144: Welcoming the Arrival of the Heavenly Dao

"Gu Yuan, you, you... this... it, I... um..."

Beside Gu Yuan, Tian Mei pursed her lips and spoke somewhat stutteringly.

My goodness, Gu Yuan actually snatched the book of heavenly judgment!

And, and he could even make the book of heavenly judgment so well-behaved.

This... hearing this, Gu Yuan just shrugged and then casually tossed the book of heavenly judgment to Tian Mei.

"Here, keep it safe for a while. I'll talk after I deal with that Heavenly Punishment thing."

Ah...?

Tian Mei blinked her eyes and looked down at the book of heavenly judgment in her hands.

Um... I, how am I worthy... as if confirming her thoughts, the book of heavenly judgment immediately tried to break free from her hands.

After all, as a Heavenly Dao Magical Artifact, how could just anyone touch it!?

However, with just a glare from Gu Yuan, it immediately stayed obediently in Tian Mei's hands.

There was no longer any sign of resistance.

Eh... Tian Mei was already feeling a bit dazed at this point.

Is, is this really the Heavenly Dao Magical Artifact, the book of heavenly judgment?

Why, why does it give off a feeling of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

Seeing this scene, Heavenly Punishment suddenly felt incredibly furious.

That was a Heavenly Dao Magical Artifact, the book of heavenly judgment that carried the power of the Heavenly Dao.

To some extent, it was equivalent to the Heavenly Dao itself.

Yet now, it was being treated so flippantly by the opponent.

How could Heavenly Punishment, as a heavenly dao incarnation, endure this?

"Sinner, arrogant fool, thou shalt pay the price for this!"

Heavenly Punishment swung a massive fist, smashing toward Gu Yuan.

At this moment, he was so enraged by Gu Yuan that he had lost some of his reason.

To this, Gu Yuan only smiled slightly, and the immortal slaying sword appeared in his hand.

Then, Gu Yuan held the immortal slaying sword and slashed toward the giant figure of Heavenly Punishment.

Now, Gu Yuan had the enhancement of the System's invincible Realm.

He could already unleash one hundred percent of the immortal slaying sword's power.

This Prehistoric Treasure of slaughter-filled Qi could finally reveal its full strength.

The immortal slaying sword was even more jubilant because of this.

Previously, every time Gu Yuan exerted his full effort, he could only activate a fraction of its power.

This had always left the immortal slaying sword a bit... well... unsatisfied...?

But Gu Yuan's strength simply hadn't been enough to fully activate it.

Therefore, the immortal slaying sword had to let it go every time.

But now everything was different.

The immortal slaying sword felt that it was currently in its complete form.

Held in Gu Yuan's hand, its Sword Qi was unstoppable.

Gu Yuan could also feel the joyful mood of the immortal slaying sword.

He shook his head with a slight chuckle and then slashed toward Heavenly Punishment once more.

It was just one sword, one slash.

A very simple and unadorned swordsmanship, one could even say it was an Entry-Level hack.

However, sometimes the Great Dao is Simple, and that's exactly what this meant.

From Heavenly Punishment's perspective, He could clearly see the trajectory of the sword swinging toward Him.

And yet... He simply couldn't dodge it.

Every time that sword slashed toward Him, Heavenly Punishment felt as if He were locked onto by it.

As a heavenly dao incarnation, to be locked onto by a sword and rendered unable to move...

What an absurd thing.

And yet, it was happening.

Under the continuous strikes of the immortal slaying sword, Heavenly Punishment's figure actually began to gradually become illusory.

"This, how is this possible? My Lord, how could He be forced into such a state by the opponent..."

The Strange Old Man in the corner felt nothing but extreme shock and absurdity in his heart.

That was the Lord who possessed supreme and mighty power; how could He be humiliated like this?

"Chi Lin, look, I told you Master could handle it."

Feng Wu said with a smile to Chi Lin as she watched Gu Yuan thrashing that heavenly dao incarnation up ahead.

Chi Lin only nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The Sovereign's strength had still exceeded her expectations.

She had originally thought the gap between them wouldn't be too large.

But looking at it now... a bit of a lonely expression appeared on Chi Lin's pretty face.

Just now, when she faced that heavenly dao incarnation, she could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

But the Sovereign could... sigh... Chi Lin sighed softly, and just then, Xi Nian grabbed her small hand.

Chi Lin looked up at her with some confusion.

Xi Nian gave her a faint smile.

"There's no need to belittle yourself. No matter what, he is our Gu Yuan, isn't he?"

Um... Chi Lin pursed her lips, turned her head away, and gave a light huff.

However, she allowed Xi Nian to hold her small hand.

This could be considered a softening of their relationship... "ant, arrogant, thou, thou shalt surely suffer the Punishment of Heavenly Tribulation!"

Heavenly Punishment's voice sounded somewhat weak, and His figure became even more illusory.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan just curled his lip.

"You're already in this state, and you're still acting tough? I think you shouldn't be called a heavenly dao incarnation anymore; how about just calling you the King of Stubbornness?"

Uh... Tian Mei, who was holding the book of heavenly judgment nearby, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Gu Yuan's words.

No, how can this guy be so good at insulting people?

After hearing Gu Yuan's words, Heavenly Punishment clenched His fists, looking extremely furious.

"How darest thou be so arrogant! I am the heavenly dao incarnation! Thou..."

"Alright, stop your yapping. I already know. Well, it's about time. Come, let me obediently send you on your way."

Gu Yuan directly interrupted the other party's words.

After all, this fellow only knew how to keep saying things like 'arrogant fool' in impotent rage.

Gu Yuan didn't want to waste any more breath on Him.

With this time, he might as well hurry up and finish Him off, then go back and hold his Lady Cult Leader.

With that said, Gu Yuan dripped a drop of his blood onto the immortal slaying sword.

In an instant, the blade of the immortal slaying sword trembled slightly, and a burst of white light flared up.

The immortal slaying sword immediately let out a crisp sound, as if it were enjoying itself immensely.

Well, it seems that after the blood of my Eternal Chaos Body is absorbed by the immortal slaying sword, it really can provide a boost.

The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He had just felt a sudden intuition and acted on it.

Now it seemed it was indeed effective.

In the next moment, he locked onto Heavenly Punishment with his sword.

Gu Yuan was confident that with the next strike, he could directly slay Heavenly Punishment on the spot.

Heavenly Punishment also felt the threat of death at this moment.

He stared fixedly at the sword in Gu Yuan's hand.

He could similarly feel that the sword in the opponent's hand could make Him perish right then and there.

Gu Yuan didn't hesitate much and directly slashed at Heavenly Punishment.

Facing this strike, Heavenly Punishment's expression turned solemn.

He knew that no matter what, He could not block this strike.

Heavenly Punishment took a deep breath; there was no choice but to do this.

He placed His hand over His heart and then whispered a few words.

"Resplendent Heavenly Dao, supreme honor, I am Heavenly Punishment, hereby offering myself as a sacrifice and a vessel, to welcome the advent of the Heavenly Dao!"
