The thunder light dissipated, and the world was finally no longer shrouded in darkness. Many bone cultivators who only dared to retreat from Gu Qingyang also discovered Gu Qingyang.
As the executors of the sect's orders, at this time, these people should have approached Gu Qingyang as soon as possible to check the target's status.
But at this moment, apart from letting out bursts of exclamations, these people did not dare to do anything extra.
There was no way... more than seven years passed quietly. Seven years ago, they would have respected their origin and strength and looked down on Gu Qingyang.
But now it is seven years later.
In the past few years, they all saw how terrifying Gu Qingyang was, what kind of person Gu Qingyang was, and how strong Gu Qingyang was...
Many of them were no longer the first group of people to come to monitor Gu Qingyang, because the first group of people were already dead and injured.
After careful calculation, many of them are in the third or fourth batch, or even the fifth or sixth batch. Those who belong to the second batch are very few.
This is a major achievement of Gu Qingyang's tribulation.
After all, Gu Qingyang is a unique and supreme being in this world. His practice is not only walking the path of past lives, but also opening up the path of this life.
He is an extremely special person, a person who is very different from anyone else. His spiritual path is destined to be bumpy, but also destined to be glorious.
Therefore, it is the same horrific killing calamity for the first time entering the eighth realm. Others' killing calamity will only last a few days and months, while his killing calamity lasts seven years.
In fact... for many powerful bone cultivators, seven years is not a long time at all. It may be just the time they need to retreat once.
But the problem is... In these seven years, which is neither long nor short, Gu Qingyang has successfully made everyone see how terrible he is.
At the beginning of the tribulation, Gu Qingyang was a bone cultivator in the sinless realm. From that moment on, he was able to reveal the mysterious essence of ten thousand ways and fight against the group of cultivators.
Refining the formation of others to kill others.
Evolve your own way to defeat Shakya.
Confront the sky with your own strength.
These three major things Gu Qingyang did were all done when he was in the state of innocence. From that moment on, he shocked the world.
Not to mention that later, during a catastrophe, he actually created eight billion Dao marks. This is absolutely an unprecedented achievement.
On a normal day, if such a terrifying genius appeared, not to mention those first-level forces, even the major super orthodoxy would definitely compete for him.
But in the end...such a person is destined to be an enemy of everyone. He is a weak and young demon with the reputation of destroying the world.
The current situation is that everyone is very aware of the threat of Gu Qingyang. They all know that once they let Gu Qingyang leave, they will let the tiger return to the mountain.
Nowadays, Gu Qingyang has only reached the eighth level of cultivation, and he can possess such terrifying strength that is not consistent with common sense.
If Gu Qingyang is really allowed to leave, then Gu Qingyang will continue to practice hard after leaving. Given time, what kind of demon will appear in the future?
This is everyone's concern.
From those super-Orthodox high-ranking people to some unknown small cultivators, everyone will have such worries.
In the past seven years, especially in the last few years, great visions have begun to appear throughout the wilderness world, and Tianji Shen Pavilion has issued prophecies one after another.
Even the Palace of Eternal Life has begun to gather the righteous bone cultivators from all over the world, and the demons of the evil path are also ready to move.
Even...even the major wild beast races that have never been very united, even those creatures have begun to become united.
How can anyone with a keen eye fail to see the current trend?
The people who are now responsible for monitoring Gu Qingyang in the place where Gu Qingyang is crossing the tribulation have a very clear understanding of their own position.
They knew that with their strength... it was simply impossible for them to kill Gu Qingyang.
Even if they tried their best, even if they tried their best, they felt that the most they could do was to seriously injure Gu Qingyang.
In fact, even if they are so-called seriously injured, they can't fight.
Because their assessment of Gu Qingyang's combat power is still at the time of overcoming the tribulation.
Looking at this posture now, Gu Qingyang has obviously succeeded in overcoming the tribulation. Any bone cultivator who succeeds in overcoming the tribulation in the eighth realm will have a huge increase in strength.
Even a fool would not believe that Gu Qingyang's current strength is not as good as when he overcame the tribulation. Therefore, they only dare to watch from a distance.
But at the same time, those responsible for monitoring also immediately reported the news caused by Gu Qingyang back to their respective sects.
This is also part of the sect's order.
Who said they were destined to be unable to kill Gu Qingyang now? Even if they have high morale, even if they have a heart to eliminate demons and defend the law, it's useless.
"Comrades of the Xihuang Ancient Sect, please be kind to me. I am the Holy Son of the Xihuang Ancient Sect, and the order given by the sect is to kill this person!"
"yes."
"Comrades of the Western Ancient Religion, all of you should listen carefully and retreat quickly. Don't linger. This demon has just been born and is at its peak."
"Amitabha--"
…
Soon, figures emerged from the horizon further away. Those people are not monitors, but people who come here to support.
It has to be said that the leaders of various major traditions were actually very foresighted about the fact that Gu Qingyang was about to complete the tribulation.
Long before the monitors passed the news back, the foresighted people in power took one step ahead of the monitors and sent people in advance.
Those in power and superiors do this to prevent problems before they happen.
Now it seems that these people's decision was obviously the right one.
Now, it is the time for Gu Qingyang to completely overcome the disaster and escape from the predicament. Moreover, due to the arrangements of the Supreme Heaven, Gu Qingyang was still seriously injured.
If he attacks Gu Qingyang at this moment, there is still a great possibility of success. Of course, the appearance of these people is actually the arrangement of the Supreme Heaven.
Supreme Heaven never expected to let these people kill Gu Qingyang, he knew it would be difficult.
Therefore, the real plan of the Supreme Heaven is to let these people tarnish Gu Qingyang's reputation first.
As long as Gu Qingyang falls into the eternal infamy of a world-destroying madman, it will be easy to mobilize the "chess pieces" he has prepared long ago.
Highest God... Such efforts are actually setting up a situation, a killing situation that is very similar to the killing situation Gu Qingyang faced in his previous life.
Same situation, same layout.
Same enemy, same situation.
The difference is... Gu Qingyang now only has the eighth level of cultivation. Even though he has eight billion dao marks, he only has the eighth level.
Coupled with the constraints caused by being seriously injured, the combat power that Gu Qingyang can truly display is actually extremely limited.
In this way, as long as Gu Qingyang becomes the enemy of the whole world in the future, the combat forces sent by the Taoists will naturally have hope of killing him.
However, these are God's arrangements.
Heaven can know man, but man cannot know heaven.
Don't look at those people in power who are of the great orthodoxy. They are indeed very discerning, but no matter how discerning they are, they still act humanely and conduct human affairs.
They cannot cultivate the way of heaven, because they have never done many things that go against heaven, and they have never expressed any thoughts of going against the way of heaven.
If Tiandao is compared to a person... an incarnation of Tiandao similar to the Supreme Heaven and Zizitian, then Gu Qingyang dared to kill Tiandao.
And these people...if they were asked to face the so-called sky, they might not even have the courage to look at others.
This is the difference between those people and Gu Qingyang.
However, as "chess pieces", those people do not need to have a high level of life.
As far as the Supreme Heaven is concerned, as long as these people are doing what they are supposed to do, it will be fine.
In the eyes of the Supreme Heaven, there is no difference whether they are those in power of several levels or levels of power, or those in super orthodoxy.
There is even no difference between those in power and the monitors fighting on the front lines. Because they are just "chess pieces".
Chess pieces are chess pieces.
Even if we really want to talk about the size and strength, we can only explain it as having different functions. In other words, different chess pieces have different functions.
The heaven and the earth are the board, and all living beings are the sons... In such a game of chess, all living beings are the sons, and only Gu Qingyang is the one playing chess with the sky.
This is the truth.
It's a pity... Even now, there are only very few people who know the truth. But those who know the truth will also side with Gu Qingyang.
Take Fan Linlang for example.
In the eyes of many creatures, even many orc creatures, the reason why Fan Linlang worked so hard to help Gu Qingyang was entirely because of her deep affection.
In fact... even if she puts aside personal emotional factors and makes a choice again, Fan Linlang will still choose Gu Qingyang.
Because she has seen the truth, she does not want "all living beings" to become "chess pieces". She just wants all living beings to have true freedom.
Another example is Su Yue.
Su Yong did not have the grand ideals of Fan Linlang. Su Yong helped Gu Qingyang because of pure feelings.
But...if there was no love factor between her and Gu Qingyang, she would never be an enemy of Gu Qingyang if she knew the truth.
Because Su Yue doesn't love all living beings.
Everyone in the world says that the Wonderful Sound Immortal Sect is a super orthodoxy based on the righteous path. In fact, this super orthodoxy is actually in a neutral state.
As the founder of this super orthodoxy, this orthodoxy will uphold this will, which is naturally related to Su Yue, the founder.
Su Yue's world is really small, as small as her four disciples, and as small as the Miaoyin Immortal Sect.
Is this her fault?
No, she was just following her own path. This world is like this. Since ancient times, there have been generous and tragic people for the sake of justice.
That kind of person is indeed worthy of admiration, and that kind of person deserves the respect of others. But there is no shortage of extremely evil people in this world.
In addition, there are many kinds of creatures in this world. Among them, there are many people like Su Yue who don't like fighting very much.
In the previous life, the Miaoyin Immortal Sect seemed to have indeed been the enemy of Gu Qingyang in the final battle.
But that was because Gu Qingyang was already the enemy of the entire world at that time. If the Miaoyin Immortal Sect did not destroy Gu Qingyang, the Miaoyin Immortal Sect would be gone.
And here it is, everything has changed again.
Because of the arrangement of heaven and the choice of Gu Qingyang and Su Yue.
Unknowingly, the life and death of the Miaoyin Immortal Sect was already related to Gu Qingyang.
If Gu Qingyang can really prove the Tao, he can really lead that road to the end again. The Wonderful Sound Immortal Sect will naturally become more glorious with his glory.
In other words, if Gu Qingyang fails to succeed in his fight to the end, the Miaoyin Immortal Sect will definitely not have an easy life in the future.
Who knows what kind of relationship Gu Qingyang and Su Yue have.
This is cause and effect, this is the relationship between chess pieces. This kind of relationship is extremely complicated once it is derived.
Although Gu Qingyang is a chess player playing against the sky at one end of the chessboard, at the same time, isn't Gu Qingyang himself involved in the game?
This game is never fair.
"Hehehehehehahahahaha——"
The moment he saw a large group of bone cultivators attacking him, Gu Qingyang, whose injuries had only improved a little, couldn't help but burst into laughter that shook the world.
He smiled so uninhibitedly, and he smiled so arrogantly. It was as if there was no living being in this world who could be his enemy.
In fact, this was just due to Gu Qingyang's state of mind.
After experiencing the Eight Heavenly Tribulations, he had already put aside life and death and even ignored it.
In his view, life and death are just a process in the evolution of life, nothing more.
The eighth realm is also called the Thousand Soul Tribulation.
As the name suggests, if you want to cultivate this realm, if you want to cultivate this realm to perfection, you must let your soul continue to experience thunder and calamity.
Then, you have to strengthen your soul during the thunder tribulation, improve the quality of your soul and inscribe yourself with Dao marks. This is the Thousand Soul Tribulation.
When practicing in this realm, any savvy bone cultivator can more or less understand some of the mysteries of the soul path.
Take Gu Qingyang for example.
At the end of this catastrophe, he realized the truth. That is... maybe the death of the soul is not the real death.
In the eyes of the world, as long as a creature experiences the death of its soul, it is considered to have completely disappeared from this world.
Gu Qingyang originally agreed with this point of view.
But he still found something wrong, and the characteristics of this place were reflected in him.
He...isn't he a person who can never be changed?
No matter how powerful ordinary creatures are, as long as they go through reincarnation a few more times, they will eventually forget their past selves and become someone else.
But he will never forget himself. From the moment he broke through the seventeenth realm, his soul underwent some kind of earth-shaking transformation.
From that moment on, reincarnation could no longer change him. In other words, no matter how many times he dies, he will still be the same person again.
Of course, that is the death of the body.
But...all living things have instincts. Instinct is an innate ability of living beings. Living beings can trust their own instincts unconditionally.
Because this ability exists because living beings need an innate ability to continue to survive.
And Gu Qingyang's instinct told him that even if his soul also experienced death, if he could be reborn, he would still be himself.
This kind of understanding does still need to be verified, but Gu Qingyang is willing to believe in instinct and himself.
Therefore, that enlightenment allowed him to further understand life and death from a rather nihilistic perspective. His Taoist heart also became stronger as a result.
"You all come together."
"do not waste time."
"Of course, if any of you are lucky enough to continue to live, don't forget to help me declare to this entire wilderness."
"I, Gu Qingyang, want to go to war with the sky. Those who don't block my way can live. Anyone who blocks my way will die!"
…
Facing the bone cultivator charging at him, Gu Qingyang spoke resolutely after laughing, expressing his attitude domineeringly in the most direct words.
At the end of his words, his face, which was only half full of flesh and blood, revealed a sneer, making everyone who paid attention to him tremble with fear.
There was no way... Gu Qingyang's appearance was too intimidating.
Even if each of them is strong enough to intimidate a party, Gu Qingyang can still make them feel that death is right in front of their eyes.
"kill!"
Those bone cultivators didn't talk nonsense. Hundreds of them roared angrily before killing Gu Qingyang. At the same time, terrifying pressure also began to emerge.
In the ninth realm, ten thousand bones are difficult.
The tenth realm is the appearance of all saints.
The eleventh realm is the birth of ashes.
In the twelfth realm, dust rises.
The thirteenth realm, Fanhai!
Gu Qingyang has already noticed that among the people who are attacking him, there are definitely bone cultivators with thirteen levels of cultivation, and there are quite a few of them.
Obviously, those super orthodox people also paid enough attention to him. With his current state, the next battle will indeed be a fierce battle.
But he is not afraid.
At the moment when many bone cultivators were killing him, wasn't he killing these bone cultivators? He had already prepared for what might happen.
"Ask Qingtian."
His shouts came from the depths of the sky, and as his shouts resounded throughout the world, dark thunder also emerged from his body, emitting bright thunder.
"Boom!"
"Rumble--"
"Rumble--"
…
The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world again, but this time, the sound of thunder was no longer the kind of sound that would occur when a natural disaster strikes.
Feeling the difference in the sound, the bone cultivators couldn't help but feel relaxed in their hearts. Yes, the catastrophe is over, what else do they have to fear?
But the next moment, all their expressions changed.
I saw...the dark thunder surrounded all of them almost instantly, and then caused them irreversible damage.
"ah--"
Wails would be heard from the crowd from time to time, and for just a moment, a tragic image appeared on the entire sky.
At the same moment, Gu Qingyang was still sneering.
His eighth-level murderous calamity was indeed over, but that didn't mean that he couldn't take advantage of it.
After all, he had also practiced the Way of Thunder.
In the eyes of others, the killing thunder that descends from the sky is the exclusive product of heaven. It is a force that cannot be looked at directly and cannot be controlled.
For him, that's not the case.
…
