Although they had withstood wave after wave of attacks, they were still unable to completely eradicate this external threat.
There were only two ways to resolve the crisis.
Either sever the Spatial Passage so the other side could no longer cross over.
Or pass through the Spatial Passage themselves and eliminate the powerful beings capable of threatening this world.
But neither option was something the two of them could accomplish for the time being.
After reading through their memories, Gu Lingxiao immediately connected the two of them with Ye Han.
A foreign race invasion. Wasn’t this precisely the perfect chance for a Son of Destiny to save the world and farm prestige?
If Gu Lingxiao’s guess was correct, Ye Han would soon arrive here because of some unforeseen accident, learn of the foreign race invasion, and receive guidance from Azure Emperor and Blue Emperor, two top experts.
Once Ye Han’s cultivation realm rose to a sufficient level, the foreign races would formally launch their invasion.
Everything was simply waiting for Ye Han to take his position.
What would follow would undoubtedly be Ye Han slaughtering enemies in all directions and showing off.
Then he would eliminate the foreign race’s final boss here and ascend to the Chaotic Immortal Domain to change maps and continue showing off.
“What did you do to us!”
“Weak,” Gu Lingxiao said calmly. “I merely used the Soul-Searching Technique on you. Hand over your mysterious bead, and I will solve the trouble that has been plaguing you.”
The mysterious bead he referred to was a treasure the two had obtained by chance.
From their memories, Gu Lingxiao had learned information about it.
This treasure could conceal the aura of the Spatial Passage.
As for its other functions, the two of them had not discovered them.
According to the original plotline, this treasure would likely be gifted to Ye Han later, becoming yet another support for him.
As a villain, seizing the Son of Destiny’s opportunity in advance should be perfectly reasonable.
“And why should we trust you?” Azure Emperor asked warily.
Gu Lingxiao sighed.
They had already witnessed his strength just moments ago. Why persist in such meaningless resistance?
He was about to raise his hand and forcibly refine the bead out of them when Blue Emperor suddenly summoned it directly from his storage space.
“I’ll give it to you. I hope you will keep your promise.”
Blue Emperor did not want to do this.
But he had already realized the immense gap in strength between them.
Even if he joined forces with Azure Emperor, they might not be able to stop this young man if he chose to take it by force.
It was better to gamble and hand it over.
In any case, they did not know what use the bead truly had. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Good.”
As soon as Gu Lingxiao accepted the bead, the system notification rang beside his ear.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for seizing the Son of Destiny Ye Han’s opportunity in advance. Reward: 3,000,000 Villain Points.]
One bead. Three million Villain Points.
Gu Lingxiao played with the bead for a moment and sensed fluctuations of the Path of Destiny upon it.
This bead could not only conceal the Spatial Passage. It could also conceal a great many other things.
For example, destiny itself.
A powerful surge of spiritual power erupted from his body, causing Azure Emperor and Blue Emperor to feel deep shock.
Such terrifying strength was enough to instantly kill them.
That immense power flowed into the bead and, under Gu Lingxiao’s divine sense, spread across every corner of the Sky Vault Continent.
In that instant, as someone who held authority over the Heavenly Dao, he felt the secrets of heaven fall into chaos.
This bead did not merely conceal the Spatial Passage. It also possessed the power to obscure heavenly secrets.
A fine treasure.
Gu Lingxiao quickly understood the bead’s importance to Ye Han.
With the Primordial Sovereign Bloodline in his body, once fully awakened and after entering the Chaotic Immortal Domain, Ye Han would undoubtedly become a target coveted by many.
At that time, he would need something to help conceal his bloodline.
If it could even obscure heavenly secrets, hiding a bloodline would be trivial.
Had Gu Lingxiao not already planted a mark on Ye Han, Ye Han might truly have been able to use this bead to hide his aura and evade detection.
Fortunately, the bead was now in Gu Lingxiao’s hands, and Ye Han’s whereabouts were entirely under his control.
For now, everything remained within his grasp.
“I will handle the situation on the other side for you.”
Gu Lingxiao looked toward the Spatial Passage, intending to investigate it.
In his eyes, this world had already become an affiliated world of the Gu Family.
However, he did not send his true body inside. Instead, he separated a projection of his divine sense and sent it into the Spatial Passage.
Seeing that Gu Lingxiao had only dispatched a projection of divine sense, Azure Emperor and Blue Emperor could not help but grow doubtful.
Could merely sending a projection truly be enough?
After all, everyone knew that a divine sense projection was equivalent to a clone.
Under normal circumstances, a projection’s strength would be far inferior to the main body, often only one-tenth or even less.
Unfortunately, their knowledge was too shallow. For the geniuses of the Chaotic Immortal Domain, exerting thirty percent of the main body’s strength through a projection was effortless.
And Gu Lingxiao, having cultivated the Gu Family’s Secret Technique, could make this projection display ninety percent of his true body’s power.
This was the profound foundation the Gu Family had accumulated over thousands of Epochs.
Afterward, Gu Lingxiao casually set up a small formation.
This formation was not meant to conceal the Spatial Passage.
It was a genuine killing formation.
Anyone attempting to enter the Spatial Passage here would be torn apart by this formation.
He did not know the meaning of mercy.
Azure Emperor and Blue Emperor also sensed the terrifying power emanating from the formation.
Even though they had already stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm, standing beside this formation still made their scalps tingle.
A despairing killing intent locked onto them. It felt as if taking even one more step forward would result in immediate death.
While filled with shock and fear, the two became increasingly curious about Gu Lingxiao’s identity.
Where exactly had this young man come from? Not only could he easily perform the Soul-Searching Technique on them, but even his casual methods were far beyond their reach.
“May I ask your identity, young friend?” Blue Emperor finally mustered the courage to ask.
“Gu Lingxiao of the Gu Family in the Chaotic Immortal Domain.”
Out of consideration for Blue Emperor’s earlier compliance, Gu Lingxiao answered his question.
After speaking, he vanished from before the two.
“The Chaotic Immortal Domain… the Gu Family?”
Blue Emperor was stunned for a moment before giving a bitter smile.
So he was a young genius from the Upper Realm.
In that case, everything he had done was hardly surprising.
Azure Emperor also suddenly understood.
Although the two of them were invincible on the Sky Vault Continent, they were nothing in the Chaotic Immortal Domain.
In their youth, they too had harbored hopes of ascending to the Chaotic Immortal Domain. Unfortunately, their talent was not favored by the sects of the Upper Realm, and they ultimately remained on the Sky Vault Continent.
“To think that two old men like us would live to see someone from the Chaotic Immortal Domain.”
“It seems the calamity of the foreign races can finally be resolved.”
The two exchanged glances, a trace of relief appearing in their eyes.
Guarding this place for hundreds of years had placed an immense burden upon them.
Now that Gu Lingxiao had appeared, there was no doubt he could resolve the disaster brought by the foreign races.
The strength of the Chaotic Immortal Domain had long been etched into their hearts.
As for whether Gu Lingxiao might be from the foreign races and trying to deceive them, neither Azure Emperor nor Blue Emperor was worried.
With such overwhelming strength, there was no need for him to rely on schemes.
Power alone was enough to deal with them.
