Traces left by someone here gradually reveal themselves.

Those are mottled bloodstains.

And torn edges of clothing.

Fragments of weapons, remnants left on the altar.

Vaguely, hallucinations appeared before Gu Jianlin's eyes.

The white-haired man, wielding a sword with both hands, charged at the terrifying monster.

He was covered in blood, yet furious like a lion.

This is Tang Zijing!

And another middle-aged man, elegant and refined, covered in fierce wounds, struggled to stand up from the ground, with a golden Golden Core above his head, roaring as he dove forward.

Stumbling, then rising again.

Spitting out blood, launching another charge.

Again and again.

Their bloodied, ferocious faces flashed past his eyes.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear Senior Ji's voice.

"Child, can you still hold on?"

Her voice was no longer cold and harsh, but gentle like a spring breeze.

So unwilling to give up.

Gu Jianlin didn't know where this voice came from; he just immersed himself in the hallucination, watching the two men covered in blood racing out with a mud slab, with rolling black mist following behind.

They scrambled out, both tragic and frantic, yet laughing out loud.

Tang Zijing had lost an arm, his left eye was blind, and a massive penetrating wound exposed his chest to the bone.

Gu Ci'an's forehead was bleeding profusely, covered in fragments of steel, his right leg completely fractured and distorted.

Supporting each other, they scrambled and crawled out.

Finally, their laughter seemed audible.

"Old Tang, will your great-granddaughter be rescued after this outing?"

"We'll see, shame I couldn't lift your curse."

They exchanged smiles, tossing a golden seed behind them, turning and running.

Gu Jianlin watched two men walking past him, suddenly chuckling lightly.

"Of course."

At this moment, he suddenly straightened his back, bones emitting a breaking lament.

With a thunderous roar!

Xu Fu roared at the sky, myriad ghost hands reaching out behind him, accompanied by overwhelming black mist.

Taihua felt the Heavenly Person Realm's power becoming increasingly substantial, the once unexploited energy erupting like a volcano, with a vast rain of swords above cascading down like meteors!

Sensing the youth's resolve, her eyes showed emotions once again.

"Although you are not from the Sword Sect, keep watching."

She softly said, "My rank is equivalent to Xu Fu's, there is no difference between Taixu God and Taiyi God. Xu Fu is the apex of Divine Servants, the strongest in history. I am the apex of Heavenly Persons, the strongest in history. Even if I can only unleash less than fifty percent of my power, it's enough!"

Gu Jianlin staunchly watched the President.

She was barely 1.7 meters tall, yet seemingly comparable to Divines.

The last person to stand before him like this was his teacher.

The torrent of swords above gathered into one, as if a god slashed the world apart with a sword, the glorious sword light engulfing everything. Even the Levator Sword from Nordic myth couldn't compare.

Boom!

Thunder erupted violently.

Ancient Forbidden Curse, All Heavens Divine Thunder!

"Path of Heaven, throughout ancient and modern times, you are the first."

Xu Fu looked up at the sky, his twisted and grim face illuminated by the blazing light.

Taihua remained silent, slashing down with a sword!

Boom!

The black mist instantly dispersed, countless ghost hands from hell turned to ash!

Xu Fu's body convulsed, a blazing line of blood spread from his brow, penetrating his body.

The fragmented sword light pierced his form.

Suppression from the Heavenly Person Realm completely incinerated the Ancient God's Breath within him.

Even disintegrating his life structure.

This legendary Alchemy Master was swallowed by the brilliant golden light, involuntarily letting out a ghostly howl, like enduring the most agonizing punishment in hell, his face warped drastically.

Sometimes hideous and monstrous, other times compassionate and calm like a human.

"I said I respect you, so I'll let you die with dignity."

Taihua looked down on him, her form also became fragmented light dust, swaying with the wind.

Because her true form was not here.

The Heavenly Person Realm's power exhausted, and she also was about to vanish.

Importantly, Xu Fu had been crushed by her, causing no further threat.

This was battle above the Ninth Rank.

"President, who is stronger between you and my teacher?"

Gu Jianlin gripped the cooling Golden Phoenix Feather, the descending enormous pressure fading away.

He felt unprecedentedly light, like a feather.

As if a breeze could blow him away.

He stumbled back, finally sitting on the ground against the shattered Pill Furnace.

Everything before his eyes went black.

Taihua's lips revealed a touch of mockery, now the kid knew her prowess.

"I am but a Vulgar Master."

She paused, "Not worthy of you."

Yet, for a moment, Xu Fu suddenly emitted a huge sigh, seemingly regaining human consciousness, letting out a terrified and desperate sigh, "Quick, take the child, escape..."

Suddenly, his previously obliterated third Heavenly Eye abruptly opened, with a vermillion bird taking flight!

Taihua was nearly gone, unable to stop it!

No, even if the Heavenly Person Realm's power hadn't dissipated, she couldn't stop it.

Because this was Supreme Level power.

Vermilion Bird Venerate's Authority.

Unless her true self came here, she couldn't counter the Authority of an Ancient Supreme.

Boom!

The vermillion bird penetrated her illusory form, attacking the youth behind!

Gu Jianlin used his last remnants of clarity to witness the vermillion bird coming at him.

His world ignited, an endless storm suddenly surged, and boundless highways stretched on.

"Vermilion Bird... how dare you!"

Finally, Taihua's voice thundered with anger, like thunder.

But in an instant, she shattered into countless fragments.
