142: The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, activate!

Heavenly Punishment quickly figured this out.

This world is under the protection of That Woman, which is why even the Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with it.

That is why... this person was able to undergo the Awakening of that Physique despised by the Heavenly Dao without being detected by it.

That Woman, That Woman... When Heavenly Punishment thought of that terrifying woman, his heart was filled with extreme wariness.

And now, has another person emerged who is comparable to her... A storm of shock surged within Heavenly Punishment's heart.

That Woman was already troublesome enough; if this person were allowed to continue growing, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this thought, an incredibly intense light erupted from Heavenly Punishment's golden eyes.

"You who have forsaken the Heavenly Dao, I hereby pronounce your death sentence!"

With that, Heavenly Punishment opened the book of heavenly judgment once again.

And he flipped through the pages faster and faster, until finally, the entire book of heavenly judgment was turning its pages automatically.

The entire world seemed to echo with the sound of the book of heavenly judgment's pages turning.

That sound spread clearly to every corner, like the tolling of a funeral bell.

Everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.

It was a feeling that quietly arose from the depths of their hearts when facing the vast heavenly majesty.

Right at that moment, the necklaces Gu Yuan had given the girls suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

At the same time, the necklaces linked together, forming a protective barrier.

"Eh, what is this...?"

Yun Qingci looked around at the protective barrier in front of her and said with some surprise.

"This is Master's power. We just need to stay inside peacefully; this protective barrier can withstand any attack."

Feng Wu stroked the protective barrier in front of her and spoke softly.

Master's power is indeed as powerful as ever.

"Lord Emperor... so amazing..."

Xiao Meng said softly, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration for Gu Yuan.

Xi Nian shared the same sentiment.

As expected of Gu Yuan, he's really amazing... Xi Nian blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Gu Yuan who was confronting the heavenly dao incarnation, her eyes full of love.

As the Incarnation of the origin of the great dao, Xi Nian's own strength was extremely formidable.

Unfortunately, when facing the heavenly dao incarnation, an existence specifically responsible for correcting the origin of the great dao, she would still be suppressed.

However... just as Gu Yuan said, they could leave everything to him.

"Emperor..."

Chi Lin clutched her chest and murmured:

"Next time, I will become stronger than you, and then... I will stand before you!"

...As the book of heavenly judgment automatically flipped its pages.

In an instant, heaven and earth changed drastically, and the entire sky seemed to split open.

Within the clouds, the Lightning Tribulation churned continuously, creating a scene like the end of the world.

And amidst those thousands of Lightning Tribulations, countless cold shackles suddenly appeared.

These were shackles bred from the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.

Unlike the invisible shackles that appeared when Heavenly Punishment first opened the book of heavenly judgment.

Now, every one of these shackles contained the energy of the Heavenly Dao Laws.

This was a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao's power materialized.

"Heh, although That Woman exists and the Heavenly Dao cannot directly intervene in this world, however..."

Heavenly Punishment gazed at the book of heavenly judgment in his hands with near-reverence.

"This book of heavenly judgment carries the power of punishment between heaven and earth; even That Woman cannot stop the resonance between this Magical Artifact and the Heavenly Dao!"

With that, Heavenly Punishment actually knelt on one knee beneath the book of heavenly judgment floating in the air.

At the same time, several golden lights emerged from him and merged into the book of heavenly judgment.

After absorbing Heavenly Punishment's Heavenly Dao power, the book of heavenly judgment suddenly erupted with endless energy.

And all of this energy was absorbed by those cold shackles.

In the next moment, those countless cold shackles instantly locked down the space around Gu Yuan.

In that single instant, Gu Yuan felt as if all his life force was being fixed by the Laws of heaven and earth... Hm!?

In the Sea of Stars.

Having been entrusted by Gu Yuan, Xia Gehuang was currently watching Dongfang Yingxue and the others repair the Ancient Grand Formation.

This was originally a rather leisurely task, as Xia Gehuang only needed to keep a slight eye on them.

But since that Little Fellow Gu Yuan had made a request.

Xia Gehuang had no choice but to quietly give Dongfang Yingxue and the others a few hints whenever they encountered difficulties.

Humph, that Little Fellow, I must make him compensate me properly next time.

Xia Gehuang gave a light huff.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and looked toward the distant horizon.

"The book of heavenly judgment... such a Magical Artifact dares to show itself!?"

Xia Gehuang frowned slightly, but soon the corners of her mouth curled up a bit.

"Since that is the case, then this time, you shall stay here, hehe..."

As soon as she spoke, Xia Gehuang's figure quietly vanished from the spot.

At this moment, Yingxue seemed to sense something and glanced back.

"What's wrong, Yingxue? Is there something that hasn't been repaired properly?"

Di Luoying asked curiously, noticing Yingxue's expression.

Yingxue shook her head at the question, suppressing the confusion in her heart.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like someone was there. It might just be my imagination."

Di Luoying also looked around after hearing that.

"Could it be Nether Moon? By the way, Yingxue, didn't you say That Woman would be coming too? Where is she?"

"Well... she should be arriving soon..."

Thinking of Nether Moon, Yingxue felt a bit helpless.

She hoped That Woman would keep her promise this time and not mess around... "Gu Yuan, the power of the book of heavenly judgment is a Legacy from the Heavenly Dao; you could say that what we are facing now is the Heavenly Dao itself!"

Tian Mei said somewhat anxiously from the side.

At the same time, she continuously urged her own Authority.

Unfortunately, the moment Tian Mei's lightning power touched those shackles, it instantly dissipated.

Although her Authority also originated from the Authority of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, however, the book of heavenly judgment had inherited the Heavenly Dao's power and was already equivalent to the Heavenly Dao itself.

Therefore, how could the power of her Authority possibly take effect?

"You dare to actually strike against the Heavenly Dao and forsake it! Tian Mei, I also sentence you to death!"

Heavenly Punishment's expression turned furious when he saw Tian Mei dare to attack those shackles.

In his eyes, this was blatant betrayal that required endless punishment.

"Are you done with your yapping? Just some mere shackles, and you really think you're the Heavenly Dao?"

Gu Yuan said with some disdain.

He had only been observing whether the opponent had any other trump cards, which was why he had allowed Heavenly Punishment to act.

It seemed now that this so-called book of heavenly judgment was the opponent's greatest trump card.

Inheriting the power of the Heavenly Dao? Equivalent to the Heavenly Dao itself?

To this, Gu Yuan just wanted to chuckle.
