At this moment.

The sky of the entire Cyan Yang Realm transformed.

A shadow of a towering Divine Tree appeared as if out of nowhere, infinite Dao Rhyme spread across the world, and the majestic heavenly might left all the strong looking astonished.

Then.

They saw a supremely magnificent figure stepping on the river of rules, its grand stature seemed to suppress the eternity of heaven and earth, and the vast abyss-like divine aura filled people’s hearts with dread.

In the face of this power.

Even Lv Chunyang and Yuan Shendao felt immense pressure.

Blood and Qi shook.

Spiritual Power wailed.

Such supreme power left the two Reincarnation Mahayana visibly shocked, and they could no longer maintain their previous calmness.

"Immortal!"

Yuan Shendao looked terrified.

He gazed at the figure at the end of the river of rules, which was so incomparably magnificent, that even with his peak mid-stage Mahayana strength, he felt infinitesimally small in comparison.

As if the other party only needed a finger to effortlessly suppress him.

It is necessary to know.

Even a consummate Mahayana being would not instill such terrifying feelings in him.

The only explanation.

Was that the figure before him had broken through the limits of consummate Mahayana.

In this way.

There could only be one possibility.

Immortal!

Only a true Immortal could possess such supreme power.

At this moment.

Above the river of rules, Gu Qingyang’s right hand slowly pressed down, the seemingly ordinary palm contained unparalleled divine might, sealing and suppressing the vast void with an overwhelmingly terrifying power.

Under this strike.

All cultivators felt as if their own power vanished, dropping from the heavens in an instant.

Whether they were cultivators from the Cyan Yang Divine Court or those of the Taiyuan Realm, they were all the same.

In an instant.

All the cultivators who controlled the sky fell down like dumplings from the firmament.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s mind trembled violently, as Gu Qingyang’s displayed strength now filled this ancient True Immortal with terror.

Others hadn’t seen a real Immortal, so they naturally didn’t understand an Immortal’s prowess.

But Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was different.

As an ancient True Immortal, he clearly understood how terrifying an Immortal’s power truly was.

Gu Qingyang’s current power evidently hadn’t reached the Immortal grade, but he had nonetheless reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal, only a transformation away from truly stepping into the Immortal tier.

Moreover—

What truly shocked Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was.

He could see that the current Gu Qingyang was merely a Dharma Body.

Given that his Dharma Body already held Quasi-Immortal power, how strong must his essence truly be?

Probably.

It would be on par with, if not indistinguishable from, an Immortal.

"The Immortal Path of the Lower Realm is severed, so how is an Immortal present? Even those in Harmonization cannot truly transform into Immortals without the tempering of Immortal Qi..."

As Demon Venerable Xuan Yin contemplated this, his heart grew ever more shocked.

Not an Immortal.

Yet matching a true Immortal.

This indicated that he could have the potential to match or even surpass a ten-tier with a nine-tier, a concept more startling to Demon Venerable Xuan Yin than Gu Qingyang’s path to Dao manifestation.

After all, even in the Upper Realm, it was rare to hear of prodigies who could defeat ten-tier experts while being at a nine-tier level.

The transformation from a nine-tier to a ten-tier is substantially different from transformations below the ninth tier.

For transformations below the ninth tier, any well-endowed prodigy could fight across tiers, which, while not extremely easy, was not a significant problem either.

However.

Ascending to the tenth tier to become Immortal.

Is about completely shedding the mortal body and taking on an Immortal Body.

The power they wield becomes Immortal Power instead of mere Spiritual Power.

Immortal Body!

Immortal Power!

These entirely transcend the ninth tier.

Amongst the Upper Realm’s Three Thousand Cosmos, amidst the countless beings, over the long ages, few prodigies have ever managed to defeat a ten-tier while being at the ninth tier.

"Harmonization master!"

"No wonder he could integrate his body with Dao in this Lower Realm where the Immortal Path is severed; such a prodigious talent!"

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin secretly marveled.

He already had no disdain for Gu Qingyang, and seeing his terrifying foundation further elevated his status in Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s heart by several notches.

Such a prodigy could not be measured with ordinary sense.

Speaking of foundation.

He might not be indistinguishable from that Lower Realm sixteenth-tier Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal in bygone eras.

As Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was secretly stunned, the once unending warfare on the Northern Continent suddenly ceased.

All the Taiyuan Realm cultivators now showed despair as they watched the figure in the void, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

It couldn’t be helped.

The opponent was too strong.

So overwhelmingly strong that it gave rise to despair.

You can see even great Mahayana stage experts like Lv Chunyang and Yuan Shendao rendered powerless, easily suppressed by the opponent.

Such power.

In their view, only the Immortals of legend could truly possess it.

By comparison.

The cultivators from the Cyan Yang Divine Court were all filled with reverence as they looked at the Divine Eagle atop the river of rules, their hearts full of admiration.

Suddenly.

Gu Qingyang could feel that the faith and devotion of many believers had instantly soared by several levels, with numerous Saint Apprentice ranks among them now.

Gu Qingyang was extremely satisfied with this result.

This was the scenario he desired.

If he did not act, so be it.

But once he did.

He would showcase an invincible posture.

But.

Gu Qingyang’s attention was not on the Northern Continent at this moment, as he looked up towards the Dimensional Space, which was the real main battlefield.

When his essence cultivation broke through, he reformed his Dharma Body, elevating its strength to the current peak state. However, in comparison to the Dharma Body transformation, the transformation of Gu Qingyang within the Dimensional Space was truly terrifying.

Rumble!

The overwhelming might filled the entire Dimensional Space.

The Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms instinctively felt fear under this pressure, desiring to draw all power from the heaven and earth to make a final stand.

This was something Gu Qingyang naturally wouldn’t allow.

"Everything should end!"

He looked at the Two Realms’ Heavenly Dao, which once stood as supreme, now weak as an ant before him.

Compared to other nine-tier powerhouses, the Heavenly Dao before Gu Qingyang was just a slightly larger ant.

However.

A slightly larger ant was still just an ant.

Gu Qingyang’s palm pressed down, covering the entire Dimensional Space. The terrifying Dao Rules descended with a crash, as the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms unleashed all their power in defiance.

Alas.

In the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile.

Boom——

With a single palm.

The bodies of the Two Realms’ Heavenly Dao shattered explosively.

The previous will of the Heavenly Dao, birthed from the rules of heaven and earth, was utterly annihilated at this moment; only two spheres radiating multicolored light, composed of the purest Rule Power, appeared before Gu Qingyang.
