âWhy have you trespassed into the temple?â the leader asked calmly.
Their auras were overwhelming, each one like an ancient god, looking down on Xu Zimo and the others with disdain.
âYou should be aware of the consequences.â
âWe just want to go to the Goddess Palace. Weâre only borrowing the way. I donât want to resort to violence,â Xu Zimo said.
âThe Goddess Palace is the supreme holy land. Itâs not a place just anyone can go,â the leading man scolded. âSince youâve e to the Mortal Dust Palace, you must follow our rules.â
âIn that case, thereâs nothing more to say. Weâll force our way through,â Xu Zimo said, waving his hand.
Great Wisdomâs body grew larger again, towering over a hundred meters high.
âStay behind and donât get hurt,â Xu Zimo said to Gu Yue.
Seeing this, the group of red-robed Dust Envoys snorted coldly.
With a wave of their hands, an infinite power began to gather in the heavens and earth.
They seemed like the rulers of this world.
Immense force condensed around them, pressing down directly on the monk.
Great Wisdomâs massive body withstood the force, but his expression quickly changed under the pressure.
âHow are they this strong?â he turned and shouted at Xu Zimo, âe help me. I might not be able to hold them off.â
âI believe in you,â Xu Zimo smiled.
He didnât step in to help. The monkâs background was mysterious, and Xu Zimo wanted to see what he was truly capable of.
Great Wisdomâs expression changed slightly. He looked at Xu Zimo and sighed.
âYou still donât trust me.â
He raised his right hand, holding off the immense pressure.
Then drew a circle in the air with his left hand.
Within that circle, a white light flickered.
âHeavenly Change,â he chanted.
The light in his hand shot up into the sky, illuminating half the world.
However, when the light reached the heavens, it was swallowed whole.
Great Wisdom froze, then his expression shifted drastically. He muttered, âWhy has the Heavenly Dao changed?â
âDonât waste your strength. This world was created by the World-Weary Goddess. The Dao is cut off here. We Dust Envoys hold the authority,â one red-robed envoy said coldly.
âIn this land, we can draw upon the power of the world. Here, we are the only gods.â
âHelp me out!â Great Wisdom shouted to Xu Zimo. âMy divination methods are useless here. The Dao is cut off.â
âYou werenât divining earlier, were you?â Xu Zimo asked.
âThat was my ancestorâs Dao Bone. Iâm not strong enough,â Great Wisdom explained anxiously.
Seeing that Great Wisdom really had no way to resist, Xu Zimo nodded.
He drew his blade, Shadow Tyrant, and unleashed endless blade energy.
With a thunderous boom, the pressure was slashed apart.
The dozen or so Dust Envoys looked at Xu Zimo in shock and said, âIn that case, weâll suppress you both.â
Their auras grew stronger.
The auras of the dozen merged together, and their power seemed to fuse with the world itself.
Great Wisdom stood beside Xu Zimo, saying seriously, âTheyâre drawing from the power of the world. Be careful.â
âNo need. Big ants, small ants... all the same,â Xu Zimo said, waving his hand.
Shadow Tyrant rose slowly behind him, and endless blade intent began to form.
âOne strike,â Xu Zimo said calmly.
More and more blade intent gathered on the blade, distorting and shattering the space around it.
Then Xu Zimo slashed down.
In that moment, the world lost its color. The roaring blade intent surged forth.
The red-robed Dust Envoys in the sky watched the strike. The wind blew fiercely, sending their long hair flying.
âSuppress it!â they all shouted.
They pressed down with both hands, trying to counter the blade with the power of heaven and earth.
With a loud explosion, the radiant blade light burst in front of them.
The endless blade intent grew more violent, tearing through the suppression, exploding in the sky.
The dozen Dust Envoys were all blasted away, landing in disarray around the temple.
âStop! Everyone stop!â a loud voice suddenly rang out.
Xu Zimo turned to see another red-robed Dust Envoy standing beside Gu Yue.
A long sword was pressed against her neck.
âMake another move and Iâll kill her,â the envoy shouted.
âGo ahead, kill one and show me,â Xu Zimo said with a smile.
âIf you leave now, Iâll let your panion go,â the envoy offered.
âI donât respond well to threats,â Xu Zimo replied flatly.
He walked toward the Dust Envoy step by step.
Seeing this, Great Wisdom hesitated but said nothing in the end.
The Dust Envoyâs expression showed growing panic.
The sword moved closer to Gu Yueâs neck, almost touching her skin. âDonât e any closer or Iâll really kill her,â he shouted while slowly retreating with Gu Yue.
Just then, a token fell out of Gu Yueâs pocket.
When the Dust Envoys saw it, their expressions changed slightly.
One of them shouted, âStop! Donât harm her!â
That envoy descended from the air and carefully picked up the token.
He stared at it for a moment, then looked at Gu Yue and asked, âWhere did you get this token?â
âSomeone gave it to me,â Gu Yue replied with difficulty.
âLet her go,â the Dust Envoy ordered the one holding Gu Yue.
âHonored one, you...â the other envoy began, confused.
But he still released Gu Yue.
âGreetings, Divine Envoy,â the first Dust Envoy bowed slightly, respectfully handing the token back to Gu Yue.
âDivine... Divine Envoy?â Gu Yue asked in confusion. âAre you talking to me?â
âWhoever holds this token is considered a Divine Envoy,â the Dust Envoy nodded and said.
Gu Yue still seemed confused and quickly ran behind Xu Zimo.
âThereâs no need for Divine Envoy to be alarmed. We wonât harm you,â the Dust Envoy said.
âEnough with the nonsense. Weâre going to the Goddess Palace, can we or not?â Xu Zimo asked with a frown.
âWith a Divine Envoy acpanying you, of course,â the Dust Envoy nodded, not angry in the slightest.
âWhen would the Divine Envoy like to return to the Palace?â
âRight now,â Gu Yue looked at Xu Zimo, then replied.
âThen please follow me,â the Dust Envoy said with a slight smile, gesturing for them to proceed.
