"Boom—"
The Immortal Vanquishing Spear descended from the sky, and Gu Tiangang instinctively rallied his qi and blood. The protective qi around him solidified into a tight shield.
In an instant, the radiant golden spear clashed head-on with the protective qi.
The two immense forces collided violently, and the hastily gathered protective qi shattered instantly. The golden spear pierced through the qi like paper and struck heavily against his chest.
"Pfft!"
The sound of flesh being pierced echoed. When the power of the God-Slaying Spear was exhausted, a terrifying blood hole appeared on Gu Tiangang's chest. However, there was no gushing blood; instead, the flesh wriggled and healed visibly.
Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, the blood hole healed completely within moments.
Gu Tiangang's eyes turned icy cold, locking onto Shen Xue. His rugged face was overflowing with murderous intent.
"Hmph, I never thought a mere True Lord would dare to break my protective qi and injure me so severely!"
"To injure a saint with the power of a True Lord is something to be proud of."
"But you have yet to step into the saint realm. Otherwise, that strike just now might have truly killed me!"
Slaying a saint!
To kill a saint with the power of a True Lord!
In any era, this is an astonishing feat.
Only those peerless geniuses and monstrous talents might fight a saint with the power of a True Lord. Such individuals, barring any accidents, would surely achieve the rank of quasi-emperor or even ascend to the emperor's throne in the future.
Shocked and furious.
At this moment, Gu Tiangang's heart surged with killing intent. He no longer wanted to entangle with the people of the Qingyang Realm. Everyone present today had to pay with their lives.
"What a pity!"
On the other side, Shen Xue's face was also pale. Seeing Gu Tiangang's chest wound heal rapidly, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.
Just a bit more!
If her cultivation had been a step higher or if she had mastered a true seventh-rank forbidden spell, that strike just now would have definitely killed Gu Tiangang.
One must know.
From the start of this battle, the Heavenly Court had issued a related task, one of which was to kill Saint Gu Tiangang.
Whoever could successfully kill Gu Tiangang would earn ten billion offering points.
For anyone, ten billion offering points were undoubtedly a huge temptation.
However.
The foundation of a seventh-rank saint is terrifying, not only in their immense strength but also in their incredible recovery abilities.
Ordinary cultivators would be severely injured or even killed if their chest were pierced like that, even if their heart was not hit.
But for Gu Tiangang, such an injury only made him hurt, not even seriously injured.
This revealed the formidable power of saint-level experts.
"Boom!"
Gu Tiangang's qi and blood surged to the sky. At the same time, a terrifying force erupted from the direction of Gu Huang Cave. Soon, a long-sealed saint weapon broke free and fell into his hand through the void.
Only then did everyone see the true form of the divine weapon in Gu Tiangang's hand.
It was an entirely golden spear, with the tip exuding a faint golden blood that seemed never to dry. A chilling pressure emanated from the spear, causing Zhang Ming and others' expressions to change drastically.
"A saint's supreme treasure!"
"This is the foundation of Gu Huang Cave!"
It was no secret that Gu Huang Cave possessed a saint's supreme treasure, but witnessing it firsthand made them deeply appreciate its overwhelming power. Even the sharp aura it emitted was intimidating.
Zhang Ming clutched the Taichu Mirror tightly, his gaze on the golden spear filled with solemnity.
Clearly.
This spear was a higher-grade saint treasure than the Taichu Mirror.
"This spear is called Dragon Slayer, a top-grade saint treasure. Our ancestor of Gu Huang Cave once used it to nail a quasi-emperor. The quasi-emperor's blood has not dried for tens of thousands of years."
"You all should consider it an honor to die under the Dragon Slayer Spear!"
Holding the Dragon Slayer, the sight of quasi-emperor blood on the spear tip made Zhang Ming and the others' hearts sink.
A treasure that once nailed a quasi-emperor!
Seeing the quasi-emperor's blood that had flowed for tens of thousands of years without drying, everyone's brows furrowed deeply.
They could barely withstand Gu Tiangang alone. Now, with a top-grade saint treasure, the danger level soared to the peak.
"This battle is getting even more challenging!"
Gu Fang took a deep breath. His Overlord Divine Blood was nearly exhausted. Despite having a divine body for protection, Gu Tiangang had the foundation of a saint body.
The disparity in their realms was too great to contend with.
However—
Looking at the other battlefield, the Qingyang Realm and Gu Huang forces were fiercely fighting, with countless cultivators falling, their blood staining the ground.
The fallen included both Qingyang and Gu Huang cultivators.
Regardless, there was no turning back in this battle. If they could not stop Gu Tiangang, the million-strong army of the Qingyang Realm might be annihilated.
Despite the Qingyang Realm still having its sovereign in place, Gu Fang was no longer the inexperienced warrior he once was. He would not entirely place his life and death in others' hands.
He had been the commander of the Eighteen Alliances and was now an elder of the Qingyang Immortal Nation. At this moment, he must fight for the nation.
"Kill!"
Gu Fang's eyes regained their determination. He swallowed a pill, and his nearly exhausted qi and blood instantly revived. His vigorous blood energy surged like rivers and illuminated the sky.
His immense blood energy transformed into a towering figure in the void. Gu Fang stepped into the air, charging straight at Gu Tiangang.
As Gu Fang attacked, Zhang Ming and the others' expressions changed, and they also launched their assaults on Gu Tiangang.
To this.
The latter showed a contemptuous smile.
"Overestimating yourselves!"
The Dragon Slayer swept across the space, its sharp edge tearing through the void as if splitting the world in two, crushing all incoming attacks.
"Boom—"
Gu Fang and the others were struck as if by a heavy hammer, spraying blood as they fell to the ground.
Just as Gu Tiangang was about to strike again to finish them off, a royal sword aura suddenly spanned three thousand miles, its might like an emperor descending to the mortal realm.
Gu Tiangang's expression changed slightly as he swung the Dragon Slayer, instantly shattering the incoming sword aura.
The clash of the two forces caused the space to collapse instantly.
A familiar figure walked in the air, surrounded by surging sword intent. Under the strongest royal sword intent, he seemed like the emperor of swords.
"Gu Tiangang, do you still remember me, Zuo?"
