"You use your previous life's corpse as the foundation to summon the Ancient Gods. After this, you've offended so many people, without the protection of a second reincarnation's corpse, how long do you think you can survive?"

Xu Guang asked softly.

Qin Cultivator sneered, "I've said it before, in the face of death, everyone is equal. This... is the Great Duke's way!"

"Alright, the little girl is already gone. Now, please go ahead."

Xu Guang nodded. The place where Bai Xiaozhu was detained was outside the mine, and the chaos within the mine hadn't affected her.

He couldn't care whether Qin Cultivator still had some tricks up his sleeve against Bai Xiaozhu. He couldn't wait until everyone was dead and the Ancient God had fully descended to make his move against Qin Cultivator.

By then, there would be no chance at all.

So he walked toward the direction of the Bronze Blood Gate, with General Wei following closely behind.

Qin Cultivator didn't pay him any mind. Although the Ancient Elephant was rare, it was just that, a Third Grade Ancient Elephant could not threaten his plan.

Xu Guang looked at the apocalyptic scene in the distance with complex eyes. Being with Qin Cultivator, he didn't need to face those directly, but he could still feel the despair these people faced.

He didn't have much attachment to the Celestial Cyan Mine, but he thought of many things.

He thought of Li Taizhou more than two thousand years ago, it must have faced such a scene.

Purple Dipper led people there and guarded Li Taizhou for three thousand years.

Now that Purple Dipper has completely fallen, who will save Li Taizhou?

In Li Taizhou, there are his relatives, his friends, disciples, mentors, brothers...

There is food he loves, scenery he never tires of...

If today's Li Taizhou faces such an apocalyptic scene, how will it change?

Xu Guang dared not imagine.

'Today, I must survive, Li Taizhou…'

Two men and one elephant, one after another, arrived at the Bronze Blood Gate.

Everything was harmonious, Qin Cultivator wouldn't make a move against Xu Guang before entering the Bronze Blood Gate.

Because the upheaval had brought the blood gate, which should have been deeply buried underground, back to the light of day.

"You go in first." Qin Cultivator said.

Xu Guang chuckled, "Someone like you, is there actually something you're afraid of?"

Qin Cultivator didn't reply.

But at that moment, Xu Guang suddenly turned around and unleashed a surprising sword strike.

The Bronze Blood Sword soared like a True Dragon, a river of Sword Qi surged backward, illuminating the land for thirty miles around.

Qin Cultivator, as if anticipating this, suddenly reached out, his cyan-purple palm brimming with deadly poison, clutching the attacking sword light, the toxic mist instantly obliterating and corroding it.

"You really are unruly!"

He had anticipated this, yet a hint of anger still showed in his eyes.

He had already been very merciful to Xu Guang.

"If you don't cooperate, then just watch that little girl die!"

As he spoke, he once again revealed the scene of Bai Xiaozhu's location.

He saw Bai Xiaozhu, just exposed to daylight, suddenly convulsing all over, her face turning cyan-purple, falling to the ground motionless.

Xu Guang's eyes looked ready to burst.

Standing atop General Wei, Demonic Power and Qi Force perfectly fused, launching an attack regardless of the consequences.

Sword light, flames, Martial Dao true intent, every means at his disposal, he used them all desperately.

Qin Cultivator raised his hand, his cyan-purple hands were thin as bones but seemed like the world's most unbreakable shield.

Crushing all of Xu Guang and General Wei's attacks.

He cultivated both poison and plague, reaching the pinnacle, being able to poison everything in existence and inject poison into all material existence.

Sword light, flames, even Martial Dao true intent, continuously decayed, turning to flying ashes.

Even on the crystal eye atop Xu Guang's head, streaks of cyan-purple airflow slowly appeared, resembling cracks.

"Weak, so weak. The current you, before me, is so frail!"

Qin Cultivator laughed aloud, leisurely approaching Xu Guang in the face of his attack.

Xu Guang panted, determination flashed in his eyes.

"Then let's see if Emperor Shitian's legacy is also this weak before you!"

With that said, he turned and rushed towards the Bronze Blood Gate.

Qin Cultivator's expression finally changed.

He was desperately searching for Xu Guang, all for Emperor Shitian's legacy, even though he believed Xu Guang's frail strength and Divine Soul could never withstand the greatness of that existence's path and legacy.

But what if?!

He had given too much, he had to consider it.

The sunk cost was too great; even someone like Qin Cultivator couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

He didn't pay attention to General Wei, merely punched towards it with a cyan-purple toxic mist, then dashed into the Bronze Blood Gate.

...

At the top level of the Emperor Tower.

An old man with white hair held an abacus in one hand, quickly moving its beads with the other.

"We've hit the jackpot, we've got to get that Token from Tianwu and study it thoroughly this time, no matter what."

He thought to himself gleefully, finally seizing the opportunity, he couldn't miss it.

At that moment, an overwhelmingly evil presence was felt.

He jumped up and looked towards the direction outside the city.

"Damn, where did this little bastard come from, bringing the Ancient God here? Damn your ancestors!"

'Could these be stirred up by that kid who borrowed the Holy Artifact? Damn, looks like I haven't gained much this time!'

...

In Beiji City, a deathly aura emanated from the mine, forming terrifying ripples that quickly spread, almost all the strong sensed it.

They all looked outside the city, then set off!

...

Bai Xiaozhu felt extremely unlucky, Xu Guang asked her to find something, and she cheerfully followed Xu Guang out, only to find the other person wasn't Xu Guang.

So she was captured.

What made her even more desperate was the deadly poison in her system!

'I'm going to die, really going to die this time, Cai, can you die with me?'

Cai suddenly got agitated, chirping and tweeting angrily at Bai Xiaozhu.

Bai Xiaozhu's face turned bluish-purple, a hint of embarrassment flickering in her eyes, she thought, and then said again.

"Then promise me, after I die, you won't seek out anyone else, I don't want my bird to be picked up by someone and used directly."

Cai looked at Bai Xiaozhu in disbelief, feeling that he had misjudged her character, encountering such an unreliable master.

It chirped and tweeted, complaining about Bai Xiaozhu.

In the squabble between the two oddballs, Bai Xiaozhu seemed to have forgotten about her poisoning.

Until…

A chuckle sounded.

Bai Xiaozhu then saw Yuan Shuang's face covered in frost, but with a hint of an uncontrollable smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Senior Sister, is it you? Did you die too?"

Yuan Shuang:...

In one sentence, Yuan Shuang's icy demeanor vanished.

She was truly speechless.

After witnessing the changes in the Celestial Cyan Mine from afar, she was actually furious, her heart filled with killing intent that she could no longer restrain, recklessly rushing forward.

Unexpectedly, she ran into this pair of oddballs, the conversation between them somewhat shook her Dao heart.

She ignored Bai Xiaozhu, reached out and cast a Daoist Technique, forming the word 'Suppress' on Bai Xiaozhu's forehead.

"It's really rare for someone to be so carefree like you."

Upon sensing the poison Bai Xiaozhu had, she became even more speechless.

Qin Cultivator seemed to want to use Bai Xiaozhu to show Xu Guang his control over everything.

The poison placed on Bai Xiaozhu was strong, and nearly incurable when it acted, this poison would cause one to die in despair.

Just didn't expect Bai Xiaozhu to be so carefree, able to argue with her bird at the last moment.

"Okay, we'll talk about your poison later, what's the situation in the mine?"

Bai Xiaozhu shook her head cluelessly.

A sigh was heard from high up.

Yuan Shuang recognized it, it was the voice of Master Lingchuan Saint, she glared at Bai Xiaozhu.

Master was probably speechless about Bai Xiaozhu too.

...

Qin Cultivator had just entered the Bronze Blood Gate, immediately met with a giant Wolf Fang Club.

Electric lights danced on the Wolf Fang Club, an aura beyond Second Nirvana manifested on it.

"Holy Artifact? Is this your confidence?"

A hint of contempt appeared in Qin Cultivator's eyes, seemingly predicting everything in front of him, he raised his hand, an exquisite bone palm appeared, relentlessly grasping the Wolf Fang Club.

A teeth-grinding sound echoed in the air.

Demon Qi soared into the sky, a figure seemed to manifest within the bone palm, his face chiseled, majestic, with hair like a waterfall.

Xu Guang's expression remained unchanged.

Not surprised at all by Qin Cultivator possessing a Holy Artifact, just didn't expect the grade of the opponent's Holy Artifact seemed extremely high, its potency and spirituality seemingly far superior to his Wolf Fang Club.

"A Holy Artifact made from a Saint King's bones, how could it be compared to the junk in your hands!?"

Qin Cultivator spoke with disdain.

Xu Guang let out a low roar, put away the Wolf Fang Club, using the aftermath, his figure flew backward, landing, turning around, and desperately running towards Da Xue Mountain.

'Since Qin Cultivator doesn't have Extreme Soul Power, how will he resist the Divine Soul Vortex atop Da Xue Mountain?'

He looked at the hazy talisman atop Da Xue Mountain, waiting for the talisman suppressing that strange power to disappear, then the real showdown would begin.
