Chapter 347: Chapter 185: Annihilating the Celestial Bull, Meeting Senior Brother

High in the sky, a vast and colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon shattered the void and sundered the heavens. It surged toward the Celestial Bull with overwhelming power, intent on delivering the final blow.

“Th-this…” As the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, imbued with supreme might and shattering the very sky, descended upon it with vast Divine Power, the Celestial Bull’s bell-like pupils contracted violently, a look of utter terror in its eyes.

‘This… How is this possible!’

‘I… I’m actually afraid!’

Before the Celestial Bull could finish its thought, the colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon seemed to warp through space and time, appearing instantly before it.

Reflected in the Celestial Bull’s bell-like pupils, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon swelled to an immense size, becoming like an entire world bearing down on it with the supreme Power of Destruction!!

BANG!!

The next instant, the colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon pierced straight through the Celestial Bull’s body. It continued onward, tearing a rift in space that stretched for thousands of miles. In its wake, space crumbled and shattered, exposing a pitch-black, abyssal void. Destructive gales of energy surged out like a tidal wave, exuding terrifying power!

“N-no… Impossible!” The Celestial Bull’s face was a mask of terror and disbelief. Its body trembled violently, looking as if it might shatter and be utterly annihilated from existence at any second.

‘To be defeated by a mere Human Race Cultivator in the Tongxuan Realm Early Stage… What a disgrace!’

“You were born a Demon Fiend and have slain countless members of the Human Race. To fall by my hand today is a fitting end,” Gu Yun said, his gaze cold and detached.

He then took a single, soft step forward, sending ripples through the void. His figure flickered and, as if teleporting, he instantly appeared before the Celestial Bull.

Gazing at the Celestial Bull’s trembling, terrified face, Gu Yun’s expression remained icy. He raised a hand that pulsed with formidable Magical Power and a faint, eerie glow, then thrust it toward the creature’s head.

“Soul-Devouring and Essence-Swallowing Technique!”

The potent Netherworld Soul-devouring Power surged toward the Celestial Bull’s sea of consciousness, seeking its memories.

The Technique Gu Yun was currently using was the Soul-Devouring and Essence-Swallowing Technique, a highly practical, albeit unorthodox, art he had acquired after slaying a True Disciple from the Red Moon Divine Palace.

Its Netherworld soul-devouring ability could consume memories to nourish his own soul and strengthen his Divine Sense!

At that moment,

Gu Yun closed his eyes, his Divine Sense pouring into the depths of the Celestial Bull’s intricate mind.

Just as his Divine Sense approached a restricted zone within its memories, he seemed to trigger some kind of seal.

‘This is bad!’

An unsurpassable power suddenly began to erase the Celestial Bull’s mind, intending to annihilate Gu Yun, the intruder, along with it. In that split second,

Gu Yun’s Great Dream Star Soul Refining Technique activated on its own. Drawing on celestial Star Power, his Divine Sense suddenly magnified, allowing him to instantly withdraw from the Celestial Bull’s mind.

“Phew!”

“That was close!” High in the void, Gu Yun snapped his eyes open, a horrified look within them.

‘I was too reckless.’

‘All I wanted was to probe the memories of this Celestial Bull, but I never expected to trigger a hidden seal in its mind. That seal tried to obliterate me right along with the Demon Fiend’s memories. If my Great Dream Star Soul Refining Technique hadn’t activated on its own and massively boosted my Divine Sense, my own sea of consciousness would have been severely damaged.’

‘If I’d known this could happen, I never would have so casually probed a Demon Fiend’s sea of consciousness.’

‘But who the hell knew some mighty expert would plant a seal in a Demon Fiend’s mind!’

‘Phew… I can’t let my guard down like that ever again.’ A flicker of fear went through Gu Yun’s heart.

‘What was that power? It was so immense, on such a high level… it felt like it could annihilate anything.’

…

「At this very moment.」

In the Cangwu Immortal Continent, far beyond the Celestial Essence Realm, amidst an endless and vast starry expanse,

Countless massive worlds, each one comparable to or even greater than the Celestial Essence Realm, drifted through the boundless cosmos.

Floating outside one of these massive, dark worlds was a continuous chain of majestic palaces. They stood tall amidst the stars, exuding an ancient, timeless aura.

Within one of the ancient, majestic, deep-purple Divine Halls, sat an imposing man in black robes. A hazy dark light swirled around him, and he radiated a terrifying Demonic Qi powerful enough to make worlds tremble. He slowly opened his grim, Netherworld-like eyes, and a piercing dark light flashed within them.

‘Oh? Someone actually triggered the memory seal I left on my Demon Fiends.’

That alone, of course, wouldn’t have been enough to faze him. What truly surprised him was that the person who triggered the seal had managed to escape, completely unharmed, from the energy he had left in his minions’ minds.

‘Could it have been one of the Venerables from the Cangwu Immortal Continent?’

The thought flashed through the imposing, black-robed man’s mind, but he quickly shook his head. ‘If it were a Venerable…’

‘…the little trick I left behind would have been useless against them.’

‘Hmm?’

After a moment of careful perception, he realized that the few pawns he had left in the Celestial Essence Realm were all dead. ‘Xue Ying, Nether Tiger, Celestial Bull… they’ve all perished!’

A cold glint flashed through the imposing, black-robed man’s deep-set eyes. A wisp of his aura leaked out, exuding a terrifying pressure capable of shaking entire worlds!

‘What is going on?’

‘How did those fools handle things?’

‘They didn’t even have to do anything yet, and they couldn’t even manage to stay hidden. Useless trash!’

The imposing man’s gaze turned grim as he looked out from the Divine Hall. His sight pierced through layer upon layer of space, across hundreds of millions of miles of the vast cosmos, as if he could see each and every revolving world.

‘The Celestial Essence Realm is a world I stumbled upon by chance. It has no Tribulation Cosmos Realm Venerables, and its strongest experts have only reached the Harmonization Peak. It’s perfectly ripe for devouring.’

‘However, the realm’s Celestial Dao prevents me from invading directly. If I were to force my way in, my power would be drastically weakened.’
