Chapter 1122 Severing the Dream of Immortality
His soul and body were severed together!
This means that his immortal puppet power has been broken and he can no longer heal himself!
This was a terrible result. Not to mention the Supreme Immortal Puppet, even the other Immortal Puppets behind it looked over in surprise and doubt. They had paid a huge price to gain near-immortality.
If one could truly be immortal and indestructible, unafraid of any injuries, and only suffer the pain of the soul, most people would be willing to accept it, at least for now.
Can……
If this immortal being were to encounter its nemesis, then the sky would truly fall!
"Your physical body and soul are in a symbiotic and mutually complementary state. Damage to either one will be quickly restored due to the existence of the other. But if both are severed at the same time, this problem will naturally not exist," Gu Xiu replied coldly.
"This is impossible!" The other party was still incredulous: "Do you think no one has tried it? It's almost impossible for the physical body to be severed and the soul to be injured at the same time. As long as there is even a moment of asynchrony, it's impossible for it to truly harm me!"
This time, Gu Xiu did not answer.
The other party's guess was true. To kill the soul and the physical body simultaneously requires the assistance and cooperation of many people. It is impossible for a single person to complete it. Even if both can be injured at the same time, as long as there is a slight difference, it is impossible to cause harm to the other party.
but……
Gu Xiu is different.
The existence of the Sighing Sword allows him to almost touch time. Although it is difficult to truly freeze time, it can compress the time difference between the two to the extreme.
However, Gu Xiu was naturally not foolish enough to reveal such a method. Seeing that the other party still looked incredulous, he made no attempt to explain, simply continuing to hold the Immortal Crossing Sword.
"I have demonstrated my abilities. Now, are you willing to step down?"
"Refund? You want me to refund?"
"Naturally, you are all giants who suppressed a region in the previous era or even the era before that. You paid the price for immortality and have fallen to your current state. Although this is the result of your own choice, I, Gu, do not wish to cut off all your life force unless necessary."
Speaking of it.
Gu Xiu's gaze swept over all the Supreme Immortal Puppets in the narrow passage behind him: "Therefore, I, Gu, will give you seniors a chance. If you are willing to leave now and swear not to seek revenge for what happened today, I will give you a chance to leave and will not make a move."
As soon as these words were spoken, a violent thunderous roar resounded once again. Everyone turned their heads and saw that the tribulations of Lü Dongshan and Ye Wentian were nearing their end. They were struggling to withstand the last tribulation, and the narrow passage in the chessboard would disappear from then on.
Along with them disappeared their fear and concerns.
"What a joke! You know we were once the strongest people in this world. If you know that, you should understand that we will never be threatened by anyone!" said the Supreme Immortal Puppet whose arm had been cut off by Gu Xiu.
But at that moment, Jian Wu's timid voice came: "But aren't you still threatened by the Three Immortal Islands?"
These words were somewhat inappropriate, causing even the Supreme Immortal Puppet to freeze in surprise.
He then became enraged.
"Compared to you, the Three Immortal Islands are like celestial palaces in the heavens. How could you mortals compare to them?"
"Gentlemen, do not hesitate any longer."
"We have worked so hard to finally obtain this almost immortal ability, but now such a threat has appeared on the road to immortality. Putting aside the fact that we need to complete the mission of the Three Immortal Islands, the danger that this person poses to us makes it clear that this person must not be allowed to live!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions and looked up to see that the other Supreme Immortal Puppets, who had not originally intended to interfere in the battle, were now also looking up at Gu Xiu.
There was murderous intent in their eyes.
Clearly, what this supreme being said was true; Gu Xiu could genuinely harm them, and such a threat was like a thorn in their side.
At least.
The supreme immortal puppets who seek immortality.
Such a scourge must absolutely not be allowed to exist!
"It seems you have all made your decisions." Gu Xiu remained calm throughout, glancing at the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets in the narrow passage behind him. Apart from a few who showed hesitation, most were filled with murderous intent. He then gripped his Immortal Ascension Sword:
"That's it."
"Then today, this junior will act as the villain and sever the bonds between you seniors..."
"The dream of immortality."
The moment the word "dream" left his mouth, Gu Xiu vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the Supreme Immortal Puppet whose arm had been severed.
"Your speed..."
"what!"
Before the other party could recover from Gu Xiu's incredibly fast speed, a sharp pain suddenly came. He turned around in horror and found that his other arm had also been severed on the spot, just like before.
And just like before.
This time, the severed arm not only could not return to his body to recover, but even his soul was severely damaged and fell away along with the severed arm!
"What are you all standing there for? Come and help!"
Such terrible injuries even startled this ancient senior who had become a supreme being countless ages ago. He hurriedly took a step, quickly creating distance between himself and Gu Xiu, while shouting back at the supreme immortal puppets in the narrow passage:
"This kid is strange; he can't be treated as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. If you don't make a move soon, he'll defeat us one by one!"
"At that time, immortality will truly be just a dream!"
Swish!
These words seemed to ignite the flame of reason in the hearts of these Supreme Immortal Puppets, finally making them put aside their hesitation and their firm belief in not attacking the weak. They moved swiftly through the narrow passage like sharp arrows.
They went straight for Gu Xiu!
Seeing their choices, Gu Xiu didn't waste any words. Holding the Immortal Crossing Sword, he immediately took action, his cultivation surging wildly as he blocked the narrow passage and launched a killing spree.
Tan Qian unleashed his sword continuously, combining it with the Jinghong and Youlong sword techniques, along with Gu Xiu's constantly circulating spiritual attack methods. In this narrow passage, he actually possessed a formidable presence, like a one-man army holding off ten thousand.
He was like the nemesis of these supreme immortal puppets.
Others could not truly harm these Supreme Immortal Puppets even with their full strength, but Gu Xiu could always sever the parts of these Supreme Immortal Puppets one by one with his sword and blade. For a time, he killed so many that no one could take even half a step.
"This... what kind of method is this?"
"Why is he so fast? No, it's like the speed of those Supreme Immortal Puppets has suddenly slowed down. What's going on?"
"Is it really possible to inflict double damage on the body and soul of the Supreme Immortal Puppet in such a short time? Is this the genius from five hundred years ago? Even though five hundred years have passed, he still makes my scalp tingle."
"His swordsmanship level has probably already surpassed that of all of us present."
"..."
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the mouths of those prodigies.
They were called prodigies, and many of them were even famous on the Heavenly Ranking. Although they had all heard of Gu Xiu's name to some extent, and several of them had even been in contact with Gu Xiu five hundred years ago, no matter how famous they had been.
But now, five hundred years later, most people still hold Gu Xiu in some contempt.
after all.
The past glory is just that—the past. They are all on the list, ranked ahead of Gu Xiu. Strictly speaking, Gu Xiu is just a latecomer who wasted five hundred years of his life. No one really thinks he's that great now.
But now, seeing the figure blocking their way, they finally understood.
"As expected, this guy..."
"Even if five hundred years have passed, that's enough to suppress an entire era..."
Lu Dongshan's voice suddenly came, and everyone turned their heads to look. They saw that his tribulation had been completed and the lightning was dissipating. This meant that the narrow path that was originally formed by the two tribulations was now beginning to widen.
really.
Almost the instant the lightning tribulation disappeared on his side, the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets, who had been fighting alone, began to reveal their ferocious eyes and surrounded him through the gap on that side.
"This guy's tribulation isn't over yet. Luckily, I'm smart enough not to compete with these freaks, or I would have already committed suicide out of shame." Lu Dongshan glanced at Ye Wentian's location and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the other's tribulation was still ongoing. Then, he walked unhurriedly towards Gu Xiu.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys used to be among the strongest in the world. Aren't you ashamed to gang up on a junior like this?"
These words caused all the Supreme Immortal Puppets to look over with murderous intent.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Lu Dongshan wasn't afraid. While rubbing his injuries, which hadn't fully recovered from the lightning tribulation attack, he clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles. "I have no problem with you outnumbering me, but you have to be careful not to count me in too. Otherwise, it's disrespectful of you."
"You want to die too?" a Supreme Immortal Puppet asked coldly.
"So what if you're looking for death? Do you think everyone is like you, getting more and more afraid of death and more and more cowardly as they get older?" Lu Dongshan delivered a solid performance, calming down the murderous intent that had been directed at Gu Xiu with just a few words.
Most of it was transferred to oneself.
Lu Dongshan wasn't afraid, at least his expression didn't show any fear. But only Lu Dongshan himself knew that he was actually very flustered. However, seeing that he had attracted a lot of attention for Gu Xiu, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he was still secretly looking for a way out while racking his brains to think of how to stall for time.
As for a real head-on confrontation?
What a joke! I'm not a monster like Gu Xiu or Ye Wentian. I can't fight these monsters who were once supreme beings when I just advanced to the Void Refinement stage.
However, just when he thought the group of Supreme Immortal Puppets was about to make a move, one of the Supreme Immortal Puppets suddenly spoke:
"No one in this world is not afraid of death. Those who say they don't want to die are just not at that point yet."
"Perhaps you have the courage to die for righteousness because you are young, but you don't have so many concerns. We didn't lack such courage when we were young. It's just that after a long time, our former strength began to weaken, our former power disappeared, and even the path we always believed in could no longer be seen with any hope."
"Fear then becomes a natural consequence."
"Young man, if you haven't experienced the suffering of others, don't advise them to be kind. This matter has nothing to do with you, you can leave, no one will bother you."
