Chapter 275 - 157: Forceful Suppression

An utterly terrifying might suddenly enveloped the world. Within this formless power, a trace of transcendent and tyrannical Dao Rhythm caused the world to tremble violently. Under the dreadful might of this aura, the surrounding space faintly shattered, revealing the endless, pitch-black abyss of the void!

And that blood-red Fist Seal, which seemed to descend from beyond the heavens, instantly shattered into pieces under the aftershocks of that terrifying might, annihilating into ash and vanishing from the world.

"This... This aura!" At this moment, the pupils of the black-robed masked man hovering in mid-air constricted sharply, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

’How is this possible!!’

’How could an expert of this caliber possibly appear in a place like this!!’

That transcendent Dao Rhythm, which reigned over all living beings and suppressed everything, was definitely not something a True Martial Realm Cultivator could possess.

’It has to be... the Tongxuan Realm!’

A figure of the True Monarch Level, not just in the Great Yuan Dynasty, but even across the entire Southern Wilderness Domain, would be a top-tier expert!

The black-robed masked man’s heart sank completely at the thought.

’An expert of this caliber... forget this avatar, even if my true body were here, I’d still be obliterated!!’

"The All Living Beings Sect, is it? Running rampant across the Nine Provinces Five Peaks, lording over all living beings... truly audacious."

"I just wonder if you have the strength to match."

Gu Yun chuckled softly. As his voice faded, he gently clenched his five fingers toward the void. An utterly terrifying bolt of thunder suddenly erupted, then tore through the sky like a descending Celestial Punishment. With supreme Divine Power, it surged overwhelmingly toward the black-robed masked man to annihilate him!!

’This... This!!’

The black-robed masked man, suspended in mid-air, saw a bolt of thunder arise from the void. Like a terrifying Celestial Punishment, it radiated a brilliant gleam, tearing through heaven and earth as it blasted toward him. His entire body instantly began to tremble violently.

Under the vast and supremely powerful Divine Power of the thunder, he could neither flee nor evade. He was like a lamb to the slaughter, awaiting the arrival of the Death God!

’Damn it, how could the mere Wang Family be in contact with a figure of this level!’

Watching the lightning’s glow grow larger and larger before his eyes, forced by the approach of death, an intense desire to survive caused the black-robed masked man to erupt with power far beyond his Realm. His True Yuan suddenly surged, and the surrounding space trembled violently.

From a distance, Gu Yun watched this, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The man’s aura had suddenly exploded to the True Martial Eighth Layer.

’Hm?’

As Gu Yun sensed more carefully, he realized something.

’This avatar of his is actually quite interesting.’

’The three spiritual souls are scattered, the Divine Soul is incomplete, yet it has condensed into a shadow to form its own entity.’

At this moment, the black-robed masked man stood upon the air, his robes fluttering wildly. He formed a seal with his hands, and a terrifying scarlet light shot from his pupils.

"Three-Day Blood God Ban!"

Above him, in the void, three streams of Blood-colored True Essence surged out of thin air. They frantically intertwined and fused into one, forming a wheel that shook the sky as it slammed violently toward the oncoming thunder!

BANG!

But when the blood-colored wheel crashed into the Heaven-Reaching Thunder, it was an act of utter futility, like throwing an egg against a stone.

It was obliterated in an instant by the supremely tyrannical thunder, which then tore through the heavens as it continued on its path to deliver the killing blow to the black-robed masked man!

Seeing this, the black-robed masked man’s pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks. He was utterly terrified, his heart plunging into a bottomless abyss, consumed by endless fear!

The next instant, the supremely tyrannical thunder slammed into his body. With unstoppable force, it annihilated his form into ash, leaving him to dissipate completely into the void!

Gu Yun stood poised in mid-air, his robes fluttering. Terrifying Thunder Arcs coiled around him, and he exuded a formless, dreadful Dao Rhythm that made the world seem to sink and the void to crack. In the dark night, he looked like a veritable Heaven and Earth Thunder God!

Gu Yun gazed at the spot where the black-robed masked man had vanished from the world, originally intending to let the matter rest and be done with it.

But just as he was about to leave, his vast and immense Spiritual Sense seemed to detect something.

His brow furrowed slightly, and the corner of his mouth curved up.

"To think there’s another rat!"

"How interesting!"

"What could it be that would cause you all to lay such a Celestial Net of Heaven and Earth, a multi-layered death trap?"

As Gu Yun’s voice fell, atop the canyon peak, behind an ancient, towering tree whose trunk would take dozens of men to encircle, the expression of a man in a white robe with a Black Lotus embroidered on his chest and wearing a bronze mask changed drastically!

’Sen Luo’s avatar is dead!’

’Damn it, how could such a powerful expert appear in this place!’

’That Heaven-Reaching aura, as vast as the sea, with a Dao Rhythm like that of a god... There’s no mistaking it!’

’How could a terrifying expert who stands above all the nations of the Southern Wilderness appear in such a remote place!’

He once had the good fortune to glimpse a Tongxuan True Monarch from the Southern Wilderness’s top power, the Celestial Refining Demon Sect. The feeling of that True Monarch’s Daoist Heaven and Earth—like facing celestial might—was exactly the same.

This was a Realm that not even the Sect Leader had reached.

This caused a surge of terror to rise in his heart.

’Flee! I have to flee!’

The white-robed, bronze-masked man was extremely skilled at concealment. The instant he was discovered, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest, using every last ounce of his strength to burst forth with the fastest speed he had ever achieved in his life.

He became like a bolt of white lightning, tearing through the sky and crossing dozens of li in a flash, streaking toward the horizon!

"Ah..."

"You’ve been watching for so long, and you intend to leave without even paying for the show? You must be looking down on me," Gu Yun sighed softly.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent erupted from his body, shattering the surrounding space into fragments. He then unleashed a slash in the direction the white-robed, bronze-masked man had fled. The Sword Intent tore through the nine heavens, swift as lightning, traversing space itself!
