“Prepare to activate the formation.”
Standing above the clouds, Gu Lingxiao looked down upon all living beings of the Sky Vault Continent and spoke calmly.
The Holy Lord of the Azure Sovereign Holy Land immediately nodded and relayed Gu Lingxiao’s command to everyone responsible for arranging the formation.
Boom!!!
A thunderous roar erupted from the cloud summit. Massive amounts of spiritual energy almost condensed into tangible form, causing countless experts to covet it greedily.
Cultivators from all directions turned their gazes toward this place, recalling the Holy Lord’s previous warning.
Yet there were always those unafraid of death, coveting the disturbance here.
“Hahaha, when a treasure appears, it belongs to the capable!”
Some cultivators mistook the phenomenon for the birth of a supreme treasure.
“It is the Hidden Dragon Emperor!”
“It is said that before the age of one thousand years, his cultivation was weak and he was bullied by all. But after reaching one thousand years, he rose in a single stroke to the Emperor Realm and killed all who had once humiliated him.”
“This will be interesting. Hundreds of years ago, he challenged experts across the world and never suffered defeat. Who knows how terrifying his strength has become now?”
“Even the Holy Lord of the Azure Sovereign Holy Land might not be able to handle him, right?”
The murmurs entered his ears, but Gu Lingxiao could not be bothered with this so-called Hidden Dragon Emperor.
Seeing this, Lingyue lightly pointed toward the Hidden Dragon Emperor.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword qi pierced through his body. His eyes widened in disbelief, as if he could not accept that he had been instantly killed so effortlessly.
His corpse fell rapidly from the sky, crashing onto a massive rock and smashing a deep crater into it.
His body and soul were completely destroyed.
The onlookers stared at the corpse of the Hidden Dragon Emperor in shock.
A figure renowned throughout the entire Sky Vault Continent had died just like that?
Simply because a little girl casually pointed a finger?
Those who had intended to seize treasures immediately abandoned their thoughts.
“If anyone dares show disrespect to my Master again, this will be your fate.”
Lingyue spoke calmly. Though her frame was small, her aura was unstoppable.
The vast majority of cultivators lowered their heads and said nothing.
A few who muttered stubbornly were noticed by Lingyue.
With a single “bang,” their heads exploded like watermelons, blood and brain matter splattering onto nearby cultivators.
After that, no one dared utter another word.
No matter how much greed remained in their hearts, they could only retreat.
The [Heaven-Binding Grand Formation] connected the entire continent. Massive spiritual power gathered together before erupting outward, forming an inverted bowl that covered the Sky Vault Continent. New chapters come out on g.com first.
All cultivators on the continent felt an oppressive aura descend.
Yet this oppressive sensation lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.
Standing at the center of the formation, Gu Lingxiao used overwhelming power to invade the Heavenly Dao of this world.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky. Purple lightning flickered within the black clouds, as though determined to annihilate this foreign invader.
Gu Lingxiao felt a will resisting him, unwilling to allow his intrusion.
But this was insignificant to him.
Controlling the formation, he forcefully extracted the world’s power and used that very power to suppress its Heavenly Dao.
The weak Heavenly Dao could not contend with him. After only a few breaths, it was completely suppressed.
The dark clouds dissipated, and the lightning vanished as if it had never existed.
With the Heavenly Dao suppressed, everything became much easier.
Gu Lingxiao borrowed its authority and power, beginning to search for special spatial nodes.
This time, the hidden passage concealed by that expert finally revealed itself.
“So it was hidden here. Quite a concealed location.”
Gu Lingxiao sneered and immediately teleported to where the spatial passage lay.
It was located deep within a primitive forest. Towering trees blocked out the sky, and countless demonic beasts lived there.
On the surface, there was nothing unusual about the space.
But when Gu Lingxiao activated it using spatial laws, a spatial passage appeared before him, its other end engulfed in endless darkness.
This was the gateway to another world.
However, aside from the passage, there were two small “insects” hiding nearby for reasons unknown.
Gu Lingxiao reached out and grasped into the void ahead. Two elderly men appeared before him.
One wore blue robes, the other white.
They looked at Gu Lingxiao in terror, not expecting to be discovered.
“Speak. Tell me about the other world.”
Gu Lingxiao’s face remained expressionless.
“Young man, what are you talking about? We have no idea.”
The blue-robed elder had seen much in his life and quickly regained composure.
“Enough. I do not have the patience for nonsense.” This story is hosted at g.com.
The cultivation of these two elders was two major realms higher than that of the Hidden Dragon Emperor.
According to the realm classification of the Chaotic Immortal Domain, they had already reached the Immortal Realm.
In the Chaotic Immortal Domain, cultivation was divided into six major realms: Mortal, Immortal, Divine, Emperor, Saint, and Dao.
The Mortal Realm itself contained more than a dozen stages, with the final stage called the Ascension Realm, just one step away from Immortal.
The Hidden Dragon Emperor and the Holy Lord both stood at that level.
It was the highest attainable cultivation in such a small, low-tier world.
The Immortal Realm was further divided into several sub-realms: Quasi-Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal Venerable, and Immortal King.
Each was further divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages.
The two elders before him were both at the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.
In this world where the Ascension Realm reigned supreme, they were undoubtedly its true rulers.
Yet in Gu Lingxiao’s eyes, such cultivation was still insignificant.
Since they wished to feign ignorance, Gu Lingxiao directly used the Soul-Searching Technique.
As a villain, such a ruthless yet efficient method was exactly what he would choose.
“Oh? Interesting.”
Within only a few breaths, Gu Lingxiao had already learned their identities and the reason they guarded this place.
First, their identities.
One had once been called the Azure Emperor, the other the Blue Emperor.
Their unmatched strength and legendary achievements had led the entire continent to be named after them—the Sky Vault Continent.
Both had left behind their Inheritance here.
The Azure Sovereign Holy Land and the Blue Emperor Holy Land were their respective legacies and remained among the two strongest forces on the continent.
As the supreme experts of the continent, they had vowed to protect it.
With the two of them guarding it, the continent had enjoyed long periods of peace.
But peace did not last.
An expert from the other world had accidentally opened the spatial passage during cultivation.
That other world was far stronger than the Sky Vault Continent and soon harbored intentions of invasion.
Fortunately, when entering this world, those invaders were rejected by its Heavenly Dao and treated as outsiders.
Unlike Gu Lingxiao, whose strength far surpassed the Heavenly Dao, they were suppressed by it.
With its Blue Emperor and Azure Emperor defending the continent, they could still hold the line.
However, a new problem soon arose.
