The ancient black gate closed behind Gu Tian with a slow, thunderous echo that seemed to swallow every remaining sound inside the Immortal Tomb, while an endless expanse of darkness unfolded before him beneath a sky where neither sun nor moon had ever existed. Countless black chaos crystals drifted silently through the void like forgotten stars, and every crystal radiated an ancient pressure that caused even the surrounding spiritual energy to move with reverent caution. The chamber resembled neither a palace nor a battlefield, for it appeared instead as a fragment of creation preserved before the birth of countless worlds, while an immense obsidian throne stood alone upon a floating platform at the center of the darkness. Endless streams of Hun Dun Ben Yuan, the purest Chaos Origin, circled the throne in slow spirals, weaving together ancient runes that no ordinary cultivator could decipher. Gu Tian steadied his breathing and allowed his Chaos Spirit Eyes to circulate quietly, tho

Black lightning crawled across the endless heavens like living serpents, each crack of thunder carrying an ancient will that seemed older than time itself, while the boundless darkness beneath Gu Tian's feet rippled like a silent sea waiting to judge every step he dared to take. The moment his right foot crossed the invisible boundary, the world behind him vanished without leaving even a trace, and the towering Gate of Chaos dissolved into countless black motes that drifted away as though they had never existed. Lin Yue instinctively reached toward him before the barrier closed, yet her fingertips met nothing except an unseen wall whose pressure made the surrounding space tremble, forcing her to withdraw with tightly clenched fists as worry settled behind her calm expression. "Gu Tian..." Her quiet voice carried more concern than fear, and although she knew he could no longer hear her, she refused to turn away from the place where he had disappeared because her heart insisted he

The thunder of countless phantom footsteps rolled across the endless battlefield like an ancient tide, and the spectral army advanced beneath torn banners whose faded emblems belonged to kingdoms long erased from history, while Gu Tian quietly tightened his grip upon the Sky Dragon Sword as the weight of command settled upon his shoulders more heavily than any Emperor's aura.The Gu Clan disciples instinctively formed defensive ranks behind him, yet many among the younger cultivators paled as the overwhelming killing intent swept across the plain, for every phantom soldier possessed flawless discipline and marched with a unity that no ordinary army could imitate.Bone Emperor Bai Gu watched silently from the heavens with folded arms, neither interfering nor offering guidance because this was not a contest of strength alone, but a judgment upon the heart of the one who sought to inherit an Emperor's legacy."The battlefield reveals every hidden truth.""It strips away pride until only

The Heart of the Immortal Tomb lay shrouded in solemn silence as a colossal black crystal floated above an ancient altar, its surface veined with streams of golden and obsidian light that pulsed like the heartbeat of creation itself, while endless currents of Chaos Qi flowed through the vast chamber and caused the surrounding space to ripple beneath an authority older than the Primordial Era.Gu Tian stood before the altar with quiet composure, his hand resting upon the newly accepted Chaos Origin Spear while the First Chaos Authority resonated within his Linghai, and although the overwhelming Dao Aura pressed against every cultivator present, neither pride nor greed disturbed his steady heart because he understood that every inheritance carried a responsibility greater than its power.Bone Emperor Bai Gu gazed upon the young successor with ancient eyes that had witnessed the rise and fall of countless immortal dynasties, and the stern dignity upon his weathered face softened into rar

The Chaos Core Chamber quaked beneath the collision of ancient powers as fractures spread across the black crystal floor, and every pulse released by the floating Chaos Origin Crystal carried an authority that seemed capable of rewriting the laws governing heaven and earth.Gu Tian planted the Chaos Origin Spear firmly before him while shielding Lin Yue and the wounded disciples behind his back, and although every meridian screamed beneath the relentless burden of battle, his unwavering gaze never left Han Mo or the crimson-robed enemies advancing through the collapsing chamber.Han Mo laughed through bloodstained lips before raising the stolen Emperor jade seal high above his head, and the ancient artifact answered his greed with unstable crimson light that spread wildly across the inheritance hall instead of submitting to his will."You fool...""If I cannot possess this inheritance, then none of you shall leave with it."Gu Tian drew a slow breath before tightening his grip upon th
