Gritting her teeth, Jiang Luoshen stared back at him as she forced herself to calm down, and her eyes were notably icy.

Gu Changge, do you think killing them will drive me to retreat? Ill have to say, you must not have thought this through. As she was speaking, the golden paper appeared in her hand with divine glyphs on it. It emitted golden glows like a miniature sun. Followingly, a dense aura surged, as though it could subdue all demons in the world. The power it displayed was in the Sacred Emperor Realm, and it vigorously filled the air. Such tremendous power was fathomless, as though it could engulf the world in fear.

Oh, really? So you think you can take me on with a piece of paper containing the full power of a strike from someone in the Sacred Emperor Realm? Gu Changge turned to her and blandly mocked. Besides, you must have gotten something wrong. I didnt kill these people, the Godly Illusion Clan did. The forces behind the deceased will surely exact revenge upon the Godly Illusion Clan, and I have nothing to do with that.

Gu Changge, you Surprised by Gu Changges statement, Jiang Luoshen was taken aback. Rage surged in her heart as her eyes grew even colder. You despicable scum! How brazen are you to say those words? And here I thought you were as graceful, kind and gentlemanly as the rumours claimed.

My apologies for letting you down. Though, Ive never admitted to being a good person, Gu Changge leisurely replied as he steadily approached her.

Although Jiang Luoshen was grasping the golden paper filled with the full power of a Sacred Emperor Realm being, her fear towards Gu Changge drove her to step backwards. Im not the only one who witnessed you slaughtering those four Sect Masters! Do you think everything here will stay unexposed? Jiang Luoshen coldly said as she glanced at Wang Zijin, who was in the corridor, intending to stir the pot between her and Gu Changge.

Oh, Princess Luoshen, how vile you are, plotting to kill the crowd and slaughtering the four Sect Masters, and now you are even trying to frame Brother Gu! However, hearing that, Wang Zijin didnt seem to be surprised. She then smilingly spoke as she mischievously winked at Gu Changge.

You Dazed by Wang Zijins words, Jiang Luoshen was stunned and revealed a hideous glower. [The Saintess of Mortal Palace dares spout such nonsense? She must have grown as sly as Gu Changge to be able to walk beside him!]

Accordingly, Gu Changge glanced at Jiang Luoshen and casually asked, Done with your last words?

Gu Changge, how is killing me here beneficial to you? Jiang Luoshen felt a chill up her spine upon Gu Changges words.

Oh, Princess Luoshen, you exaggerate! How could I ever kill you? Youd just happen to perish by accident when you were fighting the Sect Masters over the Godly Illusion Divinity Crystal. Gu Changge slightly shook his head and grinned as he corrected her.

Gu Changge, you are the number one of the younger generation, yet you are so shameless, so dreadful! With that, Jiang Luoshen gritted her teeth. Her beguiling face grew as cold as ice and the chilly sensation around her intensified.

Not only did Gu Changge intend to murder her right away, but he also planned to frame the murder to those deceased Sect Masters. As such, he could easily stir up a feud between the Godly Illusion Clan and the rest of the forces.

Are you speaking all this nonsense to buy time? Gu Changge faintly asked. As he raised his arm, a sword energy surged, resembling a heaven-piercing divine sword that gleamed amid devastation. Overpowering and blinding, the sword energy was swung towards Jiang Luoshen.

Instantly, Jiang Luoshens face blanched as she was overtaken by immense dread. Failing to react in time, she hastily conjured the golden paper and cast her powers into it. Nevertheless, before she could fully display her power, she was struck by Gu Changges sword energy. Hit by a massive explosive shockwave, she immediately fell to the ground.

At once, she gritted her teeth and made a hand sign, displaying an ancient divine ability. Her golden hair began to rise as golden heavenly light burst with brightness that could make one blind. Such strength was significantly more powerful than that of most young prodigies, and it might even rival that of the King with Six Crowns.

Alas, her effort turned out futile before the sword energy. Letting out an agonised scream, she spewed a mouthful of golden blood as she was sent flying away before crashing into the wall behind her. Had her divine armour not activated at the most critical time and mitigated the force of the sword energy, that strike would have taken her life.

With such meagre strength, what will buying time do for you? Gu Changge scornfully questioned as he walked over to her. Almost instantly, he appeared before Jiang Luoshen and grabbed her by the neck before lifting her up.

*Cough, cough!* It was Jiang Luoshens first time being strangled this way. Unable to breathe properly, she was suffocating.

Yet, she remained persistent, raising her head and glared at Gu Changge with her golden eyes filled with relentless detestation. If gazes could kill a person, there was no telling how many times she had killed Gu Changge.

Gu Changge, you will regret your actions someday! She coldly shouted.

Really? Gu Changge sounded very calm.

Princess, run now! Right at this moment, the golden-haired old woman suddenly shouted in anger, and her body seemed to be shining.

From her pores, golden blood spilled as ambiguous Mists of Chaos gushed out of her skull. Her entire aura grew remarkably stronger than previously, but her flesh was speedily ageing. Swiftly, she charged towards Gu Changge, intending to rescue Jiang Luoshen from him.

However, Gu Changge remained unmoved by this. Without shifting his gaze over, he exerted force into his palm to trigger his strength. In that instant, a terrifying shockwave erupted in his eyes.

You really want to kill me A trace of disbelief persisted on Jiang Luoshens face, and her voice was trembling with fear. Immediately, her entire body exploded as mists of blood filled the sky.

Princess! Exasperated, the golden-haired old woman dropped her jaw.

In the meantime, Jiang Chen and Monk Pu Du were also shocked, standing still where they were.

He sure is ruthless. Wang Zijins face grew somewhat awkward.

Gu Changge, Im going to kill you! Dismayed by what she saw, the golden-haired old woman, as if she was a frenzied demoness, charged at Gu Changge without a care in the world, displaying all sorts of powerful techniques and divine abilities. Unimaginably terrorising shockwaves broke out across the region, and even the platform began to tremble as vague lights surged around the Godly Illusion Divinity Crystal contained within it, making it seem ever more mysterious and beautiful.

Regardless, Gu Changges face remained unchanged as he raised his hand and slammed it on her body, sending her flying away and coughing blood.

Why!? The golden-haired old woman angrily shouted. As someone in the Sacred King Realm, she even used her Forbidden Secret Technique, yet it stood no chance against Gu Changge. Quickly, she coughed up a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying away and her body exploded. Gu Changges vehemence shattered her hope. Now that Jiang Luoshen had fallen, even if she were to return to the Clan alive, she wouldnt know how to explain herself.

Hmm. Not bad. At that moment, Gu Changge suddenly raised his brows, seemingly rather surprised. He then raised his head and turned to the air, not far away.

*Whoosh!* There, beams of golden lights condensed as a disturbance surged. Jiang Luoshens figure appeared once again, but her face was pale and filled with fear as she warily stared at Gu Changge. It was as though she had yet to recover from her senses.

She never expected that Gu Changge actually intended to murder her so mercilessly without any hesitation. Such decisiveness and ruthlessness left her shivering as she finally experienced how death felt, and she was unable to shake the fright off.

A Death Substitution Puppet, huh? To think theres such a thing Revealing a pondering look, Gu Changge instantly knew what protected her.

Nevertheless, as the method of forging Death Substitution Puppets was lost in time, they were now invaluable items desired even by even those in the Sacred King Realm. Thus, it was regarded as a priceless treasure since using one of them would mean the world had one of them less.

As such, Gu Changge was rather surprised to see that Jiang Luoshen possessed a Death Substitution Puppet.

Aunt Jin Looking at the golden-haired old womans tragic state, Jiang Luoshen failed to contain her emotions.

As a matter of fact, what the golden-haired old woman used was a Secret Technique of Godly Illusion Clan that would burn ones Life Force. Although it allowed a temporary boost of cultivation power, the side effect was terrifying and irreversible, and not even breakthroughs in cultivation levels could help the user to regain their Life Force. Therefore, no members of the Godly Illusion Clan would resort to it unless the situation was life-threatening.

In the golden-haired old womans eyes, Gu Changge was obviously undefeatable, and there was no way she could have delayed Gu Changge without putting her life on the line.

Princess, Im glad to see that youre fine. The golden-haired old woman smiled, but she was continuously spewing blood.

Aunt Jin, you didnt have to do this Jiang Luoshen clenched her teeth and tore a talisman in her hand.

All of a sudden, a hazy, monumental golden figure appeared behind her. Alarming and grand, it resembled a Godly Spirit that rose from the River of Time. The golden Godly Spirit was as dazzling as the giant sun, possessing a fathomless cultivation. Its face was concealed, and only its cold, all-seeing eyes were visible.

A Dharma Body of a Master in the Quasi-Nirvana Realm Wang Zijin was stupefied by the sight as she didnt expect Jiang Luoshen to carry this many protective measures.

On the other hand, Gu Changge, furrowing his brows, slowly pulled out a large seal filled with the auras of mountains and rivers from his garment. It made the world seem as though everything was a dream. It was none other than the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

*Boom!* Right at this moment, Jiang Chen, who was staring at Gu Changge and Jiang Luoshen, suddenly gritted his teeth as he just finished communicating with the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation and he had it triggering the arrays of the region.

In that instant, the walls lit up as vibrant lights filled the palace, illuminating the entire region. Then, what seemed to be the stars in the sky appeared, followed by blinding lights that were shot through the clouds to blast down.

The whole place began to crumble amid horror-striking sounds as the reawakened arrays emitted bursts of daunting forces.

Immediately, Jiang Chen took the chance and dashed towards the location he was tasked to head by the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation.

Kind Sir Jiang, wait for me! Monk Pu Du noticed Jiang Chens action. As his eyes glistened, he quickly became a divine rainbow and speedily followed Jiang Chen out of the palace.

What is happening? Not expecting the drastic change of the situation, Jiang Luoshen was dazed.

Nonetheless, Gu Changge, on the other hand, didnt seem affected by his surroundings. As his body flickered, he charged towards Jiang Luoshen, as if he was to murder her right away.

Gu Changge, theres no bad blood between us. Why do you wish to kill me? She clenched her teeth and triggered the Dharma Body behind her to fend off Gu Changge.

In fact, the Dharma Body was bequeathed to her by an Ancestor back when she left the clans territory. Harbouring the strength of the Quasi-Nirvana Realm, it could save her life at crucial moments. Given Gu Changges identity, Jiang Luoshen, naturally, knew that he would also possess similar cards to play. Thus, she only hoped that she could defend herself against Gu Changges attacks. She hoped that she could buy herself some more time.

Sure, I can spare your life. Be my servant and Ill consider whether to let you live, Gu Changge casually replied with an expression as though he did not give it much thought.

As if Ill believe you, Gu Changge! Youll definitely kill me! Jiang Luoshen gritted her teeth so tensely they were crushed to bits, and her face was ever so icy.

Indubitably, there was no way she would believe Gu Changge as all she felt coming from him was his intimidating murderous intent that was filling up the sky and gushing towards her as though it was about to engulf her.

Dont believe me? Forget it, then. Though, what a pity this is. I didnt want to be the cruel person to pluck such a pretty flower. Gu Changge shook his head, sounding somewhat remorseful.

Meanwhile, Jiang Luoshens eyes were full of chilliness. [How shameless of him to speak such words? If it werent for my Death Substitution Puppet, I would have died by his hands!]

In that instant, spine-chilling thunder occurred in the air, harbouring celestial figures and dense heavenly lights as well as gleaming golden runes.

This place is falling apart. Im going to stay here forever if I dont get out now Wang Zijin muttered as she took a glance at Gu Changge. Knowing that Gu Changge possessed unthinkable abilities, she believed that this collapse would not affect him at all. Thereupon, she began to retreat and became a divine rainbow leaving on the same path which they entered from.

*Boom!* At that moment, the underground area started to fall to ruins. Upon the enormous change, the faces of the others inside quickly changed.

They hastily retreated to the way they came in from, not daring to delay.

What a timely collapse. At the same time, Gu Changge, letting Jiang Luoshen off, took the opportunity and blinked to the platform as he intended to grab the purple crystal.

A vast, unwavering aura was surging, and an unparalleled Godly Spirit seemed to be sitting within it. Surrounded by glyphs, the Godly Spirit was overseeing the world, possessing endless strength.

However, when Gu Changge was about to grab the Divinity Crystal, a terrifying force of resistance was let out from within.

Only for the Successors of the Godly Illusion Clan, huh? Gu Changges face was as composed as usual. Then, black lights appeared in his palm, followed by gushes of black beams that resembled a waterfall, which engulfed the purple crystal. It was similar to a terrorising black hole that could engulf existence itself.

Instantly, the force of resistance notably waned, and an ambiguous feeling of fear could be detected.

It seems a divine consciousness has been born after all these years. Gu Changges eyes deepened, having no intention of giving up the Divinity Crystal as it might be able to help him achieve another cultivation breakthrough.

Aunt Jin, lets go! Seeing that, Jiang Luoshen felt somewhat relieved. She coldly gazed at Gu Changge, knowing that he wouldnt be able to retrieve it.

With that, she triggered the Dharma Body and swiftly left the place. Immediately, she became a divine rainbow and helped the golden-haired old woman out of the region. For now, she put a pause to her acquisition of the Godly Illusion Divinity Crystal of her Prime Ancestor, since protecting the lives of her fellow clansmen was undoubtedly more important.

Gu Changge turned to her without chasing after her. Everyone has left. Now, thats better.

Unaffected by the collapse, he turned back and conjured the Grand Flask, which landed from above. The countless Sources in his vicinity were absorbed by the Grand Flask, as though they were smoke rising to the sky.

There are still Sect Masters that have yet to leave the palace.

Accordingly, he began to search for his prey.

Unlike the many young prodigies, these Sect Masters were in the Sacred Lord Realm or even the Sacred King Realm. They would not really be affected by the collapse of the underground tomb. Therefore, there was no way they would leave yet as they were still scouring for treasures.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, everyone was watching as the crack grew bigger before collapsing in a flash, and the cultivators that failed to escape in time were instantaneously trapped within.

Did Young Master make it out?

Those of the Gu Family were tense. The King with Six Crowns, who was the first to enter the crack, had already made it out. He even donned an accomplished look, and the rest of the disciples of Immortal Academy had rushed out too.

Gu Changge didnt find something precious in there and grew reluctant to come out, did he? Gu Xianer glanced at the collapsing crack, unconcerned about Gu Changges safety. In her eyes, out of everyone in the world, he was the least they needed to worry for.

Wasnt Gu Changge with you? Why didnt he leave with you? Jiang Chuchu stared at Wang Zijin with a scowl.

Standing on the balls of her feet, Wang Zijin turned to the crack and muttered, The place was collapsing, so given the disastrous circumstances, I immediately fled. I didnt even notice him.

All of a sudden, amid forces not far away, shouts of sorrow, shock, and disbelief could be heard.

The Sect Masters Life Plaque has been broken!

How is this possible!? The Sect Master is only one step away from reaching the Sacred King Realm! How could he have died here?

This is unbelievable!

Immensely dejected, many disciples and Elders were yelling. The death of numerous Sect Masters left the region in turmoil.

Upon that sight, Wang Zijin revealed a fascinated grin.
