Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 715: Success or failure?

"you--"

Seeing Gu Xu's figure, Lu Qiuliang and the other three couldn't help but feel shocked - they obviously didn't expect that Gu Xu not only successfully rescued people from the prison, but also managed to escape unscathed under the nose of Tai Shang Haotian.

"If someone comes after us, help me stop them," Gu Xu quickly interrupted them and instructed them with his spiritual sense, "but if it is Tai Shang Hao Tian who takes action personally, we will run away immediately."

As he spoke, he focused his attention on the "melting furnace" and slowly injected his true energy into it, trying to disrupt its operation.

Compared with all the formations he had ever seen, the structure of the "Meltdown" was more complicated and cumbersome. Even though he was now one of the few masters of talisman formations in the two worlds, he still found it extremely difficult to deal with this huge behemoth.

Time passes bit by bit.

Even though he used the power of "Time" and greatly slowed down the flow of time for himself, his heartstrings were still tense and he dared not slack off at all.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint and trembling voice coming from the formation:

"Emperor..."

Gu Xu had never heard this voice before.

But in the memory of Emperor Ziwei, this voice has sounded countless times and is extremely familiar.

This voice was filled with extremely complex emotions, including excitement, joy, reverence, worry, and a feeling of being in another world.

The one who spoke was Gong Yu, the "Star God of Heaven" who was trapped in the center of the formation.

Today, Gong Yu is only a broken soul, and his consciousness has long been blurred and chaotic after thousands of years of imprisonment.

However, when he sensed the fluctuations of the Emperor's Dao, he still recognized it instantly and woke up from his stupor.

"Tianji, hold on, you will be free from here soon." Gu Xu said, imitating the tone of Emperor Ziwei in the past.

Gong Yu was once a master of weapon refining and formations. He created countless powerful magic weapons for Emperor Ziwei and other star gods. If he could be rescued back to the Great Wilderness, it would greatly enhance the national strength of Daxia and improve the chances of winning against powerful enemies in the future.

More true energy flowed out from Gu Xu's fingertips and continuously poured into the formation.

He could clearly feel that as the runes of the formation changed again and again, the brilliant light kept flashing, and the complex structure of the formation gradually collapsed. At the same time, his understanding of the "subversion" principle was also deepening unconsciously.

As the formation was destroyed, the entire Tiangong floating island began to undergo strange changes.

The defensive light shield that originally covered the floating island gradually dimmed and became almost transparent.

The floating island gradually lost its energy support and was swaying in the air.

The island's fountains stopped flowing.

The lights in the magnificent palace also dimmed a little.

In Gu Xu's sea of ​​consciousness, wisps of spiritual light kept colliding and merging, getting closer and closer to the border of the eighth realm - he could already vaguely touch that new world, as if he only needed to take one more step forward to step into it.

As the lights of more and more formation nodes went out, Gu Xu became more focused, and victory seemed to be just around the corner.

However, just as his true essence was about to touch a certain part of the formation's core, Gong Yu's weak voice suddenly came from the formation: "Wait...Emperor...don't touch there..."

Gu Xu was stunned and stopped instantly.

"Emperor..." Gong Yu's voice was intermittent, but full of urgency, "This... is a trap set by Tai Shang Hao Tian and Chi Shao Xian... together. I... I have been trapped in the 'Melting Furnace' for so many years, and there is nothing I can do... I can only study the structure of this formation day and night... Except for the two of them... no one knows it better than me..."

He took a breath and continued, "That place... seems to be the key to breaking the formation, but in fact... it is a trap they deliberately set... "Once an outsider... touches it... it will trigger the killing formation, devouring everything and turning people... into ashes... Even a cultivator of the eighth realm... will find it difficult to escape unscathed..."

Gu Xu frowned slightly, his eyes fell on where Gong Yu pointed, and suddenly felt a headache.

Just when his cracking progress was temporarily stagnant, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, and a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, instantly covering his vision.

The whole world seemed to be submerged in this brilliance.

…………

At this moment, Gu Xu's real body, who was far away in the wilderness, suddenly turned pale.

Although he had already cut off the clone's sense of pain, his heart still suddenly shook and the pain came as if a knife was stabbing him.

He subconsciously pressed his chest, a sweet and fishy feeling welled up in his throat, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed onto the ground. His breathing became disordered instantly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Seeing this, Ye Huang, who was standing nearby, had a glimmer of surprise in his golden eyes.

She knew very well that Gu Xu's attainments in the law of cause and effect far exceeded those of ordinary people. If he really encountered fatal danger, he could completely abandon his clone and preserve his original body.

  What kind of situation could make even his true form so embarrassed?

Could it be that he was really willing to risk his own life to save her sister?

"What's wrong?" she couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xu closed his eyes, tried to calm his mind, took a deep breath, and his breathing finally stabilized a little.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of worry in his tone: "My authority of 'Time'... was forcibly interrupted by Taishang Haotian. He now holds the ninth authority, a very overbearing authority. Our situation is not good now."

…………

Lingxiao Realm, Tiangong Floating Island.

In the dazzling golden light, a figure descended from the sky, like a god coming to the world, with majesty and inviolability.

Behind him, the gods stood in an orderly manner, their expressions respectful and solemn.

"Ziwei, long time no see, you have improved a lot," Taishang Haotian's voice was cold and indifferent, without any emotion, "You can even break into my floating island in the Heavenly Palace."

The three members of the Taiping Sect - Lu Qiuliang, Feng Li and Xue Ying - were helplessly hanging in the void filled with brilliant golden light, as if they were being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

They tried to struggle desperately with ferocious looks, but their bodies were completely out of control, as if they were restrained by a huge force and could not move.

The golden light wrapped around them was like invisible shackles.

As Tai Shang Haotian slowly raised his right hand and made a fist, the bodies of the three people immediately began to twist strangely, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of dislocated bones, and their skin turned blue and purple.

The next moment, their bodies suddenly exploded, blood splattered, bones shattered instantly, and even their souls disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.

Three extremely powerful True Lord masters of the eighth realm were easily wiped out in an instant. They died so quickly and completely that they didn't even have a chance to use the authority of "Dongtian" to escape.

The death of Lu Qiuliang meant that it was almost impossible for Gu Xu to escape from the floating island and return to the Great Wilderness with Jiang Zhaoyue.

Gu Xu instinctively wanted to use "Time" again to try to turn back time, but he soon discovered that the surrounding laws had been completely blocked and no authority could be used.
