The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 326 The Demise of the Ancient Temple

Seeing this, Gu Dian knew something was wrong and quickly dodged to the side. He saw that a huge crack, tens of meters deep, had appeared on the mothership, which was originally as hard as iron, with residual hot energy waves still remaining at the edge of the crack.

This horrified Gu Dian, who secretly rejoiced that he had dodged in time; otherwise, if that blow had landed on him, he would probably be dead by now.

Just as the ancient hall was still reeling from the shock, Yu Haidao once again let out a heart-stirring shout.

This time, he closed his eyes tightly, seemingly gathering all his strength and spirit. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand also sensed this powerful energy fluctuation, and bursts of green light emanated from the blade, like a true dragon awakening, swirling and dancing around Yu Haidao.

At this moment, the two guardian serpents beside the ancient temple also sensed this terrifying energy. They trembled and tried their best to resist this powerful force that was enough to shake their very foundation.

Gu Dian narrowed his eyes slightly. Despite facing such a predicament, he remained calm. As the inheritor of the memories of Kuafu's awakening, his advantage lay in his immense strength and swift speed. He was confident that he could evade Yu Haidao's next attack.

"Azure Dragon Slash!"

Yu Haidao let out a low roar, and instantly, an incredibly powerful energy surged out of his body like a volcanic eruption. Even Jiang Chuan and Zhou Shan in the air couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Brother Yu, what kind of energy is this...?"

Jiang Chuan stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Just then, a dazzling blue beam of light shot up from the ground within a ten-meter radius of Yu Haidao, soaring straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, in the vast sky, a lifelike azure dragon swooped down from the clouds, heading straight for the ancient palace with overwhelming force.

However, no matter how fast the ancient temple was, it could not completely avoid this earth-shattering impact.

With a series of deafening roars, countless beams of light, like shooting stars, crashed down on the ancient temple with precision. After being struck repeatedly, the ancient temple could no longer withstand the overwhelming energy surge and coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood.

"How can it be!?"

Gu Dian was shocked; he had never expected that Yu Haidao's move would possess such terrifying power.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Gu Dian unleashed all his ancient power, pouring it into his physical body in an attempt to withstand this fatal blow.

The moment the azure dragon struck him, Gu Dian felt as if ten thousand mountains were pressing down on him at the same time. The pain and pressure almost crushed his internal organs.

"Your humble servant is here! How dare you be so insolent!"

Yu Haidao gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, his gaze unwavering, fixed on the ancient hall.

Gu Dian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold smile appearing on his face: "Heh, you think you can defeat me with such an attack? You underestimate me."

A streak of blood slid across the ancient hall's cold, stern face. He casually wiped it away with the back of his rough hand, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth—a smile full of mockery and disdain. "Hmph, you think you can defeat me with an attack like that? You underestimate me!"

"not enough!"

"That's far from enough!"

The sound of the ancient temple was like a great bell, echoing in the empty hall, exuding endless majesty and determination.

His body was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden light.

With a deafening roar, he leaped up like a tiger descending a mountain, his right hand instantly gathering power, transforming into an incomparably sharp hand blade, carrying the power to tear the heavens and earth apart, and rushing straight towards Yu Haidao with lightning speed.

"Splitting Mount Hua with one might, and unraveling it all in one continuous way!"

Amidst the ancient hall's furious roar, a power containing the will to destroy everything erupted from the hand blade, like a golden bolt of lightning, unstoppable as it rushed towards Yu Haidao.

Faced with this extremely fierce attack, Yu Haidao's eyes were resolute. Without hesitation, he swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade and held it horizontally in front of his chest. A powerful aura emanated from the blade, as if a green dragon was coiling around it and moonlight was pouring down.

"when!"

A deafening impact shattered the silence, sending up a thousand waves of air that shook the entire space.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade hummed violently, its blade flashing with light, seemingly unable to withstand such a violent impact. Yu Haidao and Gu Dian were both forced back dozens of steps, the ground beneath their feet cracked, revealing the brutality of the duel.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

A fighting fervor flickered in Gu Dian's eyes. He licked the bloodstains remaining at the corner of his mouth, and his cold smile deepened.

"Only a battle this exhilarating is truly satisfying! In that case, I need not hold back any longer; today I will unleash my full power and settle this once and for all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura surrounding the ancient hall suddenly became violent. His arched body tensed, and his tendons, as hard as rocks, bulged, revealing the boundless power hidden within him. His five fingers slightly bent, and his nails suddenly lengthened, gleaming with a cold light, like five sharp steel forks.

Behind him, the green and yellow snakes that had been lurking had now transformed into a pair of enormous wings, shining brightly and exuding an aura of mystery and danger.

Upon seeing this, Yu Haidao's eyes flashed with shock and vigilance.

The ancient temple before us could actually undergo such a terrifying transformation during battle!
"You are indeed very strong. You are the first person who has forced me to show this strongest form."

The ancient temple's voice was deep and powerful, like thunder, "Human Crow, this is my final form!"

Yu Haidao's heart suddenly tightened, as if an invisible boulder was pressing down on it. He sensed an unprecedented sense of majesty and oppression from the ancient palace's majestic form.

The energy was so strong that even this battle-hardened expert felt suffocated, as if the air itself had become heavy.

"We have no way out but to go all out; success or failure hinges on this!"

Yu Haidao's eyes were as hard as iron, and he stared intently at the ancient hall.

Suddenly, the wings behind the ancient temple appeared like lightning, stirring up a hurricane that rushed straight towards Yu Haidao.

In an instant, ten thousand fierce gusts of wind lashed at him like knives, his clothes fluttering wildly as if they were about to be torn apart.

However, none of this could shake Kaido's unwavering figure. He stood like an iron pillar in the center of the hurricane, remaining upright no matter how fierce the wind blades were.

"interesting!"

The ancient hall emitted a low, mocking sound, then its figure vanished instantly, appearing next to Yu Haidao the next moment, its sharp claws striking his heart like lightning.

Yu Haidao reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively holding his Green Dragon Crescent Blade horizontally in front of his chest, successfully blocking the fatal attack.

But within this hurricane domain, Gu Dian moved with the speed of a ghost and possessed the power of a primordial force. He was like the ruler of this domain, the strongest war god who was invincible!
"Can you withstand my next attack?"

The ancient hall's sharp laughter echoed in the air before disappearing again into the hurricane, leaving behind elusive afterimages that flickered uncertainly in the wind.

Yu Haidao took a deep breath, resolutely closed his eyes, and fully unleashed his mental power, attempting to predict the ancient temple's next move through his senses.

"Do you think you can defend against my attacks with just your mental strength?"

The ancient hall's mocking voice echoed in the distorted space, "How utterly naive!"

With a long howl from the ancient temple, several of his figures suddenly appeared in the sky, moving and changing like phantoms, flashing and intersecting before Yu Haidao's eyes.

Yu Haidao tried his best to distinguish which one was the real entity, but found that each figure was like the real one, possessing a powerful presence and killing intent.

"Oops!"

Yu Haidao knew something was wrong, so he immediately mobilized all his spiritual power, transforming it into a lifelike azure dragon that burst forth, ready to meet this devastating attack.

In an instant, Yu Haidao's body felt as if it were being cut by countless invisible blades. The pain surged like a tidal wave, and each cut felt like a merciless torment to his body and mind.

He couldn't help but let out a painful roar, even as a top expert, he felt so powerless in the face of such an attack.

"Hey, where did your arrogance go? Why are you all silent now?"

The ancient hall emitted a sinister and triumphant laugh from its distorted space. To Yu Haidao, who was struggling in agony, it was like a superior manipulator watching a toy he couldn't escape. At this moment, Yu Haidao was no longer a worthy opponent in its eyes, but a plaything it could manipulate at will and break at any moment.

"Do not."

"I will never give up!"

Yu Haidao gritted his teeth, his voice struggling to emerge from the raging hurricane, yet utterly resolute.

His resolute gaze, like stars twinkling in the darkness, revealed an indomitable determination.

"I bear a mission on my shoulders and a heavy responsibility on my shoulders!"

He gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly. This divine weapon seemed to sense its master's will, vibrating wildly in the hurricane and emitting a buzzing sound, as if awakening the fighting spirit deep within Yu Haidao's heart.

He could clearly sense his spiritual power slipping away bit by bit, like grains of sand in an hourglass, impossible to hold back.

However, Yu Haidao did not back down because of this; instead, it aroused an even stronger fighting spirit.

"No matter what, I must pull myself together!"

He took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and his vast spiritual power erupted instantly, like a dazzling pillar of light shooting into the sky and piercing the clouds.

When Gu Dian saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Hai Dao could unleash such a powerful spiritual force within the hurricane array he had set up.

"Since you're so stubborn, then die!"

Gu Dian snorted coldly, and his wings suddenly transformed into countless sharp wind blades, shooting towards Yu Haidao with overwhelming force and murderous aura.

He Teng lay on the ground, his body almost drained of life, but he still used his last bit of strength to hoarsely warn Yu Haidao, "Be careful..."

Yu Haidao roared, his momentum soaring like a rainbow, as if he were possessed by a war god. A monstrous aura shot straight to the heavens, moving even the ancient palace, which felt a sense of apprehension.

"impossible!"

As Gu Dian watched his hurricane array gradually collapse under the opponent's powerful mental attack, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Around Yu Haidao, the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade transformed into a lifelike azure dragon, swirling and dancing, protecting him.

As spiritual energy surged forth, the ancient temple's meticulously arranged hurricane formation was finally utterly destroyed.

Yu Haidao stood proudly in the eye of the hurricane, like a pillar that had triumphed over the storm, his majesty unmatched. He coldly addressed the ancient hall, saying, "Nothing special."

"Today, I will end you!"

"brush!"

In the blink of an eye, the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in Yu Haidao's hand transformed into an incomparably sharp azure dragon, instantly piercing through the ancient hall's body, and then swiftly returning to Yu Haidao's side, circling around him.

Gu Dian looked down at the shocking wound on his chest, his pupils contracted, and his face was filled with shock and resentment.

"how is this possible?"

His face turned ashen instantly, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"Did they ultimately lose?"

"We lost to the organization."

"I lost to you..."

The ancient temple attempted to mobilize the ancient power within its body to repair its injuries, but that power, like a lost child, lingered uncertainly near the wound.

"you lose."

Yu Haidao's voice was calm and resolute. Holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, he walked step by step toward the ancient hall where the aura was gradually fading.

"Do you think you can stop us from opening the Nine Heavens?"

"The ancient hall is panting," he said.

"When the Nine Heavens descend upon the mortal realm, humanity will face an unprecedented catastrophe."

"With us here, the Nine Heavens will not descend."

Yu Haidao said solemnly.

Their purpose in coming here was to prevent the Nine Heavens from connecting with humanity.

"Ha, you can't stop it."

The ancient temple's voice gradually weakened, and under Yu Haidao's watchful gaze, its aura grew increasingly faint.

The ancient hall's eyes were fixed on Yu Haidao from beginning to end.

finally.

The ancient hall stood there, dead in front of Yu Haidao.

However, Yu Haidao did not catch his breath. Instead, he ran straight to He Teng and asked with concern, "He Teng, hang in there. I'll take you back to the organization right away."

After Gu Dian died, He Teng could feel his spiritual power recovering little by little.

But it's still very slow.

"I'm fine, you go and help Jiang Chuan and Mr. Zhou."

"They need your help; I can recover slowly."

"Don't be brave!"

Yu Haidao rebuked, "Now is not the time to be stubborn! We still need you!"

"It's nothing serious. After Gu Dian died, I could feel my mental strength gradually recovering."

"really?"

Yu Haidao confirmed this again.

"It's really alright. Now that we've destroyed the core of the formation, the Nine Heavens might not be able to be activated."

"Go quickly and help Jiang Chuan!"

With Yu Haidao's help, He Teng sat up and slowly recovered his mental strength.
