"Gu Tianxing, what exactly are you trying to do?" Xiao Han's face was extremely grim, sensing that this time he might truly vanish from the world forever.

"A dead man doesn't need to know so much," Gu Tianxing pressed his hands down, and the Primordial Divine Map descended with a roar.

However, a shadow of the Hongmeng Ruler appeared, shattering the divine map, as the Hongmeng Ruler's own consciousness activated itself.

Once the Hongmeng Ruler autonomously activated, even Gu Tianxing's divine map was no match.

After all, this was the Land of Slumber. When the Hongmeng Ruler was outside, it already made many old ancestors feel its presence. Upon entering, these old ancestors understood Gu Tianxing's intentions.

"A Dao Artifact? The youngster brought a Dao Artifact in?"

"So young, yet so prudent in his actions. Not bad, not bad."

"The aura of a Dao Artifact, so lively. This is an Innate Dao Artifact."

A gigantic, ancient face appeared in the sky, its hollow eyes shooting out a brilliant beam of light, as if the Hongmeng Ruler grew stronger when faced with a formidable opponent.

It began to evolve the beginning of heaven and earth, the origin of all things.

The old ancestor who made a move was actually blocked.

"This is no ordinary Innate Dao Artifact; it seems to have been born with a world."

"This is a good thing. I've been asleep for so long, and now treasures have ventured into the Gu Family's ancestral land."

The last voice came from the depths, where the tombs stood as tall as the heavens.

The Hongmeng Ruler was now almost unleashing its full power, trying to break out from here, but this was the Gu Family's ancestral land, where the number of ancient monsters was already high. Each one stepping out could destroy a world.

In Xiao Han's world, most here could single-handedly destroy Xiao Han's world.

The Hongmeng Ruler was blocked, and Xiao Han, wrapped inside it, felt despair upon witnessing this scene. He understood that even if he returned to his former peak and cooperated with the Hongmeng Ruler, it would be difficult to escape from here.

His eyes were fixed on Gu Tianxing, unable to comprehend why this person, not even twenty years old, was so cautious, leaving no opportunity to exploit.

"Gu Tianxing, I was reborn here with a Heaven and Earth Treasure. I must be the child of destiny. You are defying the heavens, acting against the natural order. This is against the heavens, and one day, you will face divine retribution," Xiao Han shouted, hoping the heavens would hear his lament.

It seemed that the Heavenly Dao sensed it, unwilling to let its chosen one perish.

Above the Gu Family, a thick layer of tribulation clouds appeared, with a terrifying black vortex stretching for miles, black and red lightning currents flashing within.

At the center was a red eye, devoid of emotion, embodying the heavens' indifference to all things.

This eye's gaze locked onto that pocket world within the Gu Family's ancestral land.

This change left the Gu Family members astonished and horrified.

Other forces also sensed the situation at the Gu Family.

The scope of the heavenly tribulation was vast, and its might was astounding, even other Dao Prefectures felt the wrath of the Xuancheng Dao Prefecture's Heavenly Dao.

"The Heavenly Dao is angry, at the Gu Family. It must be that Gu Tianxing's wicked deeds have gone too far, even the heavens can't stand it."

"Haha, it would be best if it struck down the Gu Family, avenging my sister."

Some ancient fossils and living relics also awakened, wanting to investigate the Gu Family.

But as soon as their thoughts reached the Gu Family, they were abruptly repelled by a domineering divine sense.

"Consider this a warning. If you dare to spy on my Gu Family again, don't blame me for visiting your residence afterward," came the voice of an old ancestor from the depths of the Gu Family.

Hearing this voice, those familiar with it immediately backed down, not daring to probe further, only watching the situation from afar.

"This freak has awakened too? It's been five hundred thousand years, and he's still alive."

"What on earth is happening in the Gu Family? I have a bad feeling."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

In the Gu Family.

Gu Changge, the family head, along with a group of elders, stood solemnly in the sky, the entire Gu Family's grand formation already activated.

"Family head, what on earth is happening? The tribulation clouds in the sky are terrifying," an elder asked, his legs trembling slightly.

"This is a matter for the old ancestors. Just watch over the formation. I don't know the rest either," Gu Changge thought to himself, Tianxing, what exactly did you stir up to alarm even the heavens?

The heavenly tribulation hadn't descended, seemingly as a warning.

The old ancestors in the Land of Slumber naturally sensed the Heavenly Dao's intent.

However, a deep voice transmitted, "This is no ordinary Innate Dao Artifact. It is inextricably linked to this person. I will handle the Heavenly Dao's warning with the others."

After speaking, several towering tombstones in the depths began to tremble, and even more terrifying ancient consciousnesses surged out. With these awakenings, the entire Xuancheng Dao Prefecture's top-tier forces were alerted.

The ancient beings of the Gu Family collectively shielded all information about the Gu Family. The Eye of Heaven in the sky, seeing this, its red gaze subtly turned black, and a massive black lightning bolt in the form of a tornado struck down from the sky, its diameter spanning a hundred miles.

"Such power, even a Supreme would be obliterated," Gu Changge judged, while others felt the terror of the heavens, doubting the Gu Family's grand formation.

However.

From the depths, several ancient auras rose, carrying desolate and ancient divine light, soaring into the sky. There were no dragons or phoenixes, no divine beast phantoms, only the most primitive form.

A layer of yellow earth, spanning miles, shielded the Gu Family from above, heavy and vast.

The heavenly tribulation fell, all its power absorbed by the yellow earth, not a single ripple reaching the Gu Family.

"The old ancestors have intervened."

"So powerful, I was scared to death just now."

"Which old ancestor made a move? Even this heavenly tribulation can be blocked. I heard the family head say a Supreme would be instantly obliterated."

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Gu Family's Land of Slumber.

The Hongmeng Ruler was tightly secured by several old ancestors.

Xiao Han's vitality was being erased, but the Hongmeng Ruler, being his companion, continuously supplied him with life force.

"Everyone, surely an Innate Dao Artifact isn't this outrageous?"

"This might be another type of divine artifact, but still within the realm of Innate Dao Artifacts, with mysteries we don't know."

"Quickly deal with it, if the Xuancheng Heavenly Dao fully awakens, our Gu Family will have a hard time."

As the awakened old ancestors exerted more force, three newly awakened ones joined in.

These beings' cultivation had reached another level. Even with the Hongmeng Ruler's autonomous revival, without a true master, it couldn't resist.

Suddenly, a black sword light slashed from deeper within, its aura identical to the one that repelled the other forces' old ancestors.

"It's Old Ancestor Changyun."

"He got involved too. After resting for five hundred thousand years, he's made two moves today."

The black sword light contained countless rules and innumerable Dao rhythms. The Hongmeng Ruler, having held on for so long, found its defenses torn apart like paper under this sword light.

The black sword light pierced into Xiao Han, filled with terror and unwillingness.

In that moment, countless thoughts flooded Xiao Han's mind, realizing his end had come.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and with a bang, his body exploded, turning to dust. Such damage, even the Hongmeng Ruler couldn't restore.

With its master gone, the Hongmeng Ruler dimmed, floating in the void.

Outside, at the moment of Xiao Han's death, the entire Dao Prefecture was blanketed in heavy snow, but the snow was red. The Eye of Heaven above the Gu Family, with tribulation clouds, pressed down once more, its terrifying power increased a hundredfold.
