My son is about to break through.

"His Majesty--"

In the imperial court, a cultivator noticed that Gu Yang was lost in thought and cautiously offered a word of advice.

Once the latter regained consciousness, his expression returned to its indifferent state.

"What's the matter?"

"An evil god is causing chaos in Taihe Immortal City, and all the cultivators in the city have disappeared without a trace. This matter is of utmost importance, and we urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

The cultivator said in a deep voice.

The fact that a cultivator from the city had gone missing caused a grim expression on everyone's faces.

Everyone knows it.

What exactly does this situation mean?

"Hmph, evil gods have been wreaking havoc on our human race for years, and now another evil god has attacked the immortal city, harming living beings."

If these monstrous creatures are not all exterminated, who knows how many more humans will perish at their hands!

Gu Yang's face was as cold as frost, and the pressure of a Heavenly Venerable emanated from him, putting immense pressure on the entire court.

"Ye Sheng!"

"Chen is here!"

A middle-aged general with a square face stepped forward. Although he was dressed in court attire, he exuded an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness.

Gu Yang looked at the other party and said coldly, "Issue my decree: you shall immediately lead 100,000 Heavenly Fiends to Taihe Immortal City and kill all the evil gods without leaving a single one alive!"

"I accept the decree!"

Ye Sheng respectfully accepted the order.

at this time.

Another minister said, "Your Majesty, the origins of that evil god are still unclear. Would it be too reckless to act rashly?"

"Reckless?"

Gu Yang was furious, his eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at the other party.

"Now that the evil god is slaughtering the people of Shenwu, he deserves to be killed. Why should we care about his identity and origin?"

When Shenwu established its nation, it climbed to the top by stepping over the corpses of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone. Now that the evil gods are rampant, Shenwu will never tolerate the evil god race in the slightest.

"Today, the evil gods destroyed one of my cities, so I will make them pay tenfold, a hundredfold price!"

As Gu Yang finished speaking, he looked at the minister and angrily rebuked him.

"You are a minister of the Divine Martial Army, yet you disregard the lives and deaths of all people under heaven, caring only for your own interests. How can such a cowardly person who fears death be qualified to stand in the court?"

Someone come! "

As soon as the last sentence was uttered, two guards entered.

Gu Yang waved his hand and said angrily, "Expel this scoundrel from the court and never employ him again!"

"His Majesty……"

The official's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, but Gu Yang would not give him the chance.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Gu Yang took action to completely strip him of his official position, and at the same time, the fortune of the Celestial Dynasty was separated from him.

That moment.

The minister's aura plummeted, and it seemed as if he had fallen from a higher realm.

Subsequently.

The other party was dragged directly out of the main hall.

"..."

Upon seeing this, the other officials fell silent, bowing their heads hastily and daring not to speak.

Anyone could see that this man was truly enraged.

At this point, anyone who dares to utter even a single word of dissent will likely face more than just losing their official position; they might even lose their life.

at this time.

Gu Yang looked down at the assembled officials, his expression still icy.

"The fundamental principle of establishing a nation with divine martial prowess is to kill all evil gods, cleanse the world, and re-establish the order of the human race."

"I am irreconcilably opposed to the evil god clan. If you are afraid of death, then you may resign and retire now; I will not stop you!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The ministers all spoke in unison.

See here.

Gu Yang looked down at the crowd below, and the terrifying pressure emanating from the Heavenly Venerable made them all tremble slightly.

After a while.

Gu Yang broke the silence of the hall with his first words.

"Issue my imperial decree: troops will be dispatched to the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone in three days!"

This statement came out.

Everyone looked up abruptly, their faces filled with shock.

Send troops to the ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone?

Did they hear it correctly?
Among the many forbidden zones of the Ancient Xuan Immortal Realm, the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone is the most terrifying, and the strength of the Ancient Xuan Lord is unfathomable.

With Shenwu's current strength, fighting against the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Think of this.

One of the ministers couldn't help but open his mouth, but when he met Gu Yang's cold gaze, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"I know what you are thinking, but since I dare to take action, I am absolutely confident."

The Ancient Mystic Immortal Realm has been under sway for countless years, and the human race has suffered under the evil god race for far too long. It's time for some things to change!

Seeing Gu Yang's resolute expression, which showed he wasn't joking at all, everyone realized that he was serious.

They were skeptical that the Divine Martial Dynasty could deal with the Ancient Mysterious Forbidden Zone.

After all, from the surface...

Currently, Shenwu only has Gu Yang as its immortal being.

Although there are some strong individuals left, to be honest, their foundation is far inferior to that of the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone.

but--

Some people seemed to have figured something out, and vaguely understood where Gu Yang's confidence came from.

Seeing that the court officials were silent, Gu Yang did not explain much and immediately announced the adjournment of the court.

-

Three days.

A large army gathered.

Just when all the cultivators were wondering why the imperial court was making such a big move, Gu Yang had already personally led an army of 100 million men directly toward the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone.

This scene.

This undoubtedly took many forces that were secretly watching very seriously by surprise.

"Send troops to the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone!"

"Has Shenwu gone mad—?"

"The last force that dared to send troops to the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone in all these years was the Crimson Fire Holy Land!"

Some of the ancient powerhouses in the Immortal Realm were utterly shocked.

Crimson Fire Holy Land!

That was a sacred place from ancient times, which has long since disappeared into the Ancient Mystic Immortal Domain. Only some ancient forces have records of the Crimson Fire Sacred Land.

The reason why such records exist is entirely due to the actions of the Crimson Fire Holy Land, which shook the entire Immortal Realm.

With the full strength of the Holy Land, they launched an attack on the Ancient Mystic Forbidden Zone.

That battle.

The Crimson Fire Holy Land has produced three Immortals, hundreds of Great Emperors, and countless other cultivators.

however--

Even such a force.

Ultimately, they were all wiped out within the Ancient Mystic Forbidden Zone.

All three immortal beings perished in blood!

All living beings perished!
since then.

The infamous reputation of the Ancient Mysterious Forbidden Zone truly spread, and the millennia-old heritage of the Crimson Fire Holy Land was completely wiped out.

With the destruction of the Crimson Fire Holy Land, no force dared to provoke the Ancient Mystery Forbidden Zone.

Until now.

The divine warriors dispatched troops.

They intended to emulate the Crimson Fire Holy Land's campaign against the Ancient Profound Forbidden Zone. In the eyes of these cultivators, Shenwu's actions were like a moth drawn to a flame, utterly courting destruction.

After all, although Shenwu possesses the ability to achieve immortality, how can it compare to the Crimson Fire Holy Land in terms of its foundation?

Even the Crimson Fire Holy Land was destroyed in the Ancient Profound Forbidden Zone, let alone a mere Divine Martial Realm.

not to mention.

Since endless years.

The ancient forbidden zone has become increasingly terrifying.

The Ancient Mystic Forbidden Zone is destined to be far more terrifying than it was back then.

It's a joke that a single dynasty could possibly shake such an ancient forbidden zone.

No one knows what that Divine Martial Lord was thinking, that he would do something so reckless and self-destructive.

Can't figure it out.

So I stopped thinking about it.

but--

Some cultivators still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

just in case!

Does Shenwu truly possess the resources to contend with the Ancient Mysterious Forbidden Zone?

If Shenwu can truly achieve this, then the entire landscape of the Ancient Xuanxian Domain will be completely changed.

……

The army is setting off!
The 100,000 immortal ships, like divine rainbows, carried hundreds of millions of cultivators straight to the Ancient Mysterious Forbidden Zone.

a few days later.

The army stormed into the restricted area in full view of everyone.

In an instant.

A powerful and terrifying wave suddenly erupted within the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone.

One after another, evil gods exuding terrifying auras revived and fought against the Divine Martial Army. The shockwaves from their battle could be clearly heard even outside the forbidden zone.

Unfortunately.

The Daoist principles within these forbidden zones are so intertwined that even a Great Emperor would find it difficult to truly discern the situation inside.

However, judging from the fluctuations in their auras, it is clear that the two sides have now completely engaged in combat.

"Hiss, Shenwu has really clashed with the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone!"

"This time, I wonder if Shenwu will have a chance of winning!"

Some cultivators looked grave, while others scoffed.

"Don't be naive. Even the Crimson Fire Holy Land failed back then, let alone a mere Divine Martial Realm."

"In this battle, Shenwu is destined to perish. Perhaps we should consider how much benefit we can gain from its destruction!"

A top-tier divine dynasty, with an immortal presiding over it, possesses territories and resources that are enough to make other forces envious.

If the Divine Martial Army is annihilated here, then this Divine Dynasty will inevitably fall apart.

Thus.

Other forces can then divide it up.

Just as everyone was secretly tempted, a great battle had already broken out in the Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone.

Within this forbidden zone, countless evil gods have been resurrected. From ancient immortal cities, numerous evil gods have emerged, attempting to completely engulf the divine army.

Gu Yang stood on the void, with the Great Dao River flowing through the universe behind him. When the terrifying power pressed down, one evil god emperor after another instantly turned to ashes.

Before the Celestial Venerable of Eternal Life, the so-called Great Emperor is no different from an ant.

In just a short while, Gu Yang had already killed dozens of evil god emperors.

This scene.

This greatly boosted the morale of the Shenwu faction.

"boom!"

Gu Yang unleashed another palm strike, causing several evil god emperors to explode, with blood raining down from the sky, but there was no joy on his face.

The Evil God Emperor, rarely seen in the outside world, has survived here for countless years. Evil God armies are emerging from all directions, and Shenwu's retreat route has been completely cut off at this moment.

"Ancient Mystic Forbidden Zone—"

Gu Yang's expression was cold and stern; he had gained a clear understanding of this ancient forbidden zone.

This also explains why the once-powerful Crimson Fire Holy Land was directly destroyed in the Ancient Mysterious Forbidden Zone.

With such terrifying strength, even if the Ancient Xuan Lord didn't take action, ordinary Heavenly Venerables might not be qualified to destroy this forbidden zone.

no way.

There are too many evil gods in the Ancient Mystery Forbidden Zone.

Even with the Celestial Venerable's astonishing strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to single-handedly annihilate all the evil gods in this forbidden zone.

now.

The two armies clashed fiercely.

Cultivators are falling every moment.

The army of hundreds of millions of cultivators were the elite of the entire Divine Martial Kingdom, but they were unable to gain any advantage in the face of the siege by the Evil God Clan.

It was only because Gu Yang, a man of longevity, was in charge that Shenwu was able to maintain order; otherwise, Shenwu would probably have already begun to collapse.

Just now.

An extremely terrifying aura revived from the depths of the forbidden zone, and a terrifying figure that seemed capable of blotting out the sky appeared, plunging the entire Ancient Xuan Forbidden Zone into a brief darkness.

Black lotuses are in full bloom.

A figure dressed in a crimson Taoist robe sat upright on a black lotus, like a celestial being looking down upon the ants of the mortal world, with the Great Dao reflected in his scarlet pupils.

"The Lord of Ancient Mystery!!"

Gu Yang's expression changed. The figure on the black lotus, with just the aura it emitted, made his blood stagnate and his soul tremble uncontrollably.

As fellow immortals, the difference between them is now clearly evident.

this moment.

Gu Yang finally understood just how much his strength differed from that of the Ancient Profound Lord.

With the cultivation and strength of a First Tribulation Celestial Venerable, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him an ant in front of an existence of this level.

"Shenwu... For many years, no other force has dared to step into this forbidden zone."

"To think that a mere immortal could conquer my forbidden zone is utterly laughable!"

The Lord of Ancient Mystery spoke slowly, his scarlet eyes filled with indifference and disdain. Even though Gu Yang was the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, he could not move this Lord of Ancient Mystery in the slightest.

As His voice fell, the black lotus trembled, and countless faces of living beings seemed to emerge from it, with wails and screams emanating from it, making people tremble.

at this time.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Lord of Ancient Mystery saw three ancient bronze lamps appear. Within the lamp wicks were reflections of human faces, and screams of agony echoed out, as if the person was enduring some terrible torture.

"The wicks in these three ancient bronze lamps were once the three immortal beings of the Crimson Fire Holy Land."

Before their very eyes, I annihilated all the millions of disciples of the Crimson Fire Holy Land, then skinned them alive, extracted their souls, and finally merged them into this ancient bronze lamp, where they will serve as the wick, burning for millions of years without ceasing.

Now that you are here, be the wick of the fourth lamp!

The calm words of the Ancient Profound Lord sent a chill down everyone's spine, and when they looked at the three ancient bronze lamps, their eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

Use the soul as the wick!

It has been burning alive for millions of years without dying out!

The mere thought of such agonizing torment is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Gu Yang's face was as cold as frost as he stared intently at the Lord of Ancient Profound.

You won't have that chance!

"I'm very curious, where does your confidence come from?"

The Lord of Ancient Mystery chuckled, but before He could finish speaking, a figure in a green robe appeared in the void.

"His confidence naturally comes from me!"

Gu Qingfeng looked calmly at the Lord of Ancient Profound Realm, whose aura was terrifying, clearly comparable to that of a Five Tribulation Heavenly Venerable.

It is evident that this ancient master of the forbidden zone has already made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

However, if we really compare them, there is still a gap between the Lord of Ancient Mystery and the Lord of Heavenly Kui.

After all, the former had only broken through to the fifth tribulation, while the latter had already stepped one foot into the sixth tribulation realm.

At the level of Five Tribulations Celestial Venerable, the Lord of Heavenly Kui is undoubtedly a top-tier existence.

the other side.

When the Lord of Ancient Mystery looked at the person who had appeared, his expression finally changed.

"You are the mysterious immortal who once slew our clan's Celestial Venerable—" (End of Chapter)
