The moment the System's notification sounded, Gu Changge felt the already overflowing Emperor Realm barrier within his body quietly dissolve, like snow melting under the spring sun!
A surge of power—infinitely purer and vaster than that of the Great Emperor level—poured in from the void, instantly filling his limbs, bones, divine soul, and Dao foundation!
First Heaven of the True Immortal Realm!
At this moment, his life level underwent a fundamental leap. Dao rhythm naturally flowed around him, creating a profound resonance with the surrounding chaotic qi.
However, before Gu Changge could even carefully savor this profound sensation of breakthrough, his gaze flashed like lightning, instantly locking onto the bronze immortal hall ahead and the figure exuding majestic immortal might within it. At the same time, he urgently asked in his mind:
"System, scan the target's exact cultivation level!"
"Ding! Scan complete. Target: Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy. Cultivation: Seventh Heaven of the True Immortal Realm."
"Seventh Heaven of the True Immortal?"
Gu Changge raised an eyebrow imperceptibly.
That was a full six minor realms higher than the First Heaven he had just broken through to!
Although he was confident in his numerous trump cards and could challenge those above his level as easily as eating and drinking, it was better to play it safe!
"System! Raise my cultivation to the Perfect Stage of the True Immortal Realm! Right now!"
Gu Changge did not hesitate at all and immediately issued a new command.
[Ding. Command confirmed. Consuming one thousand years of pure cultivation. Beginning infusion...]
Boom!
An even more majestic power surged into Gu Changge's body, and his aura climbed steadily at a terrifying speed!
Second Heaven, Third Heaven... Seventh Heaven... all the way to the peak of the True Immortal Realm, the Perfect Stage!
Feeling the vast and mighty power within his body, Gu Changge gently clenched his fists, experiencing this unprecedented sensation of strength.
"One thousand years of cultivation? The cost is acceptable. Now, this should be enough."
He raised his eyes and looked at the immortal hall, as well as the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy inside who had just reacted and was now exuding an aura of shock and fury.
Turning his wrist slightly, he beckoned with his index finger. The gesture carried a bit of casual mockery, and a faint, enigmatic smile played at the corners of his lips.
His voice was not loud, but it was wrapped in a hint of amusement, piercing through the immortal mist and drifting straight into the ears of the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy: "Come here."
The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy's pupils shrank drastically, his heart filled with disbelief. This mere ant from the lower realm had not only broken out of his realm, but actually dared to actively provoke him with such a frivolous attitude?!
This instantly reminded him of tens of thousands of years ago, when the Xuanhuang Realm had also produced a few amazingly talented Great Emperors who tried to defy the heavens and conquer the immortal path. In the end, weren't they all chased all over the place by him?
"You reckless bug! How dare you actively provoke immortal might! Today, this envoy will destroy your body and soul as a warning to others!"
The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy laughed out of extreme anger. The immortal flames around his body surged, and with a movement of his figure, he quickly appeared in front of Gu Changge.
"Suppress!"
The immortal envoy roared, his hands forming an ancient and complex immortal seal!
In an instant, the immortal essence around his body boiled and burned without reservation. A terrifying giant hand covered in billions of immortal Dao runes—blotting out the sky and sun, capable of crushing stars—instantly condensed!
Chains of laws wrapped around the giant hand, exuding an absolute coercion that locked down the void and crushed all things, as it grabbed down towards Gu Changge's head!
This was his famous immortal technique, the Heaven-Covering Immortal-Capturing Hand. It had suppressed and killed more than one rebellious cultivator from the lower realms!
He wanted to crush this arrogant fool just like he had crushed those bugs before!
Facing this earth-shattering strike, Gu Changge clenched his right fist and threw a straight punch!
Wherever the fist wind passed, chaotic qi dispersed.
In the next instant, the fist print and the sky-obscuring giant hand fiercely collided!
There was no earth-shaking explosion, only a teeth-aching, crisp crack that sounded as if thousands of worlds were shattering at the same time!
The ferocious smile on the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy's face instantly froze!
To his horror, he saw that the immortal technique he had exerted with all his might, in the face of that extremely condensed fist print, was like glass striking divine iron—it shattered inch by inch the moment they touched!
Billions of immortal Dao runes wailed and extinguished, and the chains of laws snapped! The fist print directly pierced through the giant hand with an unstoppable momentum. Without losing any force, it instantly crossed a distance of a hundred feet and blasted right in front of him!
"No—!!"
The moment the fist print reached his body, the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy only had time to let out a desperate roar.
He felt an extremely pure and overbearing power, like billions of chaotic mountains crushing down at the same time. It instantly overwhelmed all his immortal power defenses, crushed his protective immortal artifacts, tore apart his imperishable immortal body, and shattered his indestructible immortal soul!
In the face of this absolute gap in power, he didn't even have a sliver of room to resist!
"No—! This is impossi—"
The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy only had time to let out an extremely short roar, filled with endless fear and disbelief.
He wanted to struggle, wanted to detonate his immortal source, wanted to send a message for help, but found that he couldn't even muster the thought to move a single finger!
His consciousness, like a candle in the wind, was instantly swallowed by that absolute darkness.
Under Gu Changge's seemingly casual punch, this Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Envoy, who had guarded this place for ten thousand years and possessed the cultivation of the Seventh Heaven of the True Immortal Realm, simply ceased to exist.
The chaotic void returned to a deathly stillness.
Gu Changge retracted his fist and stood with his hands behind his back. Looking ahead, he blinked, his face showing a look of obvious astonishment for the first time.
"Holy shit... He's just gone?"
He frowned in slight annoyance, feeling the surging power within his body.
"I was careless. Having just advanced to the Perfect Stage, my control over this power still isn't precise enough. I originally wanted to shatter his immortal body and capture his immortal soul for interrogation. In the end, I didn't control my strength well and blew up both the person and the soul together..."
He looked at the void that had returned to chaos, his face full of regret.
"Great. I originally wanted to thoroughly interrogate him about the faction behind them and where their lair is.
Whether there are any more powerful guys and things like that. Now look, he just died straight away."
He stroked his chin, even seriously considering for a moment:
"Should I reverse time on a small scale to resurrect him and then ask questions?"
But after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up on the idea.
"Forget it, dead is dead. Disturbing space-time for such a trivial matter wouldn't be worth the loss if it attracts something even more troublesome. Playing it safe is the number one priority."
"Anyway, I'll deal with whatever comes my way. When they send someone else, I'll just pay more attention to my strength next time and keep them alive to ask."
Gu Changge quickly adjusted his mindset, as if he had merely accidentally stepped on an ant just now—slightly regrettable, but no big deal.
He did not return immediately. Instead, he spread his divine sense out like an invisible tide, slowly extending in all directions to carefully investigate the scene outside this realm.
Wherever his divine sense reached, there was nothing but desolation and chaos.
Shattered stars, fragments of ancient continents, twisted space-time rifts, and further away, the halos of world barriers of various sizes, bobbing in the chaos like candles in the wind.
Some of those halos were dim and lusterless, as if they were about to be extinguished; others were relatively bright, emitting world fluctuations of varying strengths.
"One world, one universe... In this boundless chaos, who knows how many great worlds similar to Xuanhuang have been nurtured."
Gu Changge thought silently in his heart.
