Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Of course.

These patterns are not eternally immutable.

Just as the End of Dharma can arrive early, so too can the era of great contention end prematurely.

The reason for the End of Dharma is that this Chaotic Universe cannot accommodate too many strong entities, thus it has to be suppressed by the End of Dharma to maintain cosmic order and cycle.

For cultivators, this is certainly not a good thing.

But the Heavenly Dao is impartial, everything is equal, and its order is about maintaining the universe's operation; other matters are irrelevant to the Heavenly Dao.

However.

Even so.

Gu Qingfeng believes that the next End of Dharma will not be until at least two thousand years.

Two thousand years is not a long time for other Great Emperors, but for Gu Qingfeng, two thousand years is enough to accomplish many things.

After all, he is only over a hundred years old now.

Two thousand years.

Gu Qingfeng is uncertain of how much his strength could increase.

Furthermore.

If given two thousand years, Divine Martial could also greatly enhance its power.

"For now, if we can resolve the issue with the Evil God, then there will be no internal worries in the Ancient Desolate World, leaving only the problem of the Demon Clan!"

Gu Qingfeng now understands that amidst the vast universe and billions of galaxies, the races are far from simple.

Moreover, from many forbidden zones, Gu Qingfeng has obtained much information buried in the long river of time.

However.

Though there are many cosmic races, none except the human clan of the Ancient Desolate World can match the Demon Clan.

So.

As long as the Demon Clan is dealt with.

Then Divine Martial will have no enemies.

At that point.

Divine Martial can emulate the Taiyi Divine Dynasty, reach the universe's summit, then consolidate all its strength to open the Immortal Gate and officially enter the Immortal Domain.

"Immortal Domain!"

Gu Qingfeng stands atop a forbidden zone ruin, gazing upward at the void sky, where an unseen power seems to be vast and overwhelming.

And that power.

Is where the Immortal Domain resides.

The Immortal Domain does not exist in any place within the universe; even breaking the universe's barriers would not truly reach the Immortal Domain.

Strictly speaking.

The Immortal Domain and the universe are in different dimensions.

To enter the Immortal Domain, one must either have the power to break dimensional limitations and directly find the Immortal Domain, or invoke the Immortal Gate to open and then enter the Immortal Domain through the gate.

Apart from these two methods, there is no other possibility.

Afterward.

Gu Qingfeng cast his gaze upon the Item Bar.

Within it are thirty-six Jade Bottles, all containing Heavenly Venerate Essence Blood.

Like the Fallen Immortal Ancient Land, other ancient forbidden zones also have remnants of Heavenly Venerates, whose power has severely diminished over countless ages.

Gu Qingfeng used all his means to extract only a little Essence Blood.

Of course.

Even a small amount of Essence Blood.

Is enough to have an enormous impact.

Heavenly Venerate!

A being above the Great Emperor.

From the residual Heavenly Venerate Dao Rhythm and the situation of other Evil Spirits, Gu Qingfeng is well aware that they exist on different life levels, even in different dimensions.

The blood of this level of beings, even a single strand, is a supreme treasure to cultivators below Heavenly Venerate.

Don't you see.

The entire Ancient Desolate World.

Everything was birthed by the Heavenly Venerate.

In ancient times, that old creature created the Ancient Desolate World, fought an Immortal Domain Heavenly Venerate, resulting in the world's fragmentation, and used the remnant body of the Immortal Domain Heavenly Venerate to create the current Ancient Desolate World.

This is also why.

The Ancient Desolate World's human race can become a top race in the universe.

The reason is simple.

The Ancient Desolate World's human race strictly speaking, flows with the blood of the Heavenly Venerate.

Although the Heavenly Venerate bloodline in them is extremely faint, almost negligible, the Heavenly Venerate bloodline remains, allowing the Ancient Desolate World's human race to stand above other races.

From the situation of the Ancient Desolate World, Gu Qingfeng suspects that the Demon Realm might be the same.

After all, the human race of the Ancient Desolate World has reached this point due to the Heavenly Venerate blood, then the Demon Clan also being a top race, might have Heavenly Venerate blood as well.

"Generations of Ancient Great Emperors have preferred blood sacrifices of the Ancient Desolate World's human race, seizing their Life Origin for themselves, but rarely act against other universe races.

The root cause is the uniqueness of the Ancient Desolate World's human race.

Blood sacrifices of the human race could yield Heavenly Venerate blood, which is of great nourishment to the Ancient Great Emperors!"

Gu Qingfeng even suspects that if someone could sacrifice the entire Ancient Desolate World, they might obtain a large amount of Heavenly Venerate blood, even potentially break the universe's constraints and forcibly reach the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

This possibility naturally exists.

"The Demon Realm has always wanted to suppress the Ancient Desolate World, perhaps because they know this secret and wish to swallow the entire Ancient Desolate World, the Demon Ancestor indeed has deep foresight.

However, now that I've proven the Emperor Realm, unless the Demon Ancestor is foolish, there's unlikely any further attempts on the Ancient Desolate World.

In this way, it becomes interesting—"

To Gu Qingfeng's thinking, if the Demon Ancestor's true purpose is the Heavenly Venerate blood, then in the absence of a blood sacrifice on the Ancient Desolate World, there's only one other method to obtain Heavenly Venerate blood.

That is—

Blood sacrifice of the Demon Realm!

Normally.

Blood sacrificing one's own kin is an unthinkable act for cultivators.

But the Demon Clan has always revered strength, and moreover, Gu Qingfeng perceives that the Demon Ancestor is not a hesitant character.

Of course.

These are merely Gu Qingfeng's suspicions; the specifics remain unknown to him.

Immediately.

Gu Qingfeng takes a step, and within less than a breath, he has returned from the Northern Domain to the Eastern Domain.

A step from the Northern Domain to the Eastern Domain, even a Great Emperor finds it difficult.

Since mastering the Heavenly Venerate Great Path, Gu Qingfeng's understanding of many rules has reached profound levels, and various Divine Skills are not effortlessly applied, but are not difficult either.

Methods like spatial displacement are exceedingly simple.

Upon returning to the Gu Family.

Gu Qingfeng then enters seclusion.

However.

Before retreating, he summoned Gu Yang.

"Father!"

"You've come!"

Gu Qingfeng spoke calmly, then with a movement of Divine Thought, a jade-colored long ruler suddenly appeared, with the words 'Heavenly Ruler' formed naturally on its body, exuding a heavy pressure.

Gu Yang looked at the jade-colored long ruler before him, his face somewhat shocked.

"This is the Heavenly Ruler—"

Gu Yang has heard countless times of the fame of this Supreme Treasure, of Gu Qingfeng using the Heavenly Ruler to slay many forbidden zones and ancient Great Emperors, how could he be unaware.

There are even rumors that Gu Qingfeng used this Supreme Treasure to kill an Ancient Emperor from a distance.

Thus.

Regarding the infamous reputation of the Heavenly Ruler, Gu Yang instinctively feels reverence.

Especially now, having reached the Great Saint Realm, his perspective is much broader, making him increasingly aware of this Supreme Treasure's unfathomable nature.

Gu Qingfeng said, "Indeed, this is the Heavenly Ruler, which already surpasses Imperial Weapons, worthy of being called a Creation Spiritual Treasure.

Evil Spirits cannot be killed, but Creation Spiritual Treasures can eradicate them.

I shall enter seclusion for some time, leaving this treasure temporarily in your care; it bears one of my Divine Thoughts, empowering you to wield the Heavenly Ruler.

With the power of this Supreme Treasure, apart from exterminating Evil Spirits, even ordinary Great Emperors can be slain."

"Creation Spiritual Treasure!"

Gu Yang took a deep breath, his gaze on the Heavenly Ruler burning with enthusiasm.

Faced with such Supreme Treasure, claiming not to be moved at all would naturally be false.

Of course.

Gu Yang understands.

This sort of Supreme Treasure is beyond his reach.

But even so, being able to temporarily use such a Supreme Treasure for some time is indeed remarkable.

Afterward.

After respectfully storing the Heavenly Ruler, Gu Yang spoke, "When father was flattening forbidden zones, an Ancient Great Emperor came to offer tribute; I've temporarily arranged him in the Tribute Institute, wondering what father's thoughts are?"
