"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back..."

As the boy's voice faded, the black mist, freed from Shen Zhezhu's restraints, began to spread rapidly as if it had gone mad, becoming twisted and terrifying. The expanding black mist resembled a giant net, treating all the creatures under this sky as food and slaughtering them indiscriminately.

Abundant vitality flowed through the net woven from the black mist and gathered into Shen Zhezhu's body, causing his aura to rise steadily.

Gu Yao's face was deathly pale, and he looked solemnly at the dark sky.

A tribulation of lightning was brewing in the heavens.

The tribulation lightning during the tribulation stage!!!

The laws of this world are incomplete and sealed. Shen Zhezhu's actions are tantamount to driving this world to its death!

They're going to drag everyone down with them!

The young man in red stepped forward and lunged at the boy who had completely lost control, but was easily stopped by a barrier.

Those black eyes had turned completely red, as red as blood, devoid of any emotion.

"Master, are you trying to stop me?"

"But do you think you can still stop me?"

The boy's body was surrounded by swirling black energy, carrying scorching fire-attribute spiritual power, which sent Gu Yao flying.

Gu Chou and the others were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

The Heavenly Spirit Formation still needs the four of them to hold it off.

Once they leave, the entire Tianqian Sect will be destroyed.

Moreover... the current battle is beyond their control.

Gu Yao wiped the corner of his lips and looked at the thunder tribulation that was already mostly brewing in the sky. The sky had collapsed and was showing signs of imminent collapse.

As Gu Chou and the others watched this scene, which resembled the end of the world, Gu Huai's words flashed through their minds.

Heaven and earth collapsed, all things grieved, desolation stretched as far as the eye could see, and all life was extinguished!

Now, it has truly come true!

Gu Yao's eyes hardened, and he slowly stood up.

The spiritual energy transformed into sharp blades, cutting wounds on the youth's limbs, causing blood to gush out. The life force contained in the spiritual blood stirred the black mist, but Shen Zhezhu suppressed it fiercely.

Her reddish eyes turned to look at Gu Yao with a hint of confusion, as if she didn't understand why Gu Yao was harming himself.

The overall situation is clearly already decided, isn't it?

The next moment, Gu Yao gave him the answer. He set up the formation with his own body, and a golden lotus appeared in the young man's light eyes, directly triggering the laws of heaven and earth.

On this vast land, everything can be mobilized by Gu Yao; the forces of the four regions and the living beings of the eight directions all submit to the youth.

His red robes fluttered in the wind, his body was covered in blood, and although his face was as pale as a ghost, his cultivation level was rising.

Gu Huai's face turned pale as he watched this scene, and he murmured, "Xiao Yao, he's... borrowing the power of countless living beings to forcibly overcome his tribulation!"

The other three also turned pale upon hearing this, and looked up at the sky.

There's no other reason than that this behavior is simply too crazy, tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned!

Gu Yao is indeed about to undergo a tribulation.

He wanted to overcome his tribulation before Shen Zhezhu!

And he did succeed. Compared to the youth plundering life force, Gu Yao's blood sacrifice borrowed power much faster.

A crack was suddenly cleaved in the dark sky, letting in a beam of light that shone like a spotlight on the young man's stunning face, drawing everyone's attention.

The young man in red, bathed in sunlight, was as beautiful as a god descending from heaven.

Amidst the desolation, the most poignant flowers bloomed.

But the next instant, a powerful lightning bolt struck Gu Yao directly.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the blinding light made it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Gu Yao was enduring immense pain, feeling as if he were being cleaved in two, yet his eyes remained fixed on the faint ray of light that had split open in the sky.

He is waiting!

Wait for an opportunity!

Wait for that moment when you, the one who takes action, will do it!

Gu Yao raised his hand and held Zhu Yan horizontally in front of his chest to block the first lightning tribulation.

Come on, give it your all!

Don't let him down!

When starlight began to emanate from that crack, Gu Yao knew...

The time has come!

With a powerful push, he advanced instead of retreating under the devastating lightning tribulation, flying towards the center of the thundercloud!

In an instant, thunder roared, and all those undergoing tribulation were suppressed under this oppressive force.

This also includes Shen Zhezhu.

Shen Zhezhu stared blankly at the scene, watching the red figure rush into the thunderclouds that could easily shatter a person.

His throat tightened, and he reached out to grab the red hem of the garment, but it was held firmly down.

They could only watch as the figure disappeared into the thunderclouds, never to be seen again.

Master...

The gathering thunderclouds resembled a furnace of flesh and blood, refining the spirits and flesh that were thrown in.

In an instant, heaven and earth froze, everything lost its color, and everyone heard a voice.

"I, Gu Yao, offer my life as a sacrifice, willingly returning to the Heavenly Way to open the path to Heaven!"

From the center of the thundercloud, another voice faintly emanated, overlapping with the young man's voice.

The next instant, the collapsed sky returned to its original position.

In the dark sky, the rain fell and all things came back to life.

Not only all things, but also people.

The cool rain fell on Shen Zhezhu, suppressing the overwhelming black mist. As the mist dissipated, the boy's body was revealed. The rain, carrying a hint of coldness, showed its most intimate side, like the most powerful elixir, slowly soothing the scars on half of the boy's body.

Shen Zhezhu paid no attention to her injuries, her red eyes fixed on the ray of light that broke through the darkness.

He watched, and watched...

That vibrant color, in the dazzling white light, shattered into pieces, transforming into a ray of light that scattered across the heavens and earth.

There was no trace of them.

The strongest one disappeared into the sky.

Until life returns, the mountains and rivers regain their color, and the whole world returns to peace.

A scene teeming with life.

No one died.

Even birds that had just died seemed to grow new flesh and blood, flapped their wings a couple of times, and soared through the sky once more.

The withered trees sprouted new branches, and the entire Ling Mountain, spanning hundreds of miles, was covered in blossoms.

Thousands of birds circled around this spot, as if bidding farewell to someone important.

Shen Zhezhu collapsed on the mountaintop, as if he had lost his soul. He wanted to scream, he wanted to grab the brightly colored hem of the dress, but he couldn't see Gu Yao anywhere.

"Master!"

The boy looked distressed and kept running forward, stumbling and falling into the mud, but he couldn't grab onto anything.

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the dark sky, and in an instant, all the birds returned to the forest and the mountain flowers bloomed.

That was a scene that the people of the Tianqian Sect would never forget in their entire lives.

It is breathtakingly beautiful.

On the spiritual mountain within a radius of a hundred miles, all the spirit beasts, regardless of rank or intelligence, knelt in the direction where Gu Yao had left.

Thousands of trees are in full bloom, the ground is covered in blossoms, and countless flowers adorn the rolling mountain peaks.

The boy knelt in the very center of the broken rosy light, like a lucky one chosen by the gods, but when he looked up at the sky, his face was covered in mud, making him look comical and ridiculous.

Shen Zhezhu was dressed in tattered clothes, yet countless rays of light descended upon him, bathing him in a holy glow.

The rosy light slowly descended, forming a path to heaven.

There is no lightning tribulation that can kill a person.

There was no pain or suffering.

It looks peaceful and serene.

Beautiful and dreamlike.

Once the Heavenly Ladder appears, not only the Tianqian Sect can see it, but the entire cultivation world, and even the mortal realm, can see it.

Some people were envious, some felt sorry for her, but everyone was watching to see what Shen Zhezhu, this "lucky one," would do next.

What attracted Shen Zhezhu was not the staircase that could allow him to ascend to the heavens in one step, but the familiar aura he felt on it.

It belongs to... the aura of the Master.

A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling the boy's disheveled hair. He slowly rose and stepped onto the path to heaven, one step at a time.
