I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Is this... my prosecutor priest?"

Gu Xiu was unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He was focusing all his attention on his Surveillance Palace, standing in front of the palace tower and looking into the fully open door.

This door was one that Gu Xiu had previously found impossible to open.

He lacked the strength, and with each attempt to push the door open, he felt an overwhelming fear, as if he would be doomed to eternal damnation.

Can……

This time, the door opened.

It wasn't that he pushed it open himself, but rather that after that blue leaf entered, it was automatically pushed open from the inside out, allowing Gu Xiu to see what was inside for the first time.

I saw.

Inside that tower, a statue of a god stands silently.

But unlike other humanoid priests, this statue on the altar was special; it had a unique eye. It radiated a golden light, its small pupil gleaming with black light, and the white of its eye was covered with layers upon layers of orderly arranged, stacked golden scales.

Upon closer inspection, they were not scales at all, but rather countless tiny particles engraved with Dao patterns, as if they contained endless laws and a terrifying power to annihilate everything.

And that eye was staring intently at the sky above, as if trying to see through the tower and through the heavens!

but.

At this moment, above this eyeball, there is a blue leaf that perfectly covers the eyeball. The leaf is simple and unassuming, and there is nothing special about it compared to the strange eyeball. But it is precisely this ordinary leaf that blocks the eyeball's gaze.

A leaf can block the view!

This strange combination left Gu Xiu somewhat uncertain. He had never seen such a unique priest before. He had a vague feeling that his divine palace was too fragile to contain the priest's true form, and could only temporarily accommodate that eye.

Even with just this one eye, he couldn't bear it and needed this leaf-like barrier to suppress it, barely managing to block it.

The moment this thought arose, Gu Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

He felt the pain in his body.

It was a kind of endless power bursting forth within my body, a pain that threatened to tear my body apart completely.

Consciousness returned instantly.

Gu Xiu instantly realized that his feeling was not an illusion. His meridians were shattering inch by inch, and even his Divine Marrow Realm physical body was collapsing inch by inch, with terrifying cracks appearing one after another.

Each crack that appears is immediately accompanied by a beam of golden light shining through its body.

Is he about to self-destruct?

"No, it's because his body can't contain the power and he's about to be annihilated!"

"What's going on? Why is his priest so terrifying? What exactly is this priest?"

The exclamations of the surrounding crowd reached Gu Xiu's ears, accompanied by an extremely pure power that was tightly binding him. However, this power was not malicious; on the contrary, it was precisely because of the existence of this power that Gu Xiu's body was not completely annihilated and collapsed the moment that power erupted.

"Little monkey, what are you standing there for? Quickly suppress this power!" At this moment, the old sword saint's voice came, revealing a weakness and deep fatigue. It was clear that even with his cultivation, it was extremely difficult to suppress the power that was about to burst out of his body.

At this moment, Gu Xiu dared not waste any more time. His mind instantly sank back into the Palace of Inspection. Without hesitation, he mobilized all his power and began to desperately push open the tower door, which he had tried countless times to open before.

He's closing the door!

He didn't know who this priest was, but he did know that the violent power within him, which was completely out of this world, was precisely because of this new priest he had just appointed.

Even with the obscured view and suppression, it was still beyond his ability to bear.

If it weren't for his formidable physical body, his vast meridians, his possession of the Undying Dao Platform, and the Sword Saint's external assistance, the wide-open gate would have annihilated him completely. The only way to suppress this power is to...

Close the door!

Use the gates of the divine palace to block this overwhelming power!

This process was not pleasant. The violent and powerful force was no longer of this world. If Gu Xiu encountered it in the outside world, he would hardly be able to shake it in the slightest. Even just being touched by it would probably cause serious injury.

But fortunately.

This is his own body, this is his own divine palace!

Despite the strong resistance, the tower gate began to close little by little as he pushed it.

However, this process is clearly not easy.

At least.

Those who witnessed this scene from the outside world had only one thought in their minds.

Gu Xiu is doomed.

If the Sword Saint cannot hold on, he will die instantly, vanish into thin air, and his soul will be scattered!

Because everyone could see that the Sword Saint, who was originally presiding over the Sword Offering Ceremony, was desperately mobilizing his own cultivation and supreme sword intent to shroud Gu Xiu, forming a giant net that seemed to be able to envelop everything.

This giant net temporarily saved Gu Xiu's life.

But again.

However, it is also rapidly depleting the Sword Saint's power, requiring him to concentrate fully and not be distracted.

This result sent chills down everyone's spines, and they secretly wondered what had happened to Gu Xiu and what kind of deity he had appointed.

The five supreme beings on the other side couldn't help but gleam with admiration upon seeing this scene.

They came with a purpose and had been waiting for the right opportunity. They originally planned to wait until the Sword Saint was distracted by the power of the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Sword before making their move, but now Gu Xiu has put on this show.

They suddenly felt...

Actually, it seems we don't need to wait that long.

"how?"

"Strike while the iron is hot. He's currently unable to focus on his own affairs, so we can move our plans forward!"

“But what if this old man abandons Gu Xiu? We chose the Heavenly Abyss Immortal Sword because if this old man doesn’t care, the entire Central Continent will face annihilation. But this time there is only one Gu Xiu. If he chooses to give up, our plan will probably fail.”

"But this is an opportunity, a tremendous opportunity. Not only can we kill the Sword Saint, but we can also eliminate Gu Xiu. His fortune is too strange. Do you really want to watch him become stronger?"

"It's worth a try; this isn't the only thing we've prepared."

The five of them thought quickly and came to a decision in an instant.

next moment.

The Celestial God made the first move, appearing behind the Sword Saint in a single step. Before anyone could react, he delivered a powerful punch to the Sword Saint's back.

"Master!"

"metropolitan!"

"..."

The disciples of the Tianyuan Sword Sect below, witnessing this scene, were immediately alarmed. They never expected that the Heavenly Revelation God Lord would suddenly turn against the Sword Saint at this moment. Many of them drew their swords, eager to make a swift move.

But just as they moved, a medicinal fragrance wafted over, and then many disciples were horrified to discover that their cultivation had been instantly sealed. Then, a silvery laugh rang out:

"A bunch of juniors! The Celestial God Lord wants to spar with the Sword Saint, how dare you stop him?"

Is this a friendly competition?

If it were truly a friendly exchange, one would have already gained something from it; why would they choose this time?

The people present naturally didn't believe it, but regardless of whether they believed it or not, a formation suddenly flickered without warning. Then, the formation rapidly expanded, instantly encompassing the entire Tianyuan Sword Sect. The swords in the hands of the Tianyuan Sword Sect disciples seemed to suddenly lose all their spirituality within this formation.

Difficult to control, difficult to move.

Immediately afterward, Jin Ye Zhenren's voice rang out: "If you want to watch the battle properly, I'll spare your lives. If you want to interfere, then... you can go ahead."

Once these words were spoken, how could anyone not understand?

This is what they are doing.

We must take action against the old swordsman!

"Amitabha, sparring is a common occurrence, so please do not disturb us." The voice of Zen Master Wugou had already come over. He did not make a move, but instead came to the old sword saint's side with Supreme Huang Chao.

They didn't get too close, but their eyes were already fixed on the old sword saint.

obviously.

They didn't impulsively rush forward to attack the Sword Saint; instead, they wanted to see if the Sword Saint had any other options in the face of this attack.

Fortunately.

They guessed correctly.

"Pfft~!"

The probing punch from the God of Revelation finally landed squarely on the Sword Saint's back, as expected. The domineering and tyrannical power instantly caused the old Sword Saint to spit out a mouthful of blood, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Even so, he still never gave up protecting Gu Xiu.

This scene.

This caused a sinister smile to appear on the faces of the five supreme beings.

they.

Guess it right!
