Chapter 86

Chapter 86: A Murder Across the Universe!

 

These Anjia powerhouses were much stronger than the previous Helian clan warriors. They moved with extreme speed, appearing before Ye Tianming, Nan Tianqi, and the others in the blink of an eye. The Ancient Shadow Guards immediately rushed forward to block these Anjia warriors.

Nan Tianqi paid no attention to the battle unfolding. She pulled Ye Tianming and the dozen or so Ancient Shadow Guards beside her toward the distance.

“Stop them!”

An Anjia powerhouse roared, then charged toward Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming.

An Ancient Shadow Guard beside Nan Tianqi suddenly spoke, “Follow me!”

As he said this, he led twelve Ancient Shadow Guards to turn and charge toward the pursuing Anjia warriors.

Three Ancient Shadow Guards remained with Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming, continuously traversing through space-time, trying to escape the Guanxuan Universe as quickly as possible.

Along the way, Nan Tianqi’s expression was as dark as water. She stared intently at the end of the galaxy, already sensing some obscure presences lurking in the surroundings.

If the Ancient Civilization didn’t help with all their might, they would never make it out of the Guanxuan Universe.

Even with the Ancient Civilization’s full support, they might not safely leave the Guanxuan Universe.

Did she regret it?

Nan Tianqi slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t regret it at all, because she had never been someone who liked to be passive. If Ye Tianming had a super civilization fully cultivating him, his future achievements would certainly not be inferior to Yang Jia.

The rise of the Guanxuan Sword Master made her understand that many times, a super genius could change the entire universe and establish new rules and new orders.

The Ancient Civilization needed such a person!

Not just the Ancient Civilization, the entire universe needed such a person, because if Yang Jia had no one to restrain or counter him, that would be a terrifying situation.

Boom!

At that moment, the galaxy before them suddenly collapsed, followed by a streak of light breaking through space.

“It’s a Circle-Breaking realm!”

An Ancient Shadow Guard exclaimed in shock.

Although the three Ancient Shadow Guards were wary, they didn’t retreat a single step. Instead, they all stepped forward together, shielding Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming behind them, ready to fight to the death.

But just then, an ancient chanting sound suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth. The next moment, a blood-red lightning bolt shattered the galaxy, striking that streak of light with lightning speed. The two forces collided and instantly shattered, exploding like fireworks, incredibly brilliant.

At this time, an old man with red hair wearing a robe inscribed with mystic patterns appeared not far from Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming. Beneath his feet was a blood-red magic circle that seemed formed from fresh blood, bewitchingly crimson.

Behind this red-haired elder, within several hundred zhang, time suddenly turned blood-red. Then, twenty-nine powerhouses dressed in identical light red robes walked out, each with a blood-red formation circle beneath their feet.

The Forbidden Ancient Mage Team!

The most powerful mage team of the Ancient Civilization, established by the founder of the Ancient Civilization. These people spent their lives in the Ancient God Temple studying the “Magic Divine Scrolls” left by the founder of the Ancient Civilization. They mastered extremely ancient “Magic Divine Power,” which was called “Forbidden Power” because it was too powerful.

The red-haired elder in the lead was the Chief Ancient Mage of the Ancient Mage Team: Gu Xing.

Opposite Gu Xing and his group appeared another group of powerhouses, led by a middle-aged man wearing a loose robe. The middle-aged man wore a crimson gold battle armor, and behind him were one thousand two hundred people, all uniformly dressed in battle armor and holding long spears. Their auras were perfectly unified, emitting an extremely terrifying pressure.

Guanxuan Guards!

These were not ordinary Guanxuan Guards, but the most elite, top-tier Guanxuan Imperial Guards of the Guanxuan Universe. They usually guarded the universe’s borders, but this time they had all been called back.

Gu Xing stared at the Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander, “Your Highness, you go first.”

After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a blood-colored transmission channel appeared in the space-time before Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming.

Nan Tianqi didn’t waste any words and immediately took Ye Tianming through it.

In the distance, the Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander didn’t make a move, just quietly watching them.

Ye Tianming and Nan Tianqi entered the blood-colored transmission array and instantly disappeared, but not long after, the two reappeared in the scene.

Nan Tianqi’s expression was very unpleasant. She looked at Gu Xing, “The boundary of the Guanxuan Universe has been sealed.”

Gu Xing looked up, his gaze penetrating through the endless galaxy to see the edge of space. This was the boundary line of the Guanxuan Universe, and along this boundary line, terrifying fire-red runes hung like a curtain of rain over the galaxy. They emitted terrifying dao power, sealing the entire universe boundary.

Behind this curtain of runes was a group of powerhouses dressed in black robes.

Guanxuan Universe Divine Mages!

Divine Mages originated from the era of the Human Sword Master and reached their peak during the era of the Guanxuan Sword Master.

The leading elderly Divine Mage seemed to sense something and looked up toward the depths of the galaxy, meeting Gu Xing’s gaze.

Their eyes met.

The elderly Divine Mage stared coldly at Gu Xing, “Today, anyone who trespasses into our Guanxuan Universe will not leave alive.”

Gu Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at the group of Guanxuan Imperial Guards in the distance. The leading Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander was calmly looking at him.

Gu Xing suddenly said: “Activate the formation!”

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his palm, and a blood-colored talisman shot up from his palm, piercing the sky.

Behind him, the group of Ancient Mages suddenly clasped their hands together and began chanting. Ancient incantations filled the heavens and earth. Soon, thousands of blood-red circular formations appeared in this part of space, and waves of world-destroying aura began to spread out.

“Dao Annihilation Ancient Formation!”

Beside him, Nan Tianqi’s expression was solemn. She hadn’t expected that the Chief Ancient Mage Gu Xing would immediately use the Ancient Civilization’s first forbidden grand formation.

Dao Annihilation Ancient Formation!

This formation was created by the founder of the Ancient Civilization. Once deployed, it could even grind away the Great Dao. This formation could truly kill Circle-Breaking realm powerhouses.

However, she could understand why. After all, they were now in the Guanxuan Universe, and these were the most elite Guanxuan Imperial Guards. Not only that, countless powerhouses from throughout the Guanxuan Universe were continuously arriving. If they dragged things out, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

Sensing the terrifying power of the Dao Annihilation Ancient Formation, the leading Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander didn’t act arrogantly. He stared at Gu Xing and said, “Defend.”

Defend!

Boom!

He and all the Guanxuan Imperial Guards behind him suddenly stamped their long spears forward, causing the entire galaxy to tremble. Over a thousand battle intent auras surged out from their bodies, twisting together to form a natural barrier in front of them.

At this moment, Gu Xing’s right hand suddenly pressed down gently. With this press, countless blood pillars suddenly erupted from the surrounding space-time, surging toward the group of Guanxuan Imperial Guards. Wherever these blood pillars passed, space-time and dao laws were instantly destroyed, grinding everything to dust.

Even the galaxy’s stars began to be erased bit by bit!

Soon, countless blood pillars approached the Guanxuan Imperial Guards, and the terrifying power directly shattered their battle intent barrier.

Suppress!

The leading Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander suddenly stepped forward, pointing his long spear upward. In an instant, a battle intent like a storm swept up, pushing back those blood pillars a bit. But the next moment, more blood pillars came rolling in, instantly forcing back his battle intent. Not only that, the battle intent barrier they had released directly shattered, and countless blood pillars immediately engulfed them.

Seeing this, Nan Tianqi slowly clenched her hands, staring intently at the blood-colored area. Just then, within that blood-colored area, countless spear lights suddenly erupted, followed by hundreds of shadows breaking through those blood pillars, directly attacking Gu Xing and the others in the distance.

Nan Tianqi narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on those Guanxuan Guards. At this moment, the battle armor on those Guanxuan Guards seemed to come alive, actually releasing terrifying rune dao law barriers, which had blocked the first wave of attack from those blood pillars.

Civilization Ancestral Artifacts!

Nan Tianqi was shocked to her core. She hadn’t expected that the armor worn by these Guanxuan Imperial Guards were all Civilization Ancestral Artifacts!!

It was known that even Divine-level civilizations rarely possessed Civilization Ancestral Artifacts, and only God-level civilizations had them, but not many. Yet now, each of these Guanxuan Imperial Guards wore a Civilization Ancestral Artifact!

Over one thousand two hundred pieces!

She knew the Celestial Treasure Pavilion was wealthy beyond measure, but she hadn’t imagined they were wealthy to this extent!

Although those Civilization Ancestral Artifacts couldn’t completely block the blood pillars, they temporarily resisted them and gave them a chance to counterattack. This was exactly the Guanxuan Guard commander’s intention—to initially hide the Civilization Ancestral Artifacts in order to launch a surprise attack at this critical moment for a killing blow.

Hundreds of Guanxuan Imperial Guards instantly reached the group of Ancient Mages, using all their strength to try to kill those Ancient Mages in one strike.

The leading Gu Xing wasn’t surprised at all. He calmly said: “Destroy.”

Destroy!

Boom!

The blood-red circles beneath all the Ancient Mages suddenly surged with dark red blood pillars.

In just an instant, the entire galaxy collapsed, turning into complete darkness.

The Guanxuan Imperial Guard commander’s expression changed drastically. He now realized that the blood-red circles beneath these Ancient Mages were the true killing move of the formation. He wanted to order all Guanxuan Imperial Guards to retreat, but it was too late. Hundreds of Guanxuan Imperial Guards were blasted dozens of zhang away… the Civilization Ancestral Artifacts on their bodies were shattered at this moment, their physical bodies destroyed, and their souls severely damaged.

“Go!”

Gu Xing didn’t continue to attack but directly forced open a special space-time tunnel, then took Ye Tianming and Nan Tianqi through space-time. This special space-time tunnel directly crossed the boundary of the Guanxuan Universe, but just as they were about to completely leave the Guanxuan Universe—

Hum!

A sword hum suddenly echoed throughout the universe, followed by a sword light forcibly cutting off their space-time tunnel, stopping all of them. With just one sword intent, everyone present was unable to breathe. At the same time, a voice rolled like thunder, “Those who violate my Guanxuan Universe must be executed!!”

The next moment, thousands of sword lights crossed the galaxy, heading straight for them.

Sword Sect!

The number one sect in the Guanxuan Universe!

The strongest combat sect in the Guanxuan Universe!

A single sect that could kill its way through the entire universe!

Seeing all the powerhouses of the Guanxuan Universe coming to hunt him down, Ye Tianming suddenly became somewhat lost. After a moment, he lowered his head and gently stroked Fucang’s cheek, saying softly: “Teacher, Senior Sister… I’m going to die too… Perhaps it’s for the best… I have no father or mother, no one will care if I die…”
