Chapter 1766: The Ruins of Myriad Paths
mon Slayer's voice continued, "Gu Bulao, I'm very curious. You, me, and the Dao Lord had already reached a consensus, but why did you suddenly change your mind at the time of this great war""Could it...The sound that suddenly rang out was extremely odd. It sounded like a child's voice, yet also like a young person's, but with an undercurrent of an elderly voice mixed in.
It sounds like all the voices of a person at every different age mixed together, which is extremely unpleasant to hear.
This sound, naturally, comes from Gu Bulao!
And as the sound rang out, the expressions of all five venerables changed visibly.
Especially that tall elder known as the White Venerable, who suddenly retracted his raised feet and turned around directly. Two icy lights shot out from his eyes, fixed on Dao Xu.
The Dao Ruins, are not a world. To be precise, it is a cemetery existing within the space between worlds, with an immense size that stretches beyond sight.
And yet, although the sound did indeed originate from Dao Ruins, the five venerables situated in five different directions were unable to discern which area it came from.
In the ruins, there wasn't even a single figure to be seen. It was unknown where Gu Bulao had gone.
A glint flashed in the eyes of White Venerable, his face turned cold, and suddenly he took a step forward. His entire person directly sat cross-legged atop the peak of the skeletal mountain he had placed down.
His sitting down caused the entire Bone Mountain to sink downwards slightly once more.
"After doing all this, Bai Zun finally spoke, "Gu Bulao, there is no enmity between you and me. This time, the Daozun asked us five to take action, and it's only temporary to seal you for a period of time!"
"Rest assured, the five of us have no ill intentions. Once the time comes, we will not only break our individual seals but will also definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
As the Venerable Bai's words fell, Gu Bulao's voice echoed once more after a moment of silence.
However, he was no longer speaking to Venerable Bai, but to the other four, "Venerable Jiuxiao, Venerable Wanhua, you four, aren't you also harboring the same thoughts"
After glancing at each other once more, the four of them, as if they had reached a silent agreement, all suddenly took a step forward. Just like Bai Zun, in an instant, they found themselves standing on their own seals.
Evidently, for Gu Bulao's sudden utterance, coupled with the premonition of unease they already had in their hearts, forced them to strengthen the seals around themselves.
Although they were unclear about Gu Bulao's strength, they all had some understanding of his temper.
Today, our team of five has made a move that has attracted the attention of Gu Bulao.
If he were truly allowed to break free from his seal, then there would be no choice but to fight him.
Even with five people's combined strength, they couldn't hold him back. Therefore, the outcome of fighting him would naturally be no different.
Therefore, no matter what, they must prevent Gu Bulao from appearing!
The hunched old man, who was also known as the Venerable Jiuxiao, took a deep breath and said: "That's right, Ancient Friend. We agree with Venerable Bai's idea."
"We don't care what grievances you have with the Dao Sovereign, nor do we want to intervene. We are simply doing what we were asked, loyal to our commission!"
"Today's events were indeed our fault. When the seal is lifted, we will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"Haha!"
Suddenly, Gu Bulao's booming laughter echoed from the Dao Ruins, reverberating in the ears of the five people like thunder, shaking their very souls.
At this moment, the faces of the five people changed drastically. All five of them were genuine practitioners of the Dao of Human and Simulated Forms, and even the revered one from Jiuxiao had reached the peak of this realm.
However, now, Gu Bulao hasn't even revealed his physical form, and he can only shake the hearts and minds of people like them just by his laughter. It goes without saying how powerful Gu Bulao is.
After laughing, Gu Bulao's voice sounded again: "What a loyal act!"
"Joe, you are suffering, but your actions show a lack of loyalty!"
"Boom!"
In the earth-shattering sound of Gu Bulao, the entire Dao Xu trembled wildly.
And this tremor originated from those crumbling tombs. In the midst of this violent trembling, it seemed as if powerful figures were attempting to climb out of them.
The massive white skull, which had almost entirely engulfed the western region of Dao Xu, suddenly let out a sharp crack as Dao Xu trembled. A huge fissure instantly appeared on its surface.
The Venerable One Thousand Flowers, sitting atop the skull, suddenly flushed a faint crimson on his jade-like face, letting out a "glug" sound and forcing down the mouthful of blood he was about to spit.
Master Bai, along with the mountain of bones beneath him, trembled violently. Countless white bones cascaded from the mountain and fell into the ruins, as if they had encountered fire, instantly turning to dust.
Although the other three venerables' situations were slightly better than theirs, their faces had all turned ashen.
At this time, they couldn't possibly imagine how much stronger this ancient and enduring power was compared to them.
The ancient voice boomed once more: "Venerable Dao, he controls all paths and is the ruler of this domain. Therefore, you should accept his entrustment. Do you know why this place is called the Ruins of Dao"
Five people remained silent in response to the question posed by Gu Bulao.
Because this was a question that had been in their minds ever since they first heard the name Dao Xu.
Today, I will tell you the complete name of this Ruin, it is called the Ten Thousand Paths Ruin!
"Heaven and earth, all things, have a day of return to oblivion, death. Even the Dao is no exception!"
"Every grave here buries a way!"
Gu Bulao's words left the five of them stunned, their minds echoing with only this phrase!
Although they were all powerful figures in the realm of humanitarianism, they had never considered that even the great principles of this world would one day face destruction and oblivion.
The ancient voice continued, "These Dao, although they return to the void, they do not enter the cycle of reincarnation. They cannot dissipate in a short time. And once they are allowed to scatter within this realm of Dao, they will affect the Heavenly Dao, the Dao domain, and countless living beings!"
Therefore, I shall always remain here, guarding these ruins.
Gradually, from the countless tombs that trembled crazily in the ruins of the Dao, a gaseous form flew out from each one, condensing into the shape of a child in mid-air!
And the boy was also growing at a visible rate.
In a short span of time, he transformed from a child into a youth, then from a youth into middle age, and finally into old age!
The ancient one, finally makes an appearance!
The aged ancient, emanating boundless killing intent, stood in the air above Dao Ruins. Raising his head, a hint of mockery appeared on his face as he gazed coldly at the five stunned venerables.
"If you were elsewhere, perhaps you could have truly sealed me away. But here in the Dao Ruins, you dare to even dream of containing me"
As soon as his words fell, Gu Bulao suddenly pointed a finger at the mountain of skeletons, uttering two words in a low voice: "Gui Xu!"
"Wow!"
With the utterance of these two words, this mountain of gigantic bones, a million zhang in size, collapsed instantly.
Truly, it melted away like wax, along with the white venerable one atop it. They both plunged into the Dao Ruins together, instantly transforming into countless specks of dust, merging into that boundless tomb.
This scene caused the bodies of the other four venerables to tremble uncontrollably.
The venerable Bai Zun, who embodies the realm of human compassion and empathy, was actually unable to withstand a single strike from Gu Bulao. How could they possibly believe this
Even if they were slightly stronger than the White Venerable, it was still a limited strength and they couldn't possibly be a match for Gu Bulao.
Having solved Bai Zun's ancient curse, he slowly turned his gaze to the four of them, and grinned: "Since you all came together, now you all leave together!"
