Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Kao Mountain Sect!

At this moment, the Mountain Protection Array of Kao Mountain Sect had already been activated!

The light screen of the Array was covered in cracks!

It looked as if it could collapse at any time!

In front of the mountain gate, that petite girl stood at the very front, her expression utterly resolute!

Behind her were only a scant few fellow disciples, but their faces were just as steadfast!

And opposite them, black mist billowed!

Countless ferocious, twisted black shapes were letting out silent howls!

Madly battering against that tottering Array light screen!

Danger!

Extreme danger!

That sliver of ”Xu Ran’s” clarity flared to the utmost in this instant!

As though it would burn out completely in the next second!

Gui Xu’s gaze suddenly sharpened!

In the depths of that indifference, for the first time a trace of true chill burst forth!

Not aimed at anyone.

But at this ”accident” that was about to shatter the balance within his body!

He disliked accidents.

Even more did he dislike this feeling of being dragged along by a ”weak” will!

Yet as he watched that light screen on the verge of shattering, watched that resolute girl’s figure, felt the near-pleading tremor of that sliver of clarity within him, and the increasingly uncontrollable destructive impulse of the Power of Destruction.

Gui Xu made a decision.

”Since you want to go back.”

”Then go back!”

His icy voice rang out in the deathly silent void.

In the next instant!

The Chaos Profound Sword in his hand suddenly slashed forward!

Boom.

This sword held nothing back!

The indifference of ancient will!

The annihilation of the Power of Destruction!

And even a trace of urgency that Gui Xu himself failed to notice, originating from Xu Ran’s clarity!

The sword was unleashed!

The void ahead was like a fragile painting!

Torn apart in an instant!

A massive spatial rift spanning endless Star Domains suddenly appeared!

On the other end of that rift was precisely that Southern Celestial Star Domain being corroded by black mist!

He could even directly see that azure Southern Celestial Star!

Gui Xu stepped into it in a single stride!

At the same time.

On the distant edge of the Celestial Fall Battlefield.

Yu Kong, relying on burning his Essence Blood Secret Technique and exhausting his last bit of Mana, had finally managed to barely catch up to the place where Gui Xu had vanished earlier.

He stared at the empty, deathly silent void before him, felt the senior’s aura that had long since scattered without a trace, and his face was filled with confusion and despair.

”S–Senior...”

In the end, he still lost him.

What might have been the greatest opportunity of his life had just slipped away right before his eyes.

”Am I, Yu Kong, destined to never glimpse that higher realm?”

Yu Kong let out a bitter laugh, his heart like dead ashes.

Yet just as he sank into utter desolation—

Hum.

An indescribably terrifying fluctuation suddenly transmitted from that infinitely distant depth of the Cosmos ahead of him!

This fluctuation was so vast! So terrifying!

Merely its aftershocks made this shattered Celestial Fall Battlefield tremble violently!

Countless colossal stellar remains, under this aftershock, were like dust, silently erased!

Even the void itself rippled with waves visible to the naked eye!

Yu Kong jerked his head up!

His eyes were filled with shock!

”Th-this is—”

He sensed that in the direction that fluctuation came from, there was an aura incomparably familiar to him!

It was the aura of Senior Gui Xu!

And it was even more terrifying than when he had been in the Sword Tomb! More pure! So much so that even the soul trembled in fear!

”What did Senior... what did he do?!”

Yu Kong’s heart thundered wildly!

He could not imagine what kind of Power could cause such a horrifying scene across such a vast distance!

Could Senior be crossing blows with some legendary taboo existence?

A surge of intense curiosity and excitement instantly scattered his previous despair!

Though he knew he still could not catch up.

But to be able to sense this earth-shaking ”trace” left by Senior... it didn’t seem too bad?

”Senior, you must win!”

Yu Kong subconsciously clenched his fists, facing the direction from which the fluctuation had come.

Muttering to himself.

He did not know that Gui Xu was not fighting anyone.

He was only going home.

In a way that shook the entire Cosmos!

Southern Celestial Star Domain.

Southern Celestial Star.

Kao Mountain Sect.

The light screen of the Mountain Protection Array was already as thin as a cicada’s wings!

Cracks crisscrossed across it!

As if in the very next moment it would shatter completely!

Before the mountain gate.

Xu Qinghan bit down hard on her lips, her face pale as paper.

But her eyes were incomparably firm!

In her hand she gripped a Spirit Sword emitting a faint glow!

That was the sword he had left behind.

”Little Senior Sister, we can’t hold on any longer—”

A young disciple behind her spoke, his voice trembling.

His face was full of fear and despair.

Not just him—on the faces of the other Kao Mountain Sect disciples and the few remaining elders, there was also the resolve to die.

The gap was too great!

These invading Outer Heaven Demons were too terrifying!

Even the Seven-Colored Immortal Palace that oversaw the Southern Celestial Star was being held in check!

How could their tiny Kao Mountain Sect possibly withstand this?

”Even if we can’t, we have to!”

Xu Qinghan snapped her head back, shouting harshly!

”Kao Mountain Sect is our home!”

”It was once his home as well!”

”Even if we die! We die at our own gate!”

The girl’s voice was not loud.

Yet it carried a kind of ironclad resolve!

Infecting everyone behind her!

”Right! Die defending the mountain gate!”

”Fight these fiendish demons to the end!”

The eyes of the remaining disciples and elders burned with bloodlust once more!

Yet at this very moment!

Crack.

A crisp sound of shattering.

Like a funeral bell being struck!

The light screen of the Mountain Protection Array finally could no longer withstand the endless impacts of those black shadows.

And completely.

Collapsed!

Whoosh—

The cold, evil black mist, brimming with destruction and devouring desire, surged forth like a breached flood!
