Chapter 636: The Bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor

Gu An’s words were like the coldest sword in the world, piercing through the oppressive atmosphere created by Tai Yi Immortal Lord. The crushing pressure that had been weighing down on An Xin disappeared in an instant.

Inside the Dao Fruit Universe, the Jin Dong Seventy-Two Immortals felt that Gu An was even more arrogant than Tai Yi Immortal Lord, yet, strangely, they found themselves unable to curse him for it.

For some reason, when Gu An’s voice fell, all of them had an absurd thought—could Tai Yi Immortal Lord actually lose?

Standing before Gu An, even Tai Yi Immortal Lord seemed momentarily stunned. Although his eyes were hidden beneath the silver-threaded celestial band, his expression still showed clear surprise.

“Kneel before mortals?”

Tai Yi Immortal Lord’s voice was cold. The golden Dao Mark on his forehead ignited with raging flames, as if his anger had suddenly been set ablaze.

Boom—

The entire universe shattered in an instant!

Space fragments cracked apart like shattered glass, piercing into An Xin’s vision. Her Immortal Emperor Eyes widened, her violet pupils trembling.

She could sense the surrounding Great Dao Laws retreating at high speed, as if fleeing in terror. Infinite stars were rapidly stretching apart within the fragmented space.

Then, everything froze in an instant!

An Xin instinctively turned her head. No matter where she looked, all she could see were countless floating shards of space, layered upon each other, making her vision blur and sending chills down her spine.

The Heavenly Spirit Great World was destroyed!

The breath of all living beings had vanished!

And it happened in a single moment!

Her gaze locked onto Tai Yi Immortal Lord, who still stood before the Boundary Gate. The gate remained intact, and the overwhelming presence he radiated was the very embodiment of a celestial god.

Could he truly shatter an entire Great Thousand World with just his aura?

An Xin’s mind went blank as she stared dumbfounded at Tai Yi Immortal Lord.

The shattered universe was eerily silent, and even the Heavenly Dao Light within the Boundary Gate had dimmed, leaving it shrouded in gloom and mystery.

At that moment, she saw a pair of violet eyes emerge from the depths of the Boundary Gate behind Tai Yi Immortal Lord.

“That is…”

An Xin’s eyes widened. She recognized them immediately—Immortal Emperor Eyes!

Her master’s Immortal Emperor Eyes!

Standing behind Gu An, she could not see his face. Under Tai Yi Immortal Lord’s oppressive might, her divine sense was completely suppressed, leaving her incredibly curious about the expression her master wore as he activated his Immortal Emperor Eyes.

Yet, what sparked An Xin’s curiosity was Tai Yi Immortal Lord’s fear.

Tai Yi Immortal Lord stared at the violet light in Gu An’s eyes, gritting his teeth. “Immortal Emperor Eyes… No wonder you dare to oppose the Heavenly Court!”

He stood frozen, not because he was in awe, but because he was being suppressed by Gu An’s Immortal Emperor Eyes.

Gu An’s Immortal Emperor Eyes was not merely an ability to rewrite the past and alter reality. It possessed a great and boundless power, and given that Gu An’s cultivation surpassed that of Tai Yi Immortal Lord, suppressing him was as easy as lifting a finger.

The reason Gu An allowed Tai Yi Immortal Lord to unleash his might was simple—he wanted An Xin to witness the true power of celestial gods and experience her own weakness.

Ever since he began guiding An Xin in cultivating the Immortal Emperor Eyes, Gu An was determined to train her into his strongest disciple.

Tian Hao and An Hao were formidable, but that was because they had the backing of the Heavenly Court.

An Xin, on the other hand, was different. Though her comprehension was improving rapidly, she possessed no special fate or karmic ties. Gu An had already glimpsed Tian Hao’s Destiny Fate, which confirmed that ordinary An Xin truly had no extraordinary background.

Gu An looked down coldly at Tai Yi Immortal Lord. This guy had destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Great World with a single move—clearly, he feared that he wouldn't be able to defeat Gu An and was trying to create a commotion to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court.

Treating the lives of countless beings as mere nothing—how could such an act not be considered supremely evil?

Unfortunately for Tai Yi Immortal Lord, he had miscalculated.

The reason Gu An had engaged in idle talk with him earlier was not due to wishful thinking, but because he had already enveloped the entire Heavenly Spirit Great World with his Dao of Karma, severing its connection to the outside world.

He dared to do this because he was certain—this Tai Yi Immortal Lord was not merely a clone. This was the true strength of the Dao of Karma—for a clone, the original body was its cause.

Gu An did not respond to Tai Yi Immortal Lord. Countless Immortal Emperor Eyes began to emerge from the shattered void around them—some large, some small, densely packed, creating an overwhelming pressure.

An Xin raised her head, unable to count how many Immortal Emperor Eyes there were.

At this moment, she realized how weak her own pupil was. She wondered if she would ever reach her master’s level in this lifetime.

Within the Dao Fruit Universe, the Jin Dong Seventy-Two Immortals did not see the Immortal Emperor Eyes. In their eyes, the universe was simply in a state of destruction, and their master, Tai Yi Immortal Lord, had fallen into a strange stillness.

They were immortals, so they could clearly see—Tai Yi Immortal Lord was locked in some kind of struggle with Gu An.

After destroying the Heavenly Spirit Great World, Tai Yi Immortal Lord should not have stopped.

Which meant…

Tai Yi Immortal Lord was being suppressed!

As they looked at the shattered remnants of the universe, the Jin Dong Seventy-Two Immortals felt a chilling fear in their hearts.

Purple Dragon Star Lord furrowed his brows. He was shocked, even furious, at Tai Yi Immortal Lord’s destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

How could an Immortal God recklessly destroy a Great Thousand World?

After its remolding, the Heavenly Court had revoked the order for its destruction.

Even if the order had remained, it should have been carried out by the God of Destruction. No matter how high an immortal’s position was, they could not act arbitrarily.

For the so-called Heaven’s Son, did Tai Yi Immortal Lord truly need to go to such extremes?

A chaotic storm swirled in Purple Dragon Star Lord’s heart. He was loyal to Tai Yi Immortal Lord, but to him, the Heavenly Court was above all else.

He had supported Tai Yi Immortal Lord in standing behind a Heaven’s Son, yet Tai Yi Immortal Lord’s actions now made him suspect a deeper scheme behind this.

The Heaven’s Son was reborn in the Heavenly Spirit Great World. If Tai Yi Immortal Lord succeeded, how would the Heaven’s Son—who was bound to form deep connections with this world—view him?

There was no way Tai Yi Immortal Lord had not considered this.

Which meant… there was only one possibility.

“Could it be… you’re after the Bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor?”

A look of horror flashed in Purple Dragon Star Lord’s eyes. An uncontrollable fury surged from his heart. Then, his expression changed again.

Fury turned into utter disbelief.

Because he saw something impossible.

And not just him. The other Jin Dong Immortals also had drastic changes in their expressions—some even stood there in shock, unable to utter a word. Yet, not a single one broke the silence.

All of them were staring at the light screen ahead, eyes filled with incomprehension and shock.

Within the light screen, Tai Yi Immortal Lord's entire body trembled.

His legs began to bend.

It was as if he was about to… kneel before Gu An!

Gu An coldly watched Tai Yi Immortal Lord, continuously intensifying the pressure of his Immortal Emperor Eyes.

He could have forced Tai Yi Immortal Lord to kneel instantly, but he chose not to.

This slow, crushing descent into despair and humiliation was far more effective in making Tai Yi Immortal Lord regret and fear.

Even if he could not kill Tai Yi Immortal Lord outright, Gu An would make sure he was left with an unforgettable terror.

“You…”

Tai Yi Immortal Lord gritted his teeth, barely squeezing out a single word.

He was using all his strength—yet he could not resist the force pressing down on him.

He had almost forgotten what it felt like to be so completely powerless.

He was a Celestial Lord of the Heavenly Court—yet now, he was about to kneel before a mere mortal…

It was absurd.

The sheer rage and hatred surging inside him made him almost go mad, but madness would not save him!

As time passed, his hatred was slowly overtaken by despair.
