Chapter 1751: Chapter 888: Standing with Hands Behind the Back (Part 2)

“The river of time cannot be disturbed. The iron rule of order cannot be transgressed. Ancient True Demon Tianmingzi, who dares to cross the river of time, interfere in the present world, is guilty of… annihilation.”

The moment the words “annihilation” were spoken—

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no collision of dazzling brilliance.

Only in the endless Void, the towering phantom of the True Demon, as if gently wiped away by an invisible giant hand, its massive demonic body from head to toe suddenly collapsed, disintegrated inch by inch, like a weathered sand sculpture, silently dissolving into the most primordial energy of nothingness, dissipating invisibly!

The torn dark red sky, with its shattered fragments seemingly reversing in time, quickly flew back and filled up, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye, revealing the blue sky and bright sunshine behind it.

The blood-soaked aura that permeated the heavens and earth also vanished, as if the world-destroying scene just now was merely a vivid illusion.

Only beneath the ruins of Phoenix Town below, the dark red pool of blood that gathered into streams and soaked the earth silently testified that a disaster capable of sweeping across the East Desolation had truly occurred.

…

Gu Sheng, holding together his nearly collapsing body, stared fixedly at the rapidly restoring sky.

Just as the sky was about to completely close, a moment of intuition struck him, regardless of his weakened Divine Soul, he abruptly unleashed his concentrated spiritual power, attempting to send an urgent thought towards that void, towards the direction from which the voice of Fate emanated.

“Senior Fate! Junior Gu Sheng! Can the senior hear?!”

However, his thought sank like a stone into the sea, without receiving any response.

When the sky completely restored and sunlight shone upon the earth again, the light from the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc at his waist also slowly withdrew. The disc slightly vibrated, and a faint, seemingly tired thought entered Gu Sheng’s mind, it was the voice of Fate, yet more ethereal than before.

“Upon you… rests my aura… intertwined deeply with cause and effect…”

“Yet, the lineage of Fate, with duty bound, suppresses all who transgress… we ourselves must adhere to rules, cannot overly interfere with the river of the present world…”

“Your query… I cannot answer… everything… lies in your own exploration…”

The voice ceased at this point, and no matter how Gu Sheng tried to perceive it, the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc no longer responded.

‘Perhaps she is not aware of the conversation between our future across time? Or perhaps, due to certain rule constraints, she cannot directly communicate with the ‘past’ me?’ Gu Sheng’s thoughts raced, ‘This Heavenly Destiny Star Disc, surely hides even deeper secrets…’

He forcibly dismissed these distractions, his gaze instantly turned to Xiao Beixuan not far away.

At this moment, Xiao Beixuan’s face of arrogance and pride had long vanished without a trace, replaced by a sense of daze, bewilderment, and… boundless fear!

He stared at the restored sky, then at the blood-soaked ruin beneath his feet that he personally caused, seemingly unable to accept this abrupt reversal.

“Gone… gone? Ancient True Demon… disappeared?”

He muttered to himself, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“My… my capital for rebirth through blood… is gone… the Great Wilderness Holy Academy… they definitely won’t let me off…”

His original plan was to utilize the power of the Ancient True Demon to wipe out the Great Wilderness City, simultaneously resolve Gu Sheng, and forcibly break through the Venerable Realm using the massive Qi Blood Soul Power generated from the massacre. By then, even if the Holy Academy pursued him, he would have some measure of self-protection.

But now… the True Demon was intimidated by an inexplicably appearing voice and directly annihilated, all his schemes turned to naught instantly! Awaiting him, would be the Holy Academy’s relentless reckoning!

Enormous fear, like a cold snake, instantly coiled around his heart!

“Escape! I must escape immediately!”

This thought grew wildly in his mind like weeds!

However, just as the Demonic Qi within him surged, preparing to tear through space at all costs and escape—

“Buzz!”

An immense and pure Spiritual Energy, seemingly coming from beyond the nine heavens, instantly shattered the void, transforming into a condensed cyan beam of light, like a spear of judgment, striking precisely upon Xiao Beixuan’s chest!

“Pfft—!”

Xiao Beixuan spewed a mouthful of foul blood, the Demonic Qi around him dissipated instantly like a burst balloon, with his ferocious demonized form beginning to rapidly fade.

His entire being was pinned in mid-air by the terrifying power contained within the cyan light beam, unable to move even a finger, his face filled with despair and unwillingness!

From the west sky, an awe-like thunderous voice, containing an endless sense of justice and severe intent, rolled forth, resonating within the soul of every person.

“Xiao Beixuan! As a member of the Human Clan, you’ve willingly fallen into depravity, practiced the path of Evil Demon, slaughtered and devoured your kin, further colluding with the Ancient True Demon, intending to disrupt the order and rules of the world, your sins are boundless, indescribable! You shall face divine wrath, punished without leniency!”

This voice seemed to contain the rule of Words and Laws Follow, the instant it ceased, Xiao Beixuan, pinned by the cyan beam in mid-air, felt the space around him completely solidified, as if thrust into Mystic Ice for ten thousand years, even the circulation of Demonic Qi within him completely halted!

He didn’t even have the chance to crush the Big Shift Talisman prepared for emergencies, before being completely imprisoned, like a mosquito in amber, only his eyes could turn in panic, his mouth making noise.

“Who?! Who are you?! Hiding and revealing, is this supposed to be skill?! Have some courage and come out!”

Xiao Beixuan yelled hoarsely with a facade of fierce external bravado but internal weakness, his voice twisted and deformed by extreme fear, he could feel a murderous intent far purer and indisputable than the True Demon just now, had tightly locked onto him!

The remaining strong ones in the direction of the Great Wilderness City all turned their gaze towards the sound.

Only to see the western sky, originally blue, seemingly tinted by an invisible force, emanating a peaceful radiance.

Hundreds of Flying Boats with ancient designs, shining with crystalline treasures, exuding a powerful and orthodox aura, were gradually approaching, like heavenly soldiers descending. Wherever the Flying Boats passed, Demonic Qi retreated, blood lost its scent, as if carrying the power to purify all filth of the world.

And at the forefront of these hundreds of Flying Boats stood a middle-aged man in plain white attire, ordinary in appearance, yet giving a feel of stability like mountains and an unreachable aura like the heavens.

He held in his hand a seemingly ordinary three-foot long green Longsword, his form appearing minute against the massive Flying Boats, yet in the eyes of all who perceived his presence, he seemed like a giant standing high above the earth! Especially that Longsword in his grip, although its blade remained sheathed, it felt as if it represented heavenly will, enforcing divine justice, inspiring awe at its sight, forbidding direct gaze!

“Saint Realm!”

Gu Sheng looked up, his pupils slightly contracting, instantly discerning the newcomer’s realm.

Moreover, far beyond just entering the Holy Realm! A harbinger of alarm surged within him, without hesitation, his mind moved, and the Heavenly Destiny Star Disc at his waist that had just calmed down instantly transformed into a faint light.

He directly absorbed it into the deepest depths of his Sea of Consciousness, then used his pure Soul Power to layer upon layer of seals, completely isolating and concealing its aura!

That man in white attire, was none other than Juque, the contemporary Sword Master of Sky Sword Holy Land — one of the top forces in Central Province!

Juque stepped forward, the void beneath his feet seemed to contract automatically, instantly appearing between Gu Sheng and the trapped Xiao Beixuan.

His gaze first lightly swept over the blood-soaked, aura-weak, but calmly unperturbed Gu Sheng, a trace of unobtrusive surprise flickered in his eyes, then that sharp Sword Intent filled gaze landed upon the rigidly imprisoned Xiao Beixuan.

“Xiao Beixuan, your crimes are witnessed by both heaven and earth. I represent the heavens to execute punishment, are you convinced?”

Juque’s voice was calm, yet with a tone of undeniable final judgment.

Xiao Beixuan opened his mouth, wanting to retort, wanting to curse, but found an invisible Sword Intent had already enveloped him, as if the moment he dared utter a single disrespectful word, he would instantly lose both his head and soul!

His throat made “grrr” sounds, his complexion flushed deep purple, ultimately unable to utter a single word, only boundless fear spreading in his eyes.
