The Dao Rhythm around Gu Yang shattered inch by inch, and with just a single exchange, his body was already stained with blood, completely at a disadvantage.
Even with the power of the Divine Dynasty’s Qi Fortune, Gu Yang was still only a One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate. Now, with the advent of the three Masters of the Forbidden Zones, among them was a Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerate.
There were differences in both realm and numbers.
Gu Yang naturally had little chance of winning.
"A mere newly ascended Heavenly Venerate, how can you be our match? You should stop struggling!"
The Ghost-faced Lord looked at Gu Yang with indifference, disdain filling His gaze.
As a Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerate, He had never considered Gu Yang worth His notice.
Gu Yang did not reply, but his aura surged instantly.
The aura of Gu Yang, previously at the Peak of One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate, shattered its shackles and stepped into the Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerate Realm.
The Ghost-faced Lord’s expression changed drastically.
He was well aware of the difference between a One Tribulation Heavenly Venerate and a Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerate.
The opponent could use the Divine Dynasty’s Qi Fortune to reach the Peak of One Tribulation, but should not be able to directly ascend to the Two Tribulation Heavenly Venerate realm.
"Nothing is impossible in this battle—you are destined to lose!"
Gu Yang’s face was filled with killing intent; by now, he had cultivated the Heavenly Vein True Scripture to the third layer, and the power of the three Heavenly Veins allowed him to break beyond the shackles of the One Tribulation.
The surging power brought immense pressure to Gu Yang’s physical body, and if sustained for too long, it would definitely lead to backlash.
Gu Yang wasted no time.
The moment the power of the three Heavenly Veins was activated, he immediately took the initiative to strike.
Gu Yang treaded on void, with a great river of the Dao cascading down from the Nine Heavens, dominating the universe, causing the three Masters of the Forbidden Zones to change their expressions.
Gu Yang’s sudden burst caught them completely off guard.
The Ghost-faced Lord quickly saw through it.
"You have nothing to fear; this man is using a Secret Technique to obtain such power. This technique absolutely cannot be maintained for long!"
The other two Masters of the Forbidden Zones relaxed.
They engaged in battle with Gu Yang.
The Divine Martial Army was already locked in battle with the army of the Evil God Clan, turning the entire Divine Martial Immortal City into a battlefield.
In the Divine Martial faction, there were no less than thirty Great Emperors, with six of them being at the Great Emperor Peak.
Among the six Great Emperor Peaks.
The figure of Emperor Guhong stood out.
This former Lord of Lonely Mountain Immortal City, after passing the City Lord’s position to Gu Yang, had stayed by his side.
The strength of Emperor Guhong had naturally improved significantly.
He looked at the endless Evil God army, his heart heavy.
The power wielded by the three Forbidden Zones was too formidable.
Even with many Great Emperors stationed, it was difficult for Divine Martial to secure victory.
But Emperor Guhong also understood that Divine Martial had no path of retreat; the three Forbidden Zones aimed to annihilate Divine Martial, and if they could not be defeated, annihilation awaited.
Emperor Guhong’s energy and blood surged, shattering the void with a single palm, killing hundreds of Evil Gods on the spot.
But this also attracted the attention of several Evil God Great Emperors, who immediately converged to encircle him.
"Cackle, Human Clan Emperor, this flesh and blood is delectable beyond measure, don’t anyone dare take it from me!"
"I want one of his arms!"
The Evil God Great Emperors, one by one, saw Emperor Guhong as meat on the chopping block, ready for their butchery.
The latter was not angered by this, his expression cold as he took the initiative against the Evil God Great Emperors.
The battle was extremely fierce.
Not only the Divine Martial Immortal City.
Even the nine Immortal Cities belonging to the Divine Martial Divine Dynasty were now besieged by the Evil God Clan, the flames of war spreading far, attracting the attention of many cultivators from the Ancient Profound Immortal Domain.
"The three Forbidden Zones have joined forces; it seems Divine Martial stands no chance!"
"What a pity, a Longevity Heavenly Venerate from the Human Clan appeared with such difficulty, now to fall to the Evil Gods!"
Many Human Clan experts secretly lamented, in their view, Divine Martial had no chance of success in this battle.
If it were just one Forbidden Zone acting, it might be dealt with, but with all three arriving, how could the Divine Martial Master resist the three Evil God Heavenly Venerates?
The Ghost-faced Lord was said to have reached the Longevity Heavenly Venerate Realm for billions of years, his strength unfathomable.
Divine Martial’s destruction seemed inevitable.
Yet, even with this knowledge, no one dared to help.
Because Divine Martial was doomed, and giving aid could bring disaster upon oneself.
Once noticed by other Forbidden Zones of the Evil God, the consequences would be dire.
Even seeing Divine Martial besieged by the three Forbidden Zones, they could only watch, not daring to make a move.
As the two forces clashed again, Gu Yang’s body trembled violently, his flesh spontaneously erupting with a burst of blood mist, as the power borrowed through the Secret Technique finally reached its limit.
Made Gu Yang’s heart sink.
He could feel his physique collapsing bit by bit, and if he didn’t disperse the Heavenly Vein True Scripture’s power, he would meet his end without the Evil God Venerates lifting a hand.
If he dispelled the Heavenly Vein True Scripture’s power, to Gu Yang, it was equally a dead end.
Reaching this point, he was already walking a path to destruction.
"A Secret Technique is only a Secret Technique; cackle, today I also want to taste Human Clan Heavenly Venerate, to compare with others!"
Seeing Gu Yang’s aura plummet, the Ghost-faced Lord immediately realized that the opponent’s technique had reached its limit, revealing a look of greed.
Human Clan Heavenly Venerate—
He had not yet tasted.
Upon hearing the Ghost-faced Lord’s words, Gu Yang’s face grew a shade darker.
"Even if I perish in this battle, you will pay the price!"
Gu Yang immediately began to burn his Essence Blood, and his previously diminished aura regained much of its former strength, though not as much as before.
"The final struggle!"
The Ghost-faced Lord sneered, releasing a suppressive palm, as Gu Yang charged with Dao power, only to be completely unresisting the next moment.
The other two Masters of the Forbidden Zones seized the opportunity to strike, instantly causing Gu Yang’s body to explode, half his body disappearing on the spot.
This scene made the other Divine Martial cultivators’ faces change drastically.
Gu Yang was their only hope, and now, suffering such serious injury, plunged many into despair.
Gu Yang glared at the three Masters of the Forbidden Zones, eyes filled with unwillingness.
He never thought he would reach this point, only to face defeat here.
Gu Yang had no regrets.
If given another chance, he would make the same choice.
He only blamed himself for his lack of strength!
"What a pity... I ultimately let my father down!"
Gu Yang sighed inwardly, images of Gu Qingfeng flashing in his mind, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared before him, leaving him briefly stunned.
Gu Yang snapped back to reality.
Seeing the familiar figure before him, his expression shifted from shock to joy.
"The mighty Master of Divine Martial, reduced to such a state by the Evil Gods, tarnishing the Gu Family’s name!"
Gu Qingfeng, looking at Gu Yang’s current miserable state, eyes flashing with a hint of heartache, it was his son after all, to say he felt nothing was impossible.
Upon hearing these words.
Gu Yang’s face was filled with shame.
"I’ve let you down, Father!"
"Forget it, I don’t have much time; let me handle these troubles for you!"
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, his gaze already locked on the three Masters of the Forbidden Zones.
"For daring to touch my Gu Family’s men, you have sought your own death!"
"Where did this cultivator come from, daring to be so arrogant—"
The Ghost-faced Lord sneered, but before He could finish, saw Gu Qingfeng already in action, a blade of annihilation cleaving through the cosmos, freezing the expression on His face, terror flashing in His pupils.
