My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Arthur contemplated a myriad of thoughts but suddenly snapped to attention. He realized he had subconsciously overlooked a crucial fact: he had never considered that Gu Lan might not succeed in breaking through to the God Realm. Every plan he made was predicated on the assumption that Gu Lan would indeed succeed.

It was known throughout the Six Realms that he was the only one who had ever reached the God Realm over millennia. The difficulty of breaking through to the God Realm had long been established. Now, the existence of someone who could seemingly disregard the bottleneck of breaking through was indeed a source of immense dread.

"This guy has already planted such thoughts in my mind?" Arthur murmured, his eyes shimmering with a palpable killing intent.

Before the Great Bright Law Face, his battle sword began to accumulate power once more.

In the Gengtian World, high above in the clouds, amidst countless phenomena, Gu Lan sat cross-legged on the Azure Lotus of Merits, surrounded by flowing multicolored lights. He quietly closed his eyes, with three identical miniature figures, representing the Three Clarity primordial spirits, seated in his palms, each mirroring his posture.

One Breath Into Three Clarity, as the strongest divine ability of the Dao Sect, was not merely about splitting into Three Clarity avatars for combat. The Three Clarity primordial spirits granted Gu Lan a cultivation speed and comprehension level three times greater than that of ordinary individuals.

With the aid of the Azure Lotus of Merits and the support of the will of heaven, he was able to transform every great Rule he had comprehended throughout his life into a manifestation.

Generally, the time taken to break through to the God Realm would not exceed twelve hours, meaning that the manifestation of the great Dao by cultivators wouldn't take more than half a day. Likewise, the longer one could comprehend during this time, the greater the benefits one would reap upon successfully breaking through.

At present, Gu Lan had been breaking through for almost half a day. In reality, because he had activated the Azure Lotus of Merits before his breakthrough, the flow of time around him had already changed. Coupled with his prior understanding of the Rules of Time and Space, he could further influence the flow of time.

At this moment, his comprehension of time under the will of heaven was likely hundreds of times that of the outside world. Thus, while it seemed he had comprehended for half a day, he had actually experienced five hundred days and nights.

"Time flies!" Gu Lan suddenly opened his eyes.

In that instant, countless great manifestations reflected in his gaze, as if galaxies flowed through him, revealing a series of profound doors yet to be opened.

"Comprehending the God Realm is indeed so profound; this understanding rivals my ten years of hard study."

"Under the will of heaven, the evolution of great manifestations is equivalent to a re-examination of the three thousand great Dao Rules."

"Now, within the Six Realms, few can rival my understanding of the Rules."

With a flick of his hand, the myriad phenomena above the clouds dissipated in an instant, as if everything had never existed. At that moment, from his fingertips spread symbols that appeared permanently engraved; these symbols were a concrete manifestation of the great Dao Rules.

"Annihilate!"

At that moment, Arthur unleashed his long-prepared killing strike. Light and darkness fused, giving birth to an infinite sense of annihilation. Under this one sword strike, all things were destined to be obliterated.

Even though Arthur had not cultivated swordsmanship, a mastery of one law allowed mastery over many; thus, this long-charged sword strike could be described as capable of destroying heaven and earth.

With this single strike, even the heavens seemed to dim.

Within the ruins of the Yin God Palace, countless buildings turned to ash.

Spiritual energy was extinguished, the power of the five elements vanished, and even the energy from the rifts in space was annihilated.

The power to annihilate everything!

This was the might of Rule fusion.

"This sword strike, even I may not be able to withstand," Arthur thought.

"Gu Lan, if you die under such overwhelming annihilation, you will undoubtedly make a name for yourself in the annals of the Six Realms!"

Having unleashed this sword strike, Arthur felt his aura wane significantly. The peak strength of the God Realm consumed much of his energy, hinting at how terrifying this strike truly was.

If he were to unleash this strike on an Earthly Realm, it could easily obliterate all living beings within that realm.

In the void, countless powerful beings who had cast secret techniques felt the impact of this strike on their souls and had to immediately withdraw their techniques.

"So terrifying!"

"Who in the Six Realms can withstand Divine Son Arthur's might?"

At that moment, the onlookers finally gained a clear perception of Arthur's strength.

While they seemed to worry about the breach of Chengtian World, in truth, they felt joy. After all, the Lanyan Royal School had defeated the once invincible Bright Clan. Even though Bright Clan's Divine Son remained, the Bright Clan had been defeated, which quelled their arrogance to some extent.

Even if Bright Clan's Divine Son was powerful, he was still just one person and could no longer challenge all the clans in the Six Realms as before.

But now, with Arthur's strike, all their hopes were obliterated.

Under that immense power of annihilation, even space was not spared; how could the Six Realms hope to survive?

"This is the true power of Rule fusion."

"Indeed, only through the evolution of Rules under the will of heaven can one thoroughly grasp this power."

"This time, I should understand."

Facing a force capable of annihilating an entire realm, Gu Lan's expression remained as calm as ever.

He lifted his hand again, and the Hongmeng Sword appeared in his grasp. The sword body trembled slightly, emitting melodious sounds, as if it too sensed the change in its master and rejoiced.

Looking at the Hongmeng Sword, Gu Lan smiled.

At that moment, the power of annihilation descended!

A series of divine symbols surrounded Gu Lan, blocking the force of annihilation. However, they slowly began to fade under that overwhelming might, clearly only able to withstand it momentarily.

The power of the evolution of the great Dao Rules was still not enough to match the combined strength of two Rule Powers.

He raised the sword in his hand, pointing it towards the heavens—towards the place where Divine Son Arthur and the Great Bright Law Face resided.

"This sword shall be named... Moment!" Gu Lan whispered softly, and with that, the sword cut through the void before him.

Moment!

The vast power of annihilation paused beneath this sword.

A beam of sword light slowly advanced, piercing through the endless power of annihilation, neither hurried nor delayed.

At that moment, time and space seemed to stand still!

That beam of sword light illuminated the Gengtian World! Illuminated the Six Realms!

The sword light seemed to traverse time and space, directly arriving before Arthur's Great Bright Law Face, easily piercing through that immensely powerful divine form.

It continued to advance!

Piercing through Arthur's divine body!

And further, in the face of Arthur's astonished gaze, it pierced through his chest and heart!

In that moment, eternity was achieved!

"The combination of the Rules of Time and Space, how is this possible?!"

"He just evolved the great Dao manifestations, and clearly had no understanding of time and space..."

Fear unprecedented flickered in Arthur's eyes, his voice sounding infinitely slow, just like the beam of sword light penetrating his heart.
