Chapter 495: Evil Has Never Prevailed Over Good, Because Of Ignorance...

As a loud rumble rang out, the entire Sky Deer City seemed to tremble. Immediately afterwards, a bloody shower poured down from the sky, accompanied by multicoloured crystal-clear divinity.

Everyone in front of Sky Deer City watched in horror as all the fluctuations calmed down under such a powerful and terrifying power.

The moment the spear penetrated Zhao Yunze's body, he was torn apart before he exploded into bits. The Nirvana Grade Sword in his hand started having dense cracks that let out a dazzling light. It seemed like it would break at any moment.

This scene left everyone in shock. The red spear entangled with hundreds of millions of divine light was like the legendary Spear of World Destruction, which brought endless disasters to all. It seemed to be able to tear apart the universe. In that brief second it crossed the sky, it wiped out the many figures that walked out of the Black Tortoise Flag.

The stars up in the sky trembled as the vast energy surged like a boiling ocean, bringing everyone to their knees.

Gu Changge's figure was vague and hazy as he stood in the sky, whereas his eyes were indifferent and unwavering, There were hundreds of millions of red glows in the palm of his hand which condensed into a blood-stained spear pointing at the sky. Clusters of silver flames surrounded him, prompting the void to make a scorching sound, as it threatened to collapse.

This was a shocking and terrifying scene which held unparalleled and boundless might to destroy the world. No one had the courage to challenge the spear.

"Young Master Yunze... That's impossible..."

"How can this be..."

Dazed, everyone in Sky Deer City looked at all this in horror. Their legs went limp, and they almost knelt because of the energy. This wasn't the outcome they had envisioned. Zhao Yunze had two supreme treasures on him, but still, he was defeated so quickly. His body had exploded and turned into a bloody rain.

Zhao Yunze's lover and friends instantly had the blood on their faces drained as they froze in place.

Someone's eyes had turned red from disbelief. They felt their hair stand on end as they raised their head and let out a pained roar.

"My son..." A grievous and murderous look appeared on the face of the Great Cloud Domain Master. He couldn't hold back from letting out an unimaginably painful howl, the terrifying momentum coming from within the barrier of Sky Deer City shook the sky and the hearts of the people.

Although he had a bad premonition right from the start, he never thought that Zhao Yunze would perish outside the city. Zhao Yunze. He should have at least been able to hurry back even if he lost, since he possessed a few supreme treasures.

However, Gu Changge managed to immediately turn him into bloodmist, sprinkled in the wasteland outside Sky Deer City just using his spear alone. There was no way the Domain Master could come to terms with what had happened. If it wasn't for the experts around him holding him back, he would have rushed ahead and fought Gu Changge.

"You mustn't act on impulse! Gu Changge is stronger than we have thought ."

"I'm afraid you will end up like Young Master Yunze if you go..."

Several True Daoists were solemnly holding him back to prevent him from acting in a fit of anger and rushing out of the city to fight Gu Changge. That was obviously not going to work. Furthermore, they felt that the power Gu Changge showcased earlier was stronger than the time outside Aether Abyss. They couldn't help but worry that the Domain Master wouldn't stand a chance against Gu Changge.

Shrouded in thick fog, the True Daoists from the Upper Realm couldn't help laughing when they saw the scene unfold. They might have been surprised by Gu Changge's ability, but this was a result they had anticipated.

"It seems like we have underestimated Young Master Changge! He managed to kill that insignificant ant in less than three moves."

"How beautiful that bleak colour of blood is... When this colour stains the entire Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, it will be the most touching view."

Right then, a True Daoist from the Upper Realm suddenly frowned. [Something's wrong. This energy I'm feeling... He's not dead!]

His eyes abruptly shot in the direction of the mloodmist, which was once Zhao Yunze. The expressions of the others, who were talking, also changed slightly before they looked over with a frown. Their divine senses detected some kind of change in the Principles of this world.

"Oh? You're rising from the ashes to get stronger, aren't you? Seems like my guess was right." Gu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment when the bloodmist in front of him seemed to suddenly combust, and a vast brilliance with Celestial Mist flew out.

At the same time, the sound of Dao began to echo and World Principles started appearing from the sky of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. an uncountable amount of Fortuity and Power of Faith surged from all sides of the world, like a boiling ocean of silver waves.

*Boom!* As if something was being built there, chains of Principles glided across the endless flames which gushed out.

"Isn't that..."

"It is! It's the aura of a True Daoist. Young Master Yunze didn't die. Instead, he took this opportunity to grow stronger!"

There were surprised exclamations from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. Many were shocked before they grew excited that Zhao Yunze had been reborn from the flames.

There was a vast and surging vitality which seemed to be accompanied by the beating of a heart.

*Bathump!*

*Bathump!*

The sound resounded through heaven and earth, and rang in the hearts of every cultivator. It contained an unimaginable Dao Energy that could even aid with the process of enlightenment.

This was an unbelievable scene of when a True Daoist emerged. Because of this great war, Zhao Yunze had brokethrough and gone one step further. If this was in ancient times, there would even be a Heavenly Tribulation to further temper him. However, this much was amazing enough. The entire universe seemed to be rolling backwards, and endless spiritual energy had turned into a wide, bubbling ocean.

All the experts from the older generation also breathed a sigh of relief as they smiled again. Many young prodigies clench their fists tightly while they stare at the glow outside Sky Deer City with hopeful eyes.

[I knew Young Master Yunze wouldn't just die like that! He's the one who stood above his peers back then after all!]

[60 million years have passed, but it can do nothing to Young Master Yunze!]

[The outcome of the battle might end up being different! When Young Master Yunze achieves the Great Dao, Gu Changge will find out how big the gap between him and the Young Master is...] Someone thought while secretly praying.

Everyone's chest was heavy from wanting Zhao Yunze to kill the enemies from the Upper Realm after he was reborn from the ashes.

[After breaking through, Young Domain Master Zhao Yunze's strength will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes! No one could have expected this. As I thought, evil has never prevailed over good! The heavens would help those who need it!]

"Gu Changge, I want to thank you for helping me. I would have been stuck trying to breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm otherwise." Zhao Yunze's figure emerged, but his face was vague and sirreal. He hadn't fully taken shape yet.

He had indeed almost died when he was torn apart by Gu Changge's spear that pierced him. Fortunately, the Great Cloud Domain's supreme treasure shone right on time, gathering a huge amount of Power of Faith. Zhao Yunze also felt that the Fortuity of the Domain had come together to protect his Soul.

With such an opportunity, he finally made a breakthrough in the face of danger, took a step forward in cultivation, and became a True Daoist who possessed the power to reverse the situation.

In other words, he was completely different from before.

"Hmm, it seems that your cultivation breakthrough has given you the confidence to say such words to me." Gu Changge simply smiled when he heard Zhao Yunze. He didn't seem to mind at all.

*Clang!* As Zhao Yunze reshaped his body, the Black Tortoise Flag waved again.

Due to its lack of strength before, it couldn't truly unleash its terrifying power. But now, it was like a terrifying curtain that shrouded the world as endless bloodlust and murderous aura manifested from it. The blood stain on the Black Tortoise Flag, especially, seemed to come alive, making the world quake. In a wasteland in the distance, golden sand flew and rushed up into the sky.

This was the power of a drop of blood from an Immortal.

Under Zhao Yunze's influence, the manifestations appeared again. Everyone could also hear a magnificent chant. It felt like there was a family of True Immortals sitting cross-legged in the depths of the Flag. All from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains were on the verge of kneeling down and worshiping this figure when they saw it.

This drop of blood had moved the Universal Great Shi and made every corner of the world boil.

[It seems that a True Immortal has died here... How dare he act presumptuously because of a mere drop of blood.] Gu Changge watched this scene with great interest.

Immediately afterwards, the red spear entangled with the Dao of Destruction in his hand thrusted forward in the direction of the True Immortal Blood. A bang followed suit. which shook the sky, and the land in front of Sky Deer City collapsed. All the stars then exploded into sparkly dust. Meanwhile, the red spear, which was supposed to be omnipotent, crumbled with a clink.

This was a terrifying power no one could have imagined. Just the power that oozed out of it was enough to make a Sacred Emperor Realm expert worship it.

Everyone was shocked to see the drop of True Immortal Blood wanting to turn into a True Immortal to defeat Gu Changge. The drop of blood felt like it was really coming back to life.

*Boom!* At this moment, even the faces of the experts from the Upper Realm fell when they felt this drop of True Immortal Blood. It was exerting pressure on them at the same time it tried to intimidate Gu Changge.

Laced with Celestial Energy, it was colourful when it first rolled down. However, it seemed to have been corroded when it ended up a dark shade of red. The void was soon penetrated with a bang. Nothing worked against it as it fell straight to Gu Changge.

Right then, everyone heard the sound of ancient chanting.

[Just a drop of blood has created such power that surpasses True Daoists. It would be terrifying if it is a True Immortal.]

Many couldn't help but have such chilling thoughts.

[What a pity...] Gu Changge had a regretful look in his eyes. He would have taken the blood away if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people here. He could use it as a resource to be refined, even if it was only a drop.

In the next moment, he flicked his sleeves, and a yellow gourd emerged. It was only the size of a palm in the beginning, but its aura was so majestic that it seemed like the universe could collapse because of it.

*Swoosh!* The mouth of the gourd shot out a colourful immortal beam, which floated in the sky. The light then grew in size until it turned into a bottomless abyss.

"It's the Immortal-Killing Gourd..."

Many Elders from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains were shell-shocked when they recognised the supreme treasure, which was lost during the battle with the Upper Realm. No one had been able to find it even after many years had passed. However, Gu Changge had appeared at the Boundary Marker Sea some time ago to snatch it away.

Compared to its reputation in the rumours, the current Immortal-Killing Gourd was definitely more terrifying. It must have been further upgraded in Gu Changge's hands. Just the endless bloodlust and murderous aura of the gourd was horrifying enough.

As the revived drop of True Immortal Blood tried to suppress Gu Changge, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in Gu Changge's hand also sprayed out a thick beam, trying to devour the True Immortal Blood. However, the True Immortal Blood felt the fluctuation, and it began to let out a blood-coloured red glow, which quickly enlarged into the size of an ocean as it swept over the world. Even True Daoists couldn't help feeling their stomach drop when they saw this.

The moment a terrifying momentum erupted, the world went silent. While the Immortal-Killing Gourd tried to swallow this drop of True Immortal Blood, the blood also wanted to pierce through the gourd.

"Die, Gu Changge! This will bring an end to today's battle. Evil has never prevailed over good, and that will never change!" Zhao Yunze, who had already reshaped his body, took the chance to charge forward again. His eyes were full of murderous intent as he angrily roared.

His aura at this moment was very different from before. He was constantly manifesting the energy of a True Daoist, which resonated with the world and surrounded Principles.

His Nirvana Grade Sword glowed, and a shockingly brilliant light shone as the cracks on it began to heal, forming an unbelievable sword. The sword was linked to Zhao Yunze, and got stronger along with its Master.

It could now kill even a True Daoist!

Countless Cultivators from Sky Deer City watching all this felt their heartbeats surge and their blood boil. It was as if they had witnessed the sword drawing Gu Changge's blood. The pressure Gu Changge put on them was too overwhelming, and they desperately hoped to see Gu Changge harmed. This feeling only skyrocketed to an unimaginable level after Zhao Yunze was reborn from the ashes.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you twice... Is this what your 'courage' is? Fearlessness brought about by ignorance?" Feeling the rampant energy heading towards him, Gu Changge raised his eyes with a slight frown on his face. His eyes were cold and devoid of emotion when he looked away from the True Immortal Blood.

A pitch-black blade appeared in his hand the next second. The weapon's Nirvana Grade aura was mighty, despite not putting any energy into it yet.

Majestic and thick Qi gushed out and slashed in Zhao Yunze's direction!

*Boom!* This attack carried an unthinkable amount of energy, which disregarded time and engulfed the universe. Seeing the unparalleled power unleashed, everyone from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains turned pale. The sky looked like it was about to explode.

The surging energy just now made them freeze in an instant, and they almost prostrated themselves or kneel in its direction. At this moment, even their souls were trembling so much that they had no control over themselves.

They hadn't expected Gu Changge had not taken his fight with Zhao Yunze before seriously.

On top of being a Dao Artifact cultivated to the Nirvana Grade, the Solar Heavenly Blade was once owned by the Solar Demon Overlord. The moment its full power was unleashed, the entire universe seemed to explode, and was annihilated under the energy of this weapon.

"This..." Zhao Yunze unknowingly turned ashen. He felt the sword in his hand shake as it struggled to continue to bear this attack.

However, he had nowhere to retreat to at this point.

When the terrifying attacks collided, this place turned blurry all of a sudden as an endless light shone. Chaos Qi gushed out and flooded this place and no one could see clearly what happened because of the stinging in their eyes.

Even the True Daoists quickly looked away. They couldn't look directly in the direction, where they could feel bursts of brilliant Blade Qi and Sword Qi colliding. This scene was comparable to endless exploding stars, which were as dazzling as it was piercing.

But in the end...

*Puff!* A bloody rain, more brilliant than the one before, splashed out like an erupting galaxy, covering the whole world in red.

The faces of those from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains turned pale, and they could only dazedly stand still in place...
