previous life was as a Nine Heavens Profound Maiden, all knew that not to mention this world, even in the Great Desolate Heavenly Realm, there were absolutely few who dared to do such a thing.
Now Gu Qingfeng had done it.
And he had done it utterly thoroughly.
What made Su Hua, Wan Huaiyu, and the others even more incredulous was that even after Gu Qingfeng destroyed the Immortal Dao Edict and killed Yu Zhentian right before their eyes, these people hadn't even let out a peep.
It wasn't that they didn't.
It was that they didn't dare.
They could all see that whether it was Danqing, Chaoyuan, or other Immortal Dao or Heavenly Dao practitioners, their faces bore the same expression—one of suppressed fury, not daring to speak out!
Why!
Weren't they here to kill Gu Qingfeng?
Why were they so fearful when facing Gu Qingfeng?
Even the Killing Intent enveloping Gu Qingfeng showed no reaction.
Were they afraid?
Apprehensive?
Perhaps.
But more than that, at this moment they dared not and could not fight Gu Qingfeng. At least before the Light of Heavenly Mandate disappeared, before the Blood of Original Sin stabilized, none of them dared to rashly move against Gu Qingfeng.
Their purpose this time was the Blood of Original Sin; Gu Qingfeng was secondary.
Gu Qingfeng's existence was a great threat, but the existence of the Blood of Original Sin was an even greater threat.
Whether it was the Dao practitioners present or the various sources of the Killing Intent enveloping Gu Qingfeng, none of them knew exactly how powerful Gu Qingfeng's strength was, nor could they predict what would happen once a fight broke out.
If the various Great Dao experts joined forces to erase Gu Qingfeng, what if the Blood of Original Sin underwent a change?
If only Gu Qingfeng alone were contending for the Blood of Original Sin, then things would still be manageable.
But the key was it wasn't just Gu Qingfeng.
There was also Canyang Wuyou inside.
At the same time, who could guarantee others belonging to the Daoless Age wouldn't come to seize it?
No one could guarantee it.
And Xuanyuan Wan knew that others belonging to the Daoless Age were already watching this place.
They didn't know how terrifying Gu Qingfeng truly was, nor how terrifying those belonging to the Daoless Age were, nor how terrifying the Blood of Original Sin was. Everything was unknown. Therefore, before this, they dared not act rashly. Only by first sealing the Blood of Original Sin would they have no further worries. So, they were all waiting, waiting for the Light of Heavenly Mandate of the Blood of Original Sin to disappear.
