The old man had followed the Southern Heaven Hierarch for countless years. He had already been by the Southern Heaven Hierarch's side since the ancient times. In other words, although the Southern Heaven Hierarch and the old man were master and servant, they were still family.
Compared to the ten disciples of the Southern Heaven Hierarch, the one he trusted the most was the old man. Even his direct disciples were not as trustworthy as the old man.
"I'll know everything after I take you down."
Although the old man seemed to be old, once he decided to go all out, it was earth-shattering. A powerful aura of the Sacred Path burst out from his body, causing the world to tremble.
"Sacred Path, it seems like …"
Gu Fei's eyes flickered. The old man's cultivation was indeed powerful, but in the Human World, even a Sacred Ruler would not dare to remove the seal on his body.
The old man's cultivation was between a Sacred Ruler and a Sacred Ruler. Gu Fei never thought that he would meet such a person in the Clear Moon Continent.
"If that's the case, I should be the one saying that."
Gu Fei looked at the old man and said calmly. This was the strongest expert he had ever met since he came to the Clear Moon Continent. It was time for him to have some fun.
"Arrogant."
The old man's expression was stern. He was disdainful of Gu Fei's words. Although this young man was also a Sacred Ruler, how could he be compared to the Southern Heaven Hierarch who had already achieved the Dao in the ancient times?
"You'll know soon enough whether I'm arrogant or not."
Gu Fei said. His aura did not change at all. There was no powerful aura being emitted, nor was there any shocking energy ripples.
He just stood in the air, letting the night breeze blow at him and his hair fluttered in the wind.
"Returning to the natural state, how is this possible …"
Seeing that Gu Fei was going to fight him in such a state, the old man could not help but be shocked. Is this kid really a Sacred Ruler?
Above the Sacred Rulers were the Sacred Rulers. The Sacred Rulers always showed off their abilities. When they fought against others, every single move they made would contain tremendous power. However, at the Sacred Ruler Realm, the edges of the Sacred Rulers would be worn down. They would no longer show off their abilities, and their sacred aura would be withdrawn.
This was what the old man meant by returning to the natural state, just like an ordinary person.
"Kill."
Although the old man was shocked, he did not hesitate and attacked.
"Bang."
The old man extended a hand, and a huge golden hand immediately rushed out from his hand, slapping toward Gu Fei. There were patterns of the Dao revolving around the golden hand, and it was drawing upon the power of the divine dao.
"Boom!"
Gu Fei directly punched out and smashed the huge golden hand. An earth-shattering sound was heard as the huge golden hand was smashed into pieces by his fist.
"What …"
The old man was shocked. He never thought that his opponent would be so powerful. Furthermore, the power of his opponent's punch was so great that it made his heart palpitate.
"Shua."
The old man's figure blurred, leaving behind an afterimage where he stood. His real body had already retreated tens of miles away.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate. Have a taste of my palm."
Gu Fei was like a shadow. He strode through the air and chased after the old man at the speed of eight steps. Then, he slammed his palm towards the old man who was retreating.
"Rumble …"
As Gu Fei's palm pushed forward, the entire space before his palm began to tremble. Pitch-black cracks appeared in the space, as if it would collapse and be destroyed at any time.
"This is …"
The palm had sealed off the surroundings, making the old man unable to dodge it. He had no choice but to face it head-on, which shocked him once again. His opponent's battle skill was indeed terrifying.
A simple and straightforward battle skill had displayed great power. At that moment, the old man no longer doubted that the young man was really a Sacred Ruler.
Since when did such an expert appear in the ocean?
The old man's heart shuddered. He had been following the Divine South-Heaven for a long time, and had seen the Divine South-Heaven fight against all kinds of experts. He had seen all kinds of experts.
But now, the young Sacred Ruler was giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Let's do it."
The old man clenched his teeth and spat out a golden cauldron, which collided with Gu Fei's palm. There were nine golden divine runes vaguely visible on the cauldron, emitting a powerful aura of the Sacred Path.
Gu Fei's huge hand directly slapped the golden cauldron that was charging towards him. The powerful force sent the cauldron flying back, leaving a handprint on it.
"How is this possible? His physical strength has actually reached such a level?"
The old man's expression changed. He knew very well how powerful his sacred weapon was. It was a cauldron refined from the Metal Will of the Five Elements. Although the Metal Will of the Metal Will was not an immortal material, it was still a rare material in the world.
Most importantly, the cauldron was refined with the help of the Divine South-Heaven. It could be said that although the cauldron was a sacred weapon, it was different from ordinary sacred weapons.
It was half an Ultimate God's Honorable Weapon.
"It's able to withstand my palm and not break. Strange."
At that moment, Gu Fei was even more surprised. One should know that he was a Sacred Ruler, a Sacred Ruler of Martial Arts. The power of his palm was so strong that it could even shatter a sacred weapon.
"Come."
At that moment, the old man performed a great divinity. He held the cauldron in his hand and pointed the mouth of the cauldron at Gu Fei. A heaven-devouring force immediately surged from the cauldron and sucked Gu Fei into the cauldron.
"So what if you're a Sacred Ruler? You're still going to die."
The old man was overjoyed. He never thought he would be able to suck the young man into the cauldron so easily.
"Bang."
Just as the old man was overjoyed, the cauldron in his hand suddenly shook violently and almost flew out of his hand. On the cauldron's wall, there was a bulge in the shape of a palm.
"Nice one."
The old man was surprised. He immediately sat in the air and activated the divine power in his body. He performed a great divinity in an attempt to refine Gu Fei inside the cauldron.
Hum.
The cauldron shook. Nine golden divine glyphs intertwined on the body of the cauldron. The power of metal was vast. Within the cauldron, there seemed to be a god awakening from a deep slumber. A destructive presence was emitted from the cauldron.
"This saint weapon is not bad. It was actually refined from metal. No wonder I couldn't break it with a single strike."
Gu Fei's voice sounded from within the cauldron.
"This …"
The old man's shock was no small matter. This opponent was much more powerful and terrifying than he had imagined.
"I don't believe I can't refine you to death."
The old man was furious. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood at the cauldron. The blood turned into a bloody mist and entered the cauldron.
Hum.
After the cauldron absorbed the old man's blood, it immediately began to shake violently. The power within the cauldron was completely activated. The nine glyphs shone with dazzling light.
A golden swirl appeared inside the cauldron. A destructive presence surged from the swirl, wanting to devour Gu Fei and obliterate him completely.
"How is this possible …"
Very soon, the old man realized that something was wrong. Inside the cauldron, Ye Futian's presence did not weaken, nor was he devoured by the golden swirl.
Ye Futian sat cross-legged inside the cauldron. No matter how the golden swirl tried to devour him, Ye Futian remained unmoving.
"Yes, I want this saint weapon."
Inside the cauldron, Gu Fei felt the waves of power from the cauldron. He was very satisfied with this saint weapon. His disciple, Gu Zhong, lacked a metal saint weapon. This saint weapon was very suitable for him.
When Gu Fei thought of this, he activated a great technique. A wave spread from his body. Nine chaotic dao glyphs emerged from his body and rushed out, imprinting themselves on the cauldron.
"You …"
The old man sensed the change inside the cauldron. He was instantly shocked.
The chaotic dao glyphs that rushed out from Ye Futian actually imprinted themselves on the cauldron. They wanted to erase the imprint that he had left in the cauldron.
This abominable fellow wanted to snatch away the Sacred artefact that he had spent his entire life refining.
How could the old man allow Gu Fei to take away his saint weapon?
He attacked with all his might. The power of the metal element was vast. His body shone with dazzling golden light, illuminating the night sky. It was as if a golden sun had appeared in the sky.
"Rumble …"
The sound of wind and thunder came from the cauldron. Two forces were fighting for control of the cauldron. The power of the metal element and the power of chaos were constantly colliding.
Nine golden dao glyphs and nine chaotic dao glyphs were entangled. They both wanted to destroy each other and take the cauldron.
"Spirit Sword of the Way."
Gu Fei said in a low voice. Then, a purple vertical mark appeared between his eyebrows.
Swoosh.
A divine eye seemed to suddenly open on Gu Fei's brow. A beam of purple divine light rushed out and turned into a divine sword of the great path. Then, it pierced through the void and directly passed through the divine tripod, slashing towards the old man.
They were so close. Gu Fei suddenly attacked, and the old man was using all his powers to fight Gu Fei for the cauldron. By the time the sword of the way broke through the void and pierced through, it was already too late for him to dodge.
Swoosh.
The sword of the great path pierced through the old man's body and then rushed out. It broke through the void and flew into the cauldron, sinking into the center of Gu Fei's eyebrows.
The light in the old man's eyes suddenly disappeared. His eyes became empty. The golden light on his body also dissipated. Then, his head drooped down, and he fell from the sky.
A cultivator who was close to the level of a Saint and a Saint King had died just like that.
There was no way that he could survive being cut by the sword of the way. The old man's primordial spirit was destroyed by the sword of the great path, leaving behind a soulless shell.
"Oh no."
Just as Gu Fei used his primordial spirit Dao Sword to kill the old man, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have killed this fella directly.
Gu Fei wanted to subdue the old man and read the memories of his soul. That way, he would know the truth of the Nantian Divine Palace.
