"Rumble!"
The great battle between Gu Sheng and Immortal Venerable Wanhua continued, their auras soaring to the sky.
A casual collision between them would tear apart billions of miles of chaotic space.
This chaotic region had become violent, with countless chaotic storms raging.
If they were fighting in a great world, the beings of that world would likely cease to exist!
This was the battle of Immortal Venerables!
At this moment, the River of Time manifested, surging and undulating.
Within the River of Time, one could see their figures existing in various timelines—their incarnations, recorded by the River of Time and appearing in different eras!
Their true bodies traversed the River of Time, stepping on the ages and engaging in fierce combat.
Reaching the level of Immortal Venerable, one could say they had reached the pinnacle of Immortality, as becoming an Immortal Emperor was exceedingly difficult.
Throughout the myriad realms and hundreds of thousands of great worlds, theoretically, each great world could give birth to an Immortal Emperor, but in reality, the number of Immortal Emperors had never exceeded three thousand.
Immortal Emperors were powerful figures on another dimension, capable of controlling the Heavenly Dao of a great world.
In their own great world, they could even contend with Chaos Gods and Demons!
Therefore, Immortal Venerables could be considered the pinnacle of Immortals!
At this level, they could unleash supreme power with every gesture, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary Immortal Kings.
However, unfortunately, because of Gu Changsheng's existence, the Gu family, bearing Gu Changsheng's bloodline, could not be regarded as 'ordinary'!
Gu Sheng was able to strike down Immortal Venerable Heavenly Blade when he was at the peak of Immortal Kings.
After becoming an Immortal Venerable, he killed Immortal Venerable Heavenly Blade with a single punch, his combat power being enough for him to be respected among Immortal Venerables.
However, Immortal Venerable Wanhua, as the son of Immortal Emperor Danqing, had the blood of an emperor flowing within him, making him slightly stronger than Immortal Venerable Heavenly Blade.
"Boom!"
Immortal Venerable Wanhua felt immense pressure.
With a wave of his hand, a scarlet spear appeared, its tip emitting an eerie blood-colored light that chilled the bone!
"Break!"
Immortal Venerable Wanhua roared, thrusting the spear forward like a streak of blood-colored lightning, piercing through the chaotic void and aiming for Gu Sheng's head, intending to pierce through his brain and annihilate his primordial spirit!
"Chirp!"
Gu Sheng reached out and tightly grasped the spear, blood splattering.
This was an Immortal Venerable-level weapon with a strange aura, specializing in breaking through physical bodies.
Unaware, Gu Sheng's hand was cut.
Blood sprinkled onto the River of Time, and at that moment, the once-rushing River of Time froze, and everything fell into a state of temporal stasis.
Only two figures remained entangled—Gu Sheng, empty-handed, bombarded Immortal Venerable Wanhua, who wielded the Immortal Venerable weapon, the Scarlet Spear.
After initially suffering a slight disadvantage, Gu Sheng showed no signs of weakness.
He was incredibly powerful, each punch seeming to contain the weight of a great world, forcing Immortal Venerable Wanhua to retreat repeatedly.
Gu Youxian, with Gu Changsheng by his side, saw everything clearly and was dumbfounded.
They were too strong—both his father and that Immortal Venerable—far beyond his horizons and common sense.
Time was originally the greatest enemy of cultivators, but now they were stepping on the River of Time, freezing the time in this chaotic space.
What power was this?
While shocked, Gu Youxian was also excited.
Indeed, he still had a long way to go.
Now, he had only reached a new starting point and could not be complacent.
The world was vast, and there were many talented individuals!
At this moment, Gu Youxian's state of mind was incredibly stable, and even the cultivation breakthrough he had recently achieved was completely consolidated.
He had entered a subtle state of cultivation—an enlightenment sought by countless cultivators but rarely attained!
Gu Changsheng glanced at his beloved grandson, his face full of satisfaction.
As expected of my good grandson!
But what is that stinky brat doing, playing around?
Why not finish the battle quickly?
Gu Changsheng stared at Gu Sheng.
With Gu Sheng's strength, it was impossible for him to fight Immortal Venerable Wanhua for so long.
This stinky brat was probably reluctant to end it so quickly because he rarely encountered an Immortal Venerable-level opponent.
"Bang!"
Gu Sheng punched the tip of the Scarlet Spear, and terrifying energy erupted.
It was their respective mana.
Under their attack, a new world could be visibly seen emerging and then being destroyed by the powerful fluctuations.
One strike created a world, and another destroyed it.
At this moment, they had transformed into creator gods and destroyers, wantonly displaying their power.
"Rumble!"
Immortal Venerable Wanhua plunged the Scarlet Spear into the chaos, formed hand seals, and released a ray of primordial spirit light from his body, striking towards Gu Sheng with an imposing manner!
Emperor Technique!
This was an Immortal Emperor's natal technique, created after Immortal Emperor Danqing became an emperor.
It possessed supreme power and could directly attack the opponent's soul, ignoring their physical body.
Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, sensing a great crisis descending.
Just then, he felt a surge in his divine sea, his divine soul being torn apart by some kind of energy.
He groaned, and his body automatically activated the Undying Divine Art, repairing the injuries to his divine soul.
"Hmph, trying to suppress me by using temporal stasis? Dream on!" Immortal Venerable Wanhua sneered.
"You're thinking too much.
I just don't want our battle to affect other timelines," Gu Sheng responded calmly.
He had previously used his own blood to freeze the River of Time, simply to prevent this great battle from affecting the past and future timelines.
Although they were strong and revered among Immortals, they could not bear the consequences of violating the causality of time and space.
If their battle affected the past, it could erase an era and cause countless lives to fall.
Even though such karma was within Gu Sheng's tolerance, he couldn't bear to do it!
"Foolish!"
Immortal Venerable Wanhua mocked, ridiculing Gu Sheng for being too kind.
At their level, they would use any means to achieve their goals.
Let alone sacrificing the beings of one timeline, even if they had to sacrifice all the beings of the myriad realms, what would it matter as long as they could profit from it?
Not long ago, hadn't he abandoned his most beloved disciple in order to cooperate with his father's plan?
As long as the goal could be achieved, nothing was too sacred to sacrifice.
"Kindness is your greatest weakness!" Immortal Venerable Wanhua shouted coldly.
He held the Scarlet Spear and thrust it into the River of Time, and the once-still River of Time resumed its rushing flow.
Not only that, but Immortal Venerable Wanhua also aimed the Scarlet Spear at a certain direction in the River of Time, wanting to strike it in and destroy that timeline!
"You dare!"
Gu Sheng roared, his figure appearing in front of Immortal Venerable Wanhua, reaching out to grasp the sharp Scarlet Spear, blood splattering once more.
But this time, Gu Sheng did not release the Scarlet Spear.
Instead, he roared and transformed his other hand into a great blade, fiercely striking down at the Scarlet Spear!
"Crack!"
A crisp breaking sound rang out, and Immortal Venerable Wanhua's pupils shrank, a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Impossible, how could you possibly so easily…"
Before he could finish speaking, a massive fist slammed into his body.
"Bang!"
With one punch, Immortal Venerable Wanhua's body was shattered into pieces!
"I was just playing with you because I was bored.
You didn't think my strength was the same as yours, did you?" Gu Sheng looked coldly at Immortal Venerable Wanhua.
From the moment the other party wanted to destroy a timeline to restrain him, he had decided to no longer hide his strength.
"I didn't expect to lose to a native of a backward world."
Immortal Venerable Wanhua's body reassembled.
He was not dead yet, but had he admitted defeat?
Gu Sheng thought so too, but the next moment, his pupils shrank, and his body subconsciously threw a punch forward!
"Boom!"
In front of him, a fist appeared, and then a figure materialized—a man who looked only in his twenties, with a plain but handsome appearance.
This did not shock Gu Sheng.
What shocked him was what followed, because after the man appeared, there was another man behind him, with a sky-high aura, and like the man in front of him, he was also at the Immortal Venerable realm!
At this time, Immortal Venerable Wanhua sneered, "The Scarlet Spear is my weapon, but it is also a coordinate locator.
After you broke it, a transfer channel will be opened in the Danqing Great World, which is extremely far away from this world, and people can be instantly transferred here."
"This was originally prepared for Ye Qingyan, but I didn't expect it to be used on you!"
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, this person is rampant, please join me in suppressing him!"
Immortal Venerable Wanhua said to the two newcomers.
